Graham Follings

Sir Graham Vincent Follings (16 May 1877 - 6 June 1950) was a Jetzeburgian-Jonathian politician who served as the first prime minister of Jonathia between the years of 1920 and 1925. He is tied with four other prime ministers for the title of second-longest service as prime minister, the longest-serving being Taylor McKenzie, who served between 1937 and 1949 due to the Great War.
Follings was born in 1877 and originally studied law at the University of Jetzeburg in order to become a lawyer. His life path changed in 1917 when he became involved in the discussions for the formation of Jonathia. Quickly rising as a major voice in the discussions, Follings' ideas and thoughts of making the country a democracy soon spread to what would become the foundations of the modern Jonathian state. In 1920, with the formation of Jonathia, Follings would be elected as interim prime minister, before an election in January the following year would see him properly elected in a landslide.
Ideologically an economic liberal and Jonathian unionist, he was for most of his career a member of the Republican Party, as leader from 1923 to 1925, before resigning as leader and becoming an MP before his death in 1950. As prime minister, he was succeeded by his deputy, Andrew Darton. Follings was also well known for his military career and as a historian, painter and writer, and among his many awards was the Nobel Prize in Literature.
