==Political Career==
===Governor of the Pacific States===
In the race to become Governor, Fateema el-Farman made a single campaign speech in which her promises to the State, in case of her election, were made. She committed to laying the groundwork for high speed rail to connect major cities across the state, raising the minimum wage wage to $30 an hour, capping the profit margins on consumer goods, and guaranteeing four years of free college for families earning less than $100,000 USD per annum.
The first promise on this list to be fulfilled was with the introduction of the High Speed Rail Act, which created high speed rail connection plans between San Diego, Los Angelos, San Jose, San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Chico, Medford, Eugene, Salem, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Everett. This was predicted by the State Government to cost $34 billion over the 2045 fiscal year. 
Subsequently, a minimum wage act was introduced, raising the minimum wage, and capping the price of goods, on January 1st, 2045. The wage increase was to be performed sequentially, increasing $2 annually, until reaching the set $30 an hour. 
Two further acts of legislation, Tax the Rich Act, and the End Homelessness Act, were introduced to increase the tax burden on wealthy members of society, and to take control of abandoned buildings to begin works to convert them into housing for the homeless. 
The Pacific Flag Act, introduced on January 1st 2047, gave the Pacific State its new flag, embroiled with the communist hammer and sickle symbol, on a field of white and red. 
The End of the Homeless Era Act attempted to guarantee state control over the entire housing market in the Pacific States, this resulted in a an impeachment vote being tabled against her position, which failed by 10 votes to 8. An outbreak of rioting and targeting of political party members of the SUP, resulted in her eventual resignation, and handing over the Governor position to the current serving governor, Hi Haifeng.
