Katharina Müller

**Katharina Anneline Müller** (December 15, 1985 -) was a Dunsteenian politician and campaigner who is currently serving as the 21st President of Dunsteen from May 1, 2025 following the 2025 Dunsteen Presidential Election, as well as the leader of the Alliance 90/The Greens from 2018. She also served as the MP for Hannover between 2017 and 2025, and as the parliamentary leader of the Greens between 2017 and 2018.

Entering into a political career as a an MP for Hannover in 2017, Katharina Müller had previously worked as a journalist and began to climb the ranks of her parliamentary party through the late 2010s, becoming a key spokesperson for the party and in 2018 she became elected the leader of the Green party too. As a result of her growing popularity, Müller led the party into the 2022 Dunsteen Presidential Election but didn't make up enough of the vote share to make it to the final ballot, before finally winning the snap 2025 Dunsteen Presidential Election and becoming the first woman to hold the title of President of Dunsteen.

Taking office at a time of deep political crisis in the aftermath of the Libirachi Civil War, which had left much of Europe in upheaval, and with the cession of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen in 2023 the nation had struggled to keep itself on its feet, with an already unstable political system being thrown into chaos meddling Asian countries; Katharina Müller took office on the back of a liberal wave sweeping Europe, whilst widespread anger at the government of Emanuel Macron allowed the Green party to become the largest party in the nation as well as landing the presidency.

Initiating the creation of the Tri-Nation Pact in 2026 between the Garcia presidency in Spain, the Nilsen administration in Avalonia and her own government in Dunsteen, Katharina Müller forged closer ties with her European neighbours in the aftermath of the secession of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen in order to try to isolate the region and to strengthen it's own economy in the wake of the separation. Forming a liberal pact of regimes, Müller led Dunsteen in the wake of it's mid-decade internal strife and would go on to forge ties with the Libirachi Fox Dynasty as well as the Selina Meyer presidency in the United States and PM Matilda Crow of the UK; working with like-mined political allies, the Müller administration was able to navigate safely through the 2027 Global Banking Crisis and minimise damage to the already fragile economy.

As a key leader of Dunsteen in its moment of crisis, Katharina Müller is often compared to the leadership of Presidents Friedrich Ebert (1905 - 15) Albert Lebrun (1935 - 54) and Charles de Gaulle (1960 - 70) as great leaders of the nation, with Müller frequently ranked in the top 5 leaders of Dunsteen whilst still being in office, an achievement exclusive to herself within Dunsteenian history.

## History

Katharina Müller grew up as the daughter of a social worker and a mechanical engineer together with two sisters and two cousins on a farm in Pattensen near Hanover in Lower Saxony. She attended the Humboldt School in Hanover and completed an exchange year in Florida, at Lake Highland Preparatory School, at the age of sixteen. As a teenager, Müller was a competitive trampoline gymnast, taking part in German championships and winning bronze three times.

From 2005 to 2009, Müller studied political science and public law at the University of Hamburg. In 2014, she graduated with a master's degree in Public International Law from the London School of Economics (LSE). In 2014, she completed a traineeship at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL). She also started a dissertation on natural disasters and humanitarian aid at the Free University of Berlin but never finished her thesis.

In 2012, Müller unsuccessfully ran for a place on her party's electoral list for the federal elections. In 2017, she was the Green Party candidate in the constituency of Hannover as well as securing the leading spot on the party's electoral list for the state of Brandenburg. Through the electoral list, she became a member of the parliament.

During her first term, Müller was a member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and Energy as well as of the Committee on European Affairs. In her parliamentary group, she served as speaker for climate policy. For the 2022 elections, Baerbock was again the leading candidate in the state of Brandenburg, retaining her seat in parliament.

In 2030, Katharina Müller won re-election to the presidency on the platform of introducing a new form of government to blend the executive and legislature into a single operating unit after political wrangling led to the blocking of large parts of Müller's political platform during her first term. On September 14, 2031, the National Assembly passed a new constitution which changed the mandate of the presidency to an office elected by the National Assembly, whilst also combining the offices of prime minister and president; in the place of the prime minister in the official chain of succession, the title of vice president was created and granted to Robert Habeck.
