Leiinnas

## As Grand Chancellor

When he became chancellor, he was on neutral terms with all the major factions of the Grand Council, a major reason for his ascension. However, Leiinnas would quickly alienate his small fan base within the Konsers, when he proposed in the Luscom a bill of allowing women to join the Grand Council. During this period, Konsers would turn from Innoveos supporters into the main conservative faction within the Grand Council. Seeing this as a threat to tradition, the Konsers would become outraged. This resulted in a new faction forming in the Grand Council, the pro-Leiinnas and progressive Proers. Now Regites began choosing side, most importantly the Regite of Cascadia, Inpeos, would side with the Konsers. Seeing the Konsers as his permanent nemeses, Leiinnas knew he would need to get new support, since his Proers weren't large enough.

Leiinnas, ever the populist, proposed the Social Bill. Involving many land reforms and limiting of monopolies, He would see his first and greatest defeat so far, with the Konsers denying its passing. In an attempt to regain popularity among the Grand Council and the populous, he would tour the nation and give speeches about greater wealth for the working class. This only alienated the Konsers further, and even partially some of Proer supporters. The Grand Council was now equally divided between Konsers and Proers, with a small group of neutrals. Leiinnas would have two new goals, convert the Neutralists and to persuade the powerful Inpeos and his group of devoted allies onto his side. Seeing his best chance of support being economic expansion, Leiinnas set out for that exact goal.

Although already done, asteroid mining was in a somewhat infancy by this point. Leiinnas would see to exploit the somewhat untapped market. However the economy was a bubble, waiting to pop. Leiinnas didn't care, however. He primarily focused on the short term goals. For 37 years, the economy soured higher and higher, until it finally popped. The Detruo, as it was called, would see Sol's economy crash. Inflation and corruption began to follow. The Earth was quickly becoming bankrupt, and Leiinnas had no solutions to the rising crisis. His calls for unity in the Grand Council fell on deaf ears, leading to greater political divide and extremism rising. The Konsers soon became overrun by reactionary militarists. The Proers became more radical in their democratic socialism. New factions arose, the Messeers, lead by Oiios, wanted to completely redo the EGR's government. The many factions and division, along with the constantly worsening economy lead many to blame Leiinnas. Living standards dropped drastically and a majority of Earth was jobless and in poverty. In order to save his political career, Leiinnas saw his last hope in convincing Inpeos to join him, and have to his powerful allies keep him afloat. Inpeos, however, refused any offers made by Leiinnas. Inpeos had his own goals, knowing full-well that associating with Leiinnas was a political death-sentence. Leiinnas, as a show of good will, tried to propose a bill, making the economies of the Americas more independent on Vancouver and Cascadia. This however angered both the populous and Cascadians. Inpeos was furious. He decided, along with a circle of other influential Regites and Konsils, they would create a secret organisation planning on Leiinnas' removal. This would become the Black Ring Society. The Black Ring would involve Konsers, Proers and Messeers. All of them collaborated with each other in secret, conspiring against Leiinnas. They would hold a successful impeachment process. Before they could impeach him however, Leiinnas finally resigned but put his right hand man, Forttos, in his place. Leiinnas would continue the rest of his life hiding under the false identity of Albert "Akk" Oak.
