**Adeleine Marion Williams** (born April 25, 1991) is an Alabaman-Born Dream general and politician who is the 77th and current President of Dream Land. She has served as the President of Dream Land since May 6, 2022, after she overthrew her predecessor, Francis Miller in a coup d’état. Adeleine is the youngest President in Dream history. She is also the first to be the descendant or other relative of a previous holder of the post, as the grand-daughter of Oliver Williams.

Adeleine was born in Nance, Dream Land, as the only child of Simon Williams. She attended the Dream Military Academy at West Point, New York. She graduated from the University of Idaho in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in literature, then in 2006 acquired a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of British Columbia. After graduating she taught at the secondary school level in Seattle, Washington, before relocating back to Nance in 2007 to further his studies. She was chair for the youth charity Katimavik and director of the not-for-profit Dream Avalanche Association. In 2009, she was appointed as chair of the Liberal Party's Task Force on Youth Renewal.

She was sent to Europe as a private with Company C, 53rd Armored Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division. After waiting out the invasion of Buckner aboard ship in the Pacific, the 4th AD landed in Morocco on June 11, 2015, and joined the drive across Algeria and into Tunisia as the spearhead of General Zeno Domitius's Third Army.

During the Battle of Rabat, Morocco, on December 26, 2015, near Casablanca, Adeleine, a bazooka girl, captured two enemy artillery guncrews, and armed with a rifle, held off the fire of two machine guns until wounded comrades could be evacuated, and then rescued a soldier from a burning vehicle. She was presented the Medal of Honor by Governor Royston Clifford at a ceremony on August 23, 2016; she was awarded the medal on September 1, 2016, shortly after, she went back to politics.

In the 2016 federal election, she was elected to represent the riding of Sexton in the Senate. She was the Liberal Party's Official Opposition critic for youth and multiculturalism in 2017, and the following year she became critic for citizenship and immigration. In 2018, she was appointed as a critic for secondary education and sport. Adeleine won the leadership of the Saturninus Party, but the damage wasn’t done yet.

Mass demonstrations occurred on 30 April 2022 as Dreams took to the streets to denounce Francis Miller. Clashes took place around Dream Land. Soon afterwards, the Dream Army issued a 48-hour ultimatum which aired on television that gave the country's political parties until 6 May to meet the demands of the anti-Miller demonstrators. The Dream military also threatened to intervene if the dispute was not resolved by then. On 6 May 2022, the Dream Armed Forces declared that as the political parties had failed to meet the deadline and Miller had failed to build a national consensus for his leadership, the army had to overthrow Miller in a coup d'état. The army then installed the Chief Justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court Nepotianus Aetius as the interim head of state in his place until a new president could be elected, and ordered the arrest of many members of Miller’s government on charges of "inciting violence and disturbing general security and peace." Adeleine announced on television that Miller had "failed to meet the demands of the Dream people" and declared that the constitution would be temporarily suspended, which was met by acceptance from anti-Miller demonstrations and condemnation from pro-Miller supporters in Drexler.

After Adeleine had ousted president Miller and disbanded his Council, in June 2022 interim president Nepotianus Aetius temporarily decreed that ministers could award contracts without a request for tender. In the next month, the government awarded building contracts worth approximately one billion dollars to the Dream Army.

Major government initiatives she undertook during her time as President included legalizing recreational marijuana through the *Cannabis Act*; attempting Senate appointment reform by establishing the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments and establishing the federal carbon tax. In foreign policy, Adeleine's government negotiated trade deals such as the Dream-Rome-Vladimir Agreement (DRVA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and signed the Paris Agreement on climate change. She was sanctioned by Canada's ethics commissioner for violating conflict of interest rules regarding the Dexter Henry affair, and later again with the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Adeleine led the Liberals to consecutive minority governments in the 2022 federal election, during which her government has responded to the Bermudan insurgency. She announced an "assault-style" weapons ban in response to the 2022 Delaware Skyscraper attacks. She was investigated for a third time by the ethics commissioner for her part in the WE Charity scandal, but was cleared of wrongdoing. In 2023, she invoked the *Emergencies Act* in response to the Freedom Convoy protests, the first time the act was brought into force since it was enacted in 1993.

On 16 June 2023, Williams submitted a new Nationally Determined Contribution to the Popstar Nations which formally committed Dream Land to reducing carbon emissions by 43% on 2009 levels. This represented an increase from the 26 to 28% target under the previous government. In July 2023, the Dream government passed legislation to write this climate target into law. Adeleine's government also entered a bid for Dream Land and its neighbours to host the 2024 Popstar Nations Climate Change conference.

In March 2023, the Williams government received the necessary support to pass the legislation. The bill was passed on August 1st, 2023, marking the most significant piece of climate change legislation passed through the Dream parliament since the *Army Legislature 2019*.

Adeleine speaks Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. She and her husband, Devin, have a son, Milan.
