Emanuel Parra

**Emanuel Dabien Parra** (January 28, 1955 *-* November 30, 2033) was a Persian politician who served as prime minister of Persia from November 11, 2024 to his death on November 30, 2033, as well as having previously served as the Leader of Persia Has from 17th August 2009 - 8th April 2018 and as the first President of the Persian Republic from 8th April 2018 - 4th April 2020, as well as the leader of the Provisional Government of Persia during the Hǔnluàn occupation of Persia.

As one of the most important Persian figures of the 21st century, Emanuel Parra led the Bovido Hassian province of Persia Has into becoming it's own republic once again following 109 years of Bovido occupation and was hailed as a hero of republicanism, guiding his nation into becoming a semi-stable parliamentary republic within the Middle East. Backed by the Libirachi government of President Nathan Jackson, Parra's regime began to build the Persian Republic into a bastion of liberal democracy in Asia, mirroring Jackson's own democratisation processes. Creating a secular state, Parra's early government was unencumbered by religious conflict as a direct result of the Bovido occupation which had eradicated most native religions, as well as completely up-ending ethnic distribution in the region. Despite the creation of the state, Emanuel Parra became a controversial figure in Persia following his decision to resign office on April 4, 2020 in order to allow Hǔnluàn terrorist Ashton Morre to take over the nation, and this decision is still the subject of significant academic scrutiny, with many arguing that Parra's move for "the benefit of the state" actually only weakened the nation and allowed the dictator Almac Docu to rise to power in Persia, thus in turn facilitating Penny Fox's takeover of the Libirachi Empire.

In exile, Emanuel Parra led the Persian resistance between 2020 and 2021 and ran an unrecognised provisional government from June 2020 and November 2021, when the government was dissolved following the 2021 Persian Presidential Election, in which Parra's Progressive party was defeated by Almac Docu's Republican party, ending the constitutional crisis and reunifying the nation. Resigning in the wake of his election defeat, the Progressive party held a leadership election and rebranded itself under the leadership of Congresswoman and former Finance Minister Geena Kulmuni, with Parra taking up a role within the opposition benches of congress. With President Docu refusing to appoint a Prime Minister, the nation went without a de-jure parliamentary government for 3 years as the president attempted to dissolve the role, resulting in Parra leading a campaign to elect an office holder in 2023, although ultimately being unsuccessful. In November 2024, the Persian Congress impeached president Almac Docu, resulting in the Congress Speaker appointing Geena Kulmuni as interim president; under the presidency of Kulmuni, Parra was appointed as Prime Minister and would go on to win re-election in 2024 and 2029.

With the Conquest of Africa formally started by the October 2033 declarations of war, the Maximo Exercitus Imperium (MEI) forces of the Bovido Imperium began to draft up plans for a surprise attack on the Persian Republic to try to knock out a key United Front ally early on within the conflict to prevent them from supplying the United Arab Republic, and on November 30, 2033 MEI aerial forces consisting of 10 *Buller*-*AZ15* class bomber jets crossed over the Persian boarder and made a bombing run upon the republic's capital of Nupersia, evading the Persian air force to land a series of high yield sub-atomic bombs upon major landmarks in the city, including the Persian Congress and the Prime Minister's Executive Office, killing Prime Minister Emanuel Parra in the initial raid, before all 10 of the bombers were shot out of the sky by Persian special forces protecting the city. As the nation reeled from the attacks on the morning of December 1st, President Geena Kulmuni signed an executive order granting herself emergency powers to postpone the 2034 elections and appointed Muhammed Abdulla as the new Prime Minister to replace Parra,

## History

Born in 1970 into the Bovido Has province of Persia Has, Emanuel Parra quickly became a prominent politician within the Christian nation and assumed the position of Leader of Persia Has in 2009 after the future Archbishop Syli Dean left the position. During his premiership, Parra quickly gained a reputation as a representative of the people and the Bovido government had to step in multiple times to censor his more controversial comments and policies. As Michael Ezra's health began to deteriorate in 2018, Parra was able to secure a declaration from the Bovido premier permitting him to found the Persian Republic from the province of Persia Has, which was officially founded on April 8 2018.

## Presidency

 Prime Minister

With a line of Bishops coming to an end in 2009 with the appointment of Emanuel Parra to the title Premier of Persia, Persia started to become more free as Bovido Has grew slowly milder under the rule of Michael Ezra, the Persian people were granted the right to hold their own assembly and Persia Has became the first (and only) democratically ruled provenance within the rule of the Bovido. In 2018, only a few months before Hazael Buller was appointed Archbishop and Emperor of Bovido Has, the Persian people became free to form their own republic in the Middle East, as Makassar had begun to lose its grip on the middle eastern provinces. Founded on April 8, 2018, the Second Persian Republic entered the world stage as a liberal democracy with Emanuel Parra and his newly formed Progressive party at the helm, allowing the nation to become a central power in Asia, bordering with Bovido Has and Libirachi Empire to the west and north east Following a brutal civil war in 1909, the lands of the former Persian Republic were taken over by the Lord's Grand Army and the Persian people were subjected to over a century's worth of brutal oppression and ethnic genocide. As Bovido Has grew slowly milder under the rule of Michael Ezra, the Persian people were granted the right to hold their own assembly and Persia Has became the first (and only) democratically ruled provenance within the rule of the Bovido. In 2019, only a few months after Hazael Buller was appointed Archbishop and Emperor of Bovido Has, the Persian People became free to form their own republic in the Middle East, as Makassar had begun to lose its grip on the middle eastern provinces. With Emanuel Parra as the first President of the Persian Republic, Persia became a successful and expanding country in the daunting Middle East. Under the two years of his presidency, Parra dedicated himself to growing the new republic, setting out foundations for a new constitution and imposing a temporary martial law until the said constitution was ratified by the Parliament. With his Prime Minister Nicolas Burez, Emanuel Parra managed to keep the people under control during the tumultuous period of founding a nation and together they established much of the nations law system and police forces.

After the Libirachi Empire crushed the Hǔnluàn at their Chinese base, the terrorist group began its Eastern Campaign, and quickly overran the Jordan and Palestine Hases, and began to target Persia as well. Although the strong Persian Army initially held back the terrorists, the army of Persian supporters they gained was overwhelming, and the Persian Republic began to collapse. Eager to retain their land and influence in the world, the Persian Government abdicated and invited Ashton Morre (the leader of the Hǔnluàn) and his insurgent cobalt to take up the Presidency on the 4th of April 2020, and he was inaugurated on April 5th the same year. Within a day, Burez was strangled to death by Morre in the Persian Parliament Building live on television as a warning to the people not to rebel. Despite this brutality, many people approved of Ashton Morre's rule as a fresh break form the bureaucracy of Parra's rule. Under the new Morre government the nation descended into a anarchist dictatorship, with strict restrictions placed on the people at the same time as disruptive behaviour was encouraged, with the theory being that if the population was too busy causing chaos amongst itself, it wouldn't rebel. Determined to overthrow the new president, Emanuel Parra began organising the Persian Resistance to combat his successor, taking a seat in the Persian Congress in 2021 with the liberation of Persia as part of the Progressive Party and participated in the 2021 Persian Presidential Election, losing out to Almac Docu, who assumed the Presidency and negotiated a settlement to end the Persian Republic's participation in the Has Wars in late 2021 following the end of Hǔnluàn rule.

## Resistance and return to politics

In exile, Emanuel Parra led the Persian resistance between 2020 and 2021 and ran an unrecognised provisional government from June 2020 and November 2021, when the government was dissolved following the 2021 Persian Presidential Election, in which Parra's Progressive party was defeated by Almac Docu's Republican party, ending the constitutional crisis and reunifying the nation. Resigning in the wake of his election defeat, the Progressive party held a leadership election and rebranded itself under the leadership of Congresswoman and former Finance Minister Geena Kulmuni, with Parra taking up a role within the opposition benches of congress. With President Docu refusing to appoint a Prime Minister, the nation went without a de-jure parliamentary government for 3 years as the president attempted to dissolve the role, resulting in Parra leading a campaign to elect an office holder in 2023, although ultimately being unsuccessful. In November 2024, the Persian Congress impeached president Almac Docu, resulting in the Congress Speaker appointing Geena Kulmuni as interim president; under the presidency of Kulmuni, Parra was appointed as Prime Minister and would go on to win re-election in 2024 and 2029.

## Premiership

 President

Immediately assuming the full powers of the presidency, Geena Kulmuni appointed the deposed president Emanuel Parra as her Prime Minister and together embarked upon withdrawing the Persian Republic from the Confederacy of Independent Nations, whilst their newly appointed Confederate President Rowan Hamilton attempted to continue the fight against the UAN. Tasked with the difficult role of attempting to heal the nation following 4 years of constant warfare, the Kulmuni-Parra administration began a slow job of re-patriating Persian politicians and soldiers who had been involved in the Confederate war effort and bringing them back home to reunite families, whilst also attempting to bring some of the highest state officials such as Quentin Jay and Conrad Dalton to justice, with both of them receiving the death penalty for war crimes committed under their instruction in 2025. Joining with the N20, United Nations, European Union, Union of Aligned Nations and the Libirachi Empire in order to begin a peace keeping operation within the middle east to try and prevent a third large scale Asian/European war from breaking out again after the Has Wars had devastated the continent just 2 years prior.

Following the 2027 Global Banking Crisis, the states of Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania, as well as territory controlled by the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood, were all thrown into chaos as financial and military backers in Asia, Europe and America all began to withdraw their operations from the nations, leaving them all to bear the brunt of the Great Crash by themselves, causing the area to greatly destabilise. Following the collapse of Uganda and the subsequent 2028 Ugandan Coup d'état by members of the Security Coalition as a result of state-wide bankruptcy, the nations of north Africa began to look towards each other for safety and a surge in pan-Arabism began to arise, especially as the expansionist nation of Ducist in the south of Africa began to make it's way up the continent under the presidency of Cyril Ramaphosa, leaving many people in the Islamic nations of the north to fear for their sovereign independence. Adding in to a cacophony of pressures on the Arab countries, the newly formed Bovido Imperium had merged with ST Joseph's Devotees in 2030, meaning that they could launch an invasion to conquer the region from both sides of the continent, from their foothold in Egypt and across the Atlantic ocean; furthermore, the increasingly aggressive rhetoric of Imperator Anton Ujung began to imply that an invasion was imminent, moving to place soldiers all along the boarders with Islamic Brotherhood controlled Saharan Egypt, gearing up for an assault. Formalised by the Treaty of Rabat on August 20, 2031, the unification established the formation of the United Arab Republic, placing Kais Saied as the first President of the UAR and the Pan-Arab Council was established as the parliament of the regime; with the formation of the United Arab Republic, the Persian Republic began to support the regime to allow the Libirachi Empire to fund three of the four major African nations, financing Canto Haven and Ducist directly and through the Eurasian Union of States and Persia, they also had a significant political stake in the United Arab Republic as so to prevent a Bovido Hassian invasion of the continent, thanks to the centuries old rivalry between the two nations.

With the Conquest of Africa formally started by the October 2033 declarations of war, the Maximo Exercitus Imperium (MEI) forces of the Bovido Imperium began to draft up plans for a surprise attack on the Persian Republic to try to knock out a key United Front ally early on within the conflict to prevent them from supplying the United Arab Republic, and on November 30, 2033 MEI aerial forces consisting of 10 *Buller*-*AZ15* class bomber jets crossed over the Persian boarder and made a bombing run upon the republic's capital of Nupersia, evading the Persian air force to land a series of high yield sub-atomic bombs upon major landmarks in the city, including the Persian Congress and the Prime Minister's Executive Office, killing Prime Minister Emanuel Parra in the initial raid, before all 10 of the bombers were shot out of the sky by Persian special forces protecting the city. As the nation reeled from the attacks on the morning of December 1st, President Geena Kulmuni signed an executive order granting herself emergency powers to postpone the 2034 elections and appointed Muhammed Abdulla as the new Prime Minister to replace Parra,
