'蛙'

**'蛙'** MS NC (March 2021 – disappeared 9/10 March 2022 - reappeared 18 June 2022), is a Nyrmodian politician of Polish ancestry. He was a founding member of the Nyrmodian Green Party and served as one of its first four chairpeople. He is also active in regional politics of his home region Canaan. Outside of politics, some credit him with pioneering the usage of racial slurs in Nyrmod. He disappeared during the March 2022 civil conflict, but resurfaced without explanation three months later; since then, his participation in Nyrmodian politics has been irregular. He is the co-founder of the Halalficat Institute and the foremost propagator of the former president's ideas.

## Early days and Green Party

'蛙' became a member of Nyrmod at the very start of the server. He was one of many people who came together to form the Green Party and soon was elected Chairperson alongside Rhys, Reindeer, and Adrian. He also took the second place in the party's list for the Senate and was elected.
While in the Green Party, he was known as a member of the party's leftist wing and was a prominent advocate for a left-wing path instead of turning to centrist and right-wing parties. Additionally he was one of the main advocates for the Forward for a Better Tommorow coalition, and was one of the most radical supporters of integration into a joint list. Following a number of controversies, he resigned from Green leadership and his Senate seat, but remained an active member for some time. In early April, he left Nyrmod.

## Return to Nyrmod and later events

In November 2021, around seven months since '蛙' departed Nyrmod, the far-right politician Lee encountered him by chance in Morocco, where the ex-senator was living as an advisor of the King and chancellor of al-Qarawiyyin University. Despite having never met him before, Lee recognised him and persuaded him to come back to the country after the long absence. On landing in Nyrmod, '蛙' was welcomed by a few friends and quickly re-entered the country's social life. While he settled in Nyrmod, he refrained from participation in political work for some time. However, he became a member of the Canaan Regional Assembly, elected from the FABT Canaan list. At this time he was a member of the Bonanzer Party, which he described as a "political retirement home".

He joined the National Agrarian Left Party when it was established on December 1st and became an active member of the party. Despite re-entering politics, he decided to not engage in the national scene, instead putting his focus on Canaan, his home region (see Regional Politics section below).

He was a notable supporter of the United for the Fatherland party after it was taken over by his friend Adamp and served as an advisor to the leadership. Notably, he was instrumental in drawing up the plan for the ultimately unsuccessful UFF-NCP-SDP government in the region of Sköll.

In the 11th Presidental Election, he was the vicepresidental candidate on Halalficat's ticket, running on left wing populist and direct democratic ideologies. They finished in the first place with 26% of the vote. However, after the results, one of the losing candidates filed a petition to the court to disqualify Halalficat after his victory, which was accepted. '蛙' has expressed disagreement over this development.

He designed the flag of Canaan.

## Second return

'蛙' returned to Nyrmod yet again in June 2022 in unexplained circumstances. He resumed his membership of the Green Party and was elected to the National Assembly. Later, he was chosen to represent the opposition in the Supreme Court, but resigned after a few days to join Kuniĝo. He translated the party values document to Polish. Since that time, he participated in politics on an irregular basis. He has been awarded both the Medal of Service and the Nyrmodian Cross.

Following his failed presidential candidacy (as detailed below), he left Nyrmod, but soon rejoined to take part in the founding of the Marxist-Leninist Nyrmodian Socialist Party and assumed the role of deputy to the party's leader Friedrich. He remained in this position as the leadership was taken over by Lee following Friedrich's retirement. '蛙' managed the negotiations that led to a coalition between the SPN and the Greens, his former party, called the Green-Red Movement. The General Election 26 saw the GRM win 18.33% and second place, less than one percentage point behind the Liberal Party, which formed a right-wing government. As a result, he assumed the office of Leader of the Opposition. In the meantime, the SPN merged with the United Workers Party under the name of Communist Party of Nyrmod (new)The government collapsed soon, however, and the resulting snap election saw the GRM solidify its position and win its first election by securing a 2.79% growth, as the Liberals collapsed spectacularly, losing over 10% of their former voteshare. '蛙' himself was not present there, however, as he had joined the New Democrats not long before, along with other political big names such as Salabi, Ronan, Martie, and Urn. He participated in the negotiations that led to the New Democrats entering government under GRM leadership.

Also in January 2022, along with Don't pay taxes and Ghalvink, who served as first lady and vice president respectively during the presidency of Halalficat, '蛙' co-founded the Halalficat Institute.

## Regional politics and Forward Canaan

Some time after rejoining Nyrmod, he was elected to the Regional Assembly of Canaan on the FABT list. The FABT entered government with liberals, headed by governor Mountain, and he became regional Minister of Culture and Tourism for the first time. He was involved in a failed attempt to topple the government with the NCP after the liberal Speaker's questionable actions. Following this, he lost his seat in the Regional Assembly alongside fellow NALP councillor Pepito due to earlier party switching. However, the conflict was soon resolved, and having left his status as minister to the governor's decision, he kept the office.

Soon, he was appointed as the head of the NALP's Canaan section, which contained most of members, and was given charge over regional politics of the party. In the following regional election, Pepito and '蛙' were elected councillors from the NALP, and subsequently entered the government with the Unity Front, again with Mountain as governor. He became Minister of Culture again while Pepito assumed the office of Lieutenant Governor.

For the next regional election in late January, he took the decision to contact leaders of the Social Democratic Party (new) and the Labour Party of Nyrmod for a regional alliance. The talks succeeded and an alliance was formed between these parties named Forward Canaan. However, in the first election contested by Forward, it did not achieve success, being defeated by a margin of three voted by the national conservative to social liberal Prosperity Alliance. The resulting government under governor Mikk failed to pass a budget or any other law. This might have been the reason why Forward, now composed of the Agrarian Labour Union (NALP and LPN merge), the Green Party, and the Democratic Socialist Party, won the following election by a margin of one seat (despite vote results indicating a much bigger margin, the election was plagued by irregularities). Following the success, prominent SDP politician Siemv1 was elected Speaker of the Assembly, while ALU member and former Lieutenant Governor Pepito was elected Governor. At the time of his disappearance in the civil turmoil, '蛙' was expected to be appointed for a third term as Culture Minister by the new governor.

He returned in June 2022, was once again elected Mayor of Nippur, and re-assumed his leadership role in Forward Canaan (as governor Simano was elected President), but did not run for governor.

At the end of December 2022, on returning to regional politics and incorporating Forward Canaan, by that time inactive, into the Canaan Reform Party, he finally took the office of Regional Minister of Culture and Tourism again, being included in Governor Salabi's cabinet. He remained in the position under acting governors Adriano and Mikk. In the next election he was chosen to be Salabi's running mate and became Lieutenant Governor, while continuing in his ministerial role, as the CRP won the regional election.

Later, having joined the New Democrats and then the Libertarian Party of Nyrmod (new), '蛙' turned his attention to local politics in Nippur once again. As mayor of the village and concurrently regional minister of Culture and Tourism, the first of his two biggest achievements was combining public and private investments to establish a number of high-profile casino resorts, with Ronan's Irish Casino Resort as the flagship of the enterprise, inside the borders of the village, under the banner of "Las Vegas of the North". The second big project of his tenure was development of the Netimeras Municipal Forest, which he had established in his earlier term as mayor. in the public park, he established an alley of statues, containing the likenesses of rapper MF DOOM, communist politician Friedrich, right-wing politician and former mayor Netimeras (namesake of the park), former president Halalficat, and another communist politician and federalism advocate Zhi.

## Personal life and controversies

He is the son of a Polish consul in the then-Icelandic city of Eridu. After retiring from his diplomatic post, his father settled in Nippur, Nialno. There, he met his future wife, who came from a family of third-generation Polish immigrants. '蛙' is known to cultivate his Polish heritage and is a Roman Catholic. He is known to be devoted to his "small homeland" and in politics advocates localism and regionalism. He is also a strong environmentalist.

'蛙' has been involved in many controversies throughout his career. During his early career, he was controversial for his straight, often unparliamentary, language, including one instance when he called LDU leader Inks "schizophrenic". He was also accused of racism when he cited a hip-hop song including the n-word, which generated a major scandal. These controversies led to his resignation from Green Party leadership and the Senate.

Additionally, after his first return to Nyrmod, he generated controversy in some circles due to his relationships with far right leaders such as Lee, Halalficat, or Adamp and his United for the Fatherland. As described in the text above, all these politicians had important links to '蛙'. Being a longtime advisor to the UFF, he notably had a leading role in the party's government plans after the regional election in Sköll.

Following his and Halalficat's victory and then disqualification in the presidential election, '蛙' was reported to strongly disagree with the verdict, blaming it on the elite's fear of their populist platform, and planned with Halalficat to reuse this success in a future election. Some conspiracy theorists have connected this to his disappearance. This has not been explained following his second return. Later, he decided to submit an independent candidacy for the Presidential Election 20, his ideologies being Halalficat populism and anti-establishment, in an attempt to right this historical wrong. Having chosen Ghalvink, the former Vice-President under Halalficat, as his running mate, he recieved the right-wing bloc's endorsement. The ticket finished third in the election, failing to advance further, and Cable, the leftist candidate, was eventually elected.

'蛙' is known to be a fan of football, especially the Polish club Legia Warszawa, and has owned the Nialno Legionnaires in the Nyrmod Football League, which is an affiliate club of the former.
