Nokela Savigs

Nokela Savigs was born on August 4th 1921, in the city of Tisbeya (now Dizbey), Tisnatia.

Nokela Savigs had to suspend his schooling when he was 10 years old, to work with his father and brother. After his father's death, they managed to get enough money to move to Andover in Maralia. He wanted to go back to his home in Tisbeya, but the area was very poor and they were lucky that they moved out. Nokela Savigs was interested in poetry. He made money by selling post cards to strangers in the streets of Andover.

They were struggling in Andover aswell. They couldn't get good education for both Nokela and his brother.

Nokela got interested in politics after reading books about both far right and far left ideals. In the midst of the succession wars, Nokela supported the Hariji Coalition, the People's Revolutionary Army (PRA/PRO) and the National Assembly of Pudong Illendariya.

He came back to Tisbeya in 1947, hoping to see more progress. But it was still ruined. All the things that he preached to the Maralians of Andover, it was just a trick. He was tricked into coming back to his homeland, only to see it in shambles. The HC, PRO and NA did nothing to fix the situation in Tisbeya, they even made it WORSE. He thought that they improved his homeland, but they did not.

## Business

After this incident, he wanted to take matters into his own hands.

He got a piece of his father's land in Tisbeya and reinstated his farm. With the fertilizers from Maralia, his crops would grow faster than his competitor's crops. This resulted in many people visiting his shop in the main market of the town, as he was also a great marketer. He employed more people into his farm and he paid them good amounts of money. He knew that Tisbeya was going to face a drought soon, which was going to completely screw up his business and his income. He bought more land in Tisbeya, and he used that land to get his workers to create fertilizers with the phosphate reserves from Tisbeya. This drove up the supply of fertilizers, and with the huge demand from farmers, this got him even more money. But, his farming business wasn't doing too good. Now other farmers could get great crop yields, just like him. But, after the drought, most businesses collapsed, because the town was relying on agriculture. The only other businesses were mining businesses and Nokela's fertilizer manufactory.

## Entering politics

Nokela completely forgot about politics when his business was growing. Until, he stumbled upon a bag with his old books. He reread them, and he was shocked. This resulted in him joining the True Democratic party led by Rijah Vatani. Rijah Vatani was the leader of the HC and the PRO for a long time.

He didn't know that Rijah was the leader of the groups that "made his town worse". Nokela Savigs also enlisted in the National Army of Pudding, rising up through the ranks. After Rijah Vatani became the Supreme Leader of Pudding, he left the TDP. Instead, he created his own National Party for Development (NPD). He did many speeches to attract more followers. His party got 9 seats in the National Assembly after the 1968 elections.

He did not want to join a coalition, instead, he created his own coalition. When Rijah Vatani died in late 1968, he took this as an opportunity to take control of the country, but it failed. Instead, Ramit Nazeri (Chairman of the National Assembly at the time) created a new system for governing the country, which angered many people. The NPD grew faster than ever after this policy. In 1972, the new system was abolished by the NA and the Council of Iroven Mepin (President of Pudding). In February 1972, the Council of Iroven Mepin (now Guardian Council) chose 3 candidates:

Saltek Noleni, Perti Meniti and Nokela Savigs.

In June 1972, the "Great Discussion" had started for the National Assembly. And in September 1972, Nokela Savigs was chosen as the new Supreme Leader of Pudding, which meant that he had the power to do almost ANYTHING to the country and its diplomatic affairs.

## Leadership

Nokela Savigs' leadership started in September 1972. He was a farmer, but he wanted to make the cities better, he neglected Tisbeya, (now Dizbey), which was his home town. He lived in a huge mansion in the outskirts of Pudding City. He wanted more power, more money and more ways to expand his country. In May 1974, he attacked the United Republic of Swampia after a small dispute with the ownership of Tortuli Island. This war resulted in a victory for Pudding. Savigs went overboard and occupied most of the country, even after Swampia's surrender. He wanted the whole country, as it was "rightful territory of Pudding". He also twisted the history of Pudding in schools.

But, it wasn't all that bad. He improved schools and healthcare. The Construction Company of Iroven Mepin constructed housing for the country, with a lot of funding from Nokela's government. He learned from his old ways and improved farming infrastructure, created a big national oil company and had many more ways of income, thus diversifying his economy. In September 1975, the Anti-Savigs Movement (ASM) was created, to stop his "tyranny" in Swampia. He was accused of exploiting Swampia's resources and people. This didn't stop Savigs in his grand path to improve his country. He wanted to exploit Swampia's population to help HIS people, and not the people of other states. This was seen as racist and nationalist by the ASM. The ASM also wanted the country to be less polluted, as his "efforts" failed in this category. He didn't want to change his ways, he wanted everything to stay like this, and only this. The ASM was very mad after his statements, they wanted to kill Savigs and to get most of the National Assembly to join the ASM.

Savigs knew about their plans, so he classified them as a "terrorist organization" and banned them from participating in the National Assembly.

After they REALLY angered him, he locked up high ranking ASM officials, including the leader. The leader of the ASM was then classified "missing", but not "dead". Savigs actually thought about fixing the state of pollution in his country, but he said that the ASM made him mad. After this incident, he changed his ways and thought about how his country could be less polluted (but not Swampia).

In February 1977, Matavian protestors wanted to establish a sovereign Matavian state. This was happening because Iroven Mepin accepted their independence in 1971, but Savigs didn't recognize Matavia. This resulted in a massive bombing campaign against Matavia's capital of Mout.

This war ended in May 1977, when Matavia surrendered.

Protests sprung up in Swamei and Nitenikabo (both in Swampia) against his regime. He quelled the protests and locked up major figures. In Swamei, the protests grew larger and larger after the death of protestor Miniya Ahili on July 9th 1978. This caused protests in mainland Pudding, including in Pudding City. In January 1979, Savigs hid in Enyo, after the massive protest in Diznats. Iroven Mepin betrayed him, and supported protestors in Enyo. Savigs managed to escape to Estokia. His army also managed to bomb the bridge in the center of Enyo, killing 32 people.

## Last days and death

In November 1979, he resigned as leader of Pudding. Many people were happy, many were sad.

In February 1980, he came back to Pudding City after the drama. He went to the National Assembly building, and met the members of it. They did not like him. He took his power for granted and didn't listen to the guidance of the National Assembly. Despite this, he visited the building every Saturday. He returned to his mansion in Pudding City, and stayed there for a while. He was taking substances that were not good for his health. In April 1980, his helpers reported that he was having issues with his health. On May 6th, 1980, he had his last visit to the National Assembly building. While talking to his best friend, he had a heart attack. He was rushed to the ER, but it was over. He had passed away. THE END.
