## Early life

John Galt was born in 1915 to a Russian orthodox milk farming family in voysowei. He grew to admire and envy the wealth of cities from a young age and left to become an industrial worker there in 1934 seeking out his own fortune. He was employed in a rudimentary chemical purification plant which produced sub standard products. Many of its workers went on to die of cancer in following years, the chemical plant never made a profit and went bust in 1952, John later expressed grievances regarding the matter saying:

"It was avoidable, all of it. Just like the war, just like the next war, just like Howard."

John Galt quickly realized that to get a better job he had to go to school and earn skills and qualifications which he could use to impress hiring employers. He quickly attended high school and was known for being a bright student who quickly was found to be the top of his class. He went on to graduate from secondary school in 1940 and went on to apply himself at a job in library work. He was frequently needed by the allies to do research on happenings under the Manderov regime which occurred during the 1930s, John Galt revealed many of his pro-axis actions and was the first person outside the government to unearth news about the purge of Chinese individuals from his government.

## Labor in construction

He was later hired by a failing construction company to keep tabs on its financial state in the 1950s. He quickly turned the ailing company around and gained a reputation for corporate rehabilitation as he began to rehabilitate other ailing companies. In the 1960s he was hired by Eva bronauski to rehabilitate the cow farming industry in Voysowei. He was generally regarded as successful and quickly gained a seat in the Organization council. Despite this, John Galt was still an unknown up until the civil war when he was called in to manage Brentz and Dagrentz and oversee their Reconstruction.

His success in rebuilding infrastructure made him a prime candidate for the inhabitants of the South Island whose infrastructure had been heavily damaged by intense urban combat in 1974.

## Presidency

John Galt was elected and set to work rebuilding infrastructure as promised. Although he is generally regarded as the man who rebuilt UAS he is also criticized for how he made it happen. He also forced children to go to state sanctioned schools and normalized relations with Deng Xiaoping's China in order to buy cheap concrete. John Galt also stopped funding wars in S.E Asia. John Galt was also seen as a weak leader as he was soft spoken and did not engage in any non-essential international Diplomacy. Despite this he remains moderately popular for helping to rebuild UAS after the second Civil War.

He also attempted to copy Eva's economic policy and Eva's policy of social liberalization. The leadership of John Galt is generally seen as a brief break in political infighting, but he achieved this through extensive and pervasive censorship of newspapers, and mass incarceration of suspected dissidents. All in the name of preserving the peace which John Galt was ultimately successful in maintaining.

## Legacy

John Galts supporters see him as a man of peace while opponents see him as a controlling and intrusive micromanage who is only remembered well because of his luck in entering just as the country was in a natural recovery.
