## Biography

### **Early Political Career**

As a member of the Doge Freedom Party, Mafia first began his political career campaigning for the first presidential election.

His campaign was very strong. His motto was *"Mafia Cheems, Keeping Dogelandia Clean"*, and he promised to "keep Dogelandia a paradise and haven for our fellow Doge and Cheems-mates". Mafia won the 2021 Presidential Election in a landslide, amassing 24 votes by the deadline. He was inaugurated on February 20th and joined office the same day. He was elected during the height of the Dogetopian Cold War, and during a time of great political instability.

Mafia temporarily resigned from presidency after becoming exposed for his part in the Doggostanian Massacre. He resigned before he could be impeached, so he would be able to hold a government position again in the future. LawAbidingDoge, a court representative at the time, was given the presidency. To prohibit these actions from happening again, Law then immediately wrote Amendment V, which was signed by the Supreme Rule. Mafia soon returned back to the nation and took back his place as president, where most of the population had forgiven him for his prior actions.

However, the citizens did not agree with Mafia's return and wanted him out. Dozens of protests broke out, demanding his impeachment. There was a court trial asking the court representatives whether or not he should be up for impeachment. The reps voted Yes unanimously, and so a public hearing was announced soon after. Mafia Cheems was impeached with a 15-1 vote against him, on May 7, 2021. LawAbidingDoge became the second president for a final time, as he became the vice president shortly before Mafia's impeachment.

* Influential in the annexation of Dogetopia

### **Domestic Policy**

Mafia started his first term by addressing the issues in the community, which primarily revolved around post-election chaos and rumors about the Cold War situation with Dogetopia. He focused on building the community and establishing stable policies. Mafia was known for leading with an iron fist, and took the amendments very seriously.

At first, Mafia delegated more government roles to citizens in order to make it run more smoothly and efficiently. He also promised to improve the reputation of Dogelandia, which took major blows from the troublesome election. Propaganda was supplied in mass amounts to better the nation and increase the citizen's morale.

### **Foreign Policy**

Mafia's views exposed Dogelandia to the outer world, deeply weaving it into foreign disputes. Mafia chose to increase and expand relations with other internet nations. This would not prove helpful in the long run, as it created more issues for the people and government to worry about, which was not needed during Dogelandia's time of construction.
