77brickman05

**77brickman05** (December 22, 1971 - October 12, 2023) was the President of the GTR from 2020 to 2023 and member of the Spawn Imperial Family.

## Early Life

77brickman05 was born December 22, 1971 in New Spawn City, Spawn Empire (Now Spawn Village) the son of Prince 76brickman05 and roxxanne\_memer. His father was a prince of the Spawn Imperial Family and the Governor of the Imperial Territory of Teuta at the time. His mother was a commoner and a school teacher. He was one of four sons of Prince 76brickman05. Raised in a Brickist household, he attended Central Spawn School before transferring to the Imperial Military Academy (also known as Northpoint Military Academy) at the behest of his father. He graduated with a regular degree in Grand Strategy and Logistics. After which, he joined the Imperial Army as an officer.

### Military Career

Brickman enlisted in the Imperial Spawn Army as a Lieutenant 1st Grade after graduating. According to surviving records, his career was fairly standard, only participating in two battles over the course of his career of many years.

### Founding of the GTR

During late 2019 and early 2020, the Empire experienced significant internal turmoil including the death of the Emperor leading to its breakup. Brickman was stationed in the Imperial Territory of Teuta during this time. Using his force of 1000 men, he seized control of the Imperial Port and declared the "Teutonic Realm". He declared himself President and sent his men to clear the island of mobs.

## Presidency

Brickman had generally high popularity figures throughout his presidency, however, it is unclear if these numbers are artificially inflated or natural. He has been criticized by some outside sources for his perceived opulent lifestyle, maintaining over four houses around the Realm. He presided over the GTR's involvement in the Great Poop War, First and Second Great Realm Wars, the UN invasion of Albania, and most recently the Teutonic Civil War.

The economy of the GTR, compared to the former Imperial Territory of Teuta, has grown immensely along with the GDP per capita and overall standard of living, mostly due to the conquering of many resource-rich territories by the GTR. State involvement in the economy has increased with some calling it a form of corporatism although Brickman rebukes this accusation, calling the economy of the GTR "The freest on the Realm, possibly ever."

The military has also advanced in technology, size, and budget to facilitate the annexation of territory undertaken by the GTR. After the disintegration of the Spawn Empire and especially after the Civil War, he has grown increasingly authoritarian and autocratic, indefinitely abolishing the Senate after the Agriculture Party landslide in April 2021 which led to the Civil War. A police state has been introduced and freedom of speech and press has been substantially restricted. Brickman again denies this, saying "Proactive security measures are hardly authoritarian. Personal freedom is a priority of this administration."

## Personal Life

Brickman mainly lived at his estate at 1 Presidential Lane in New Rawabi Prefecture, though he owned at least three other houses where he occasionally stays. He was diagnosed with gout in 2015 and was absent from the public view for several weeks. He was a licensed pilot, obtaining his license in 2018.

## Later life and death

Brickman's last public appearance was on July 23, 2023 during the unveiling of a new steel plant. Commentators at the time noted that he appeared pale and thin. He issued his final presidential order on August 12, 2023.

On October 12, 2023, he died at his home in New Rawabi at age 51. His personal physician noted that a combination of chronic gout, excessive opioid usage, and "general unhealthiness" had contributed to his death. His death was officially announced on October 14, 2023.
