Grand Councillor Emizerri

**Emilierzei Meizchernei-Zerri,** commonly referred to by his official nickname **Emizerri**, (born in 2000) is an Easwegian founder serving as the first and current Grand Councillor of the Common Union of Easway on Bear Island & the Pomors Frontier, and of the Imperative Council, since the 19th December 2017.

He created the modern Easwegian state and the Easwegian written language as well as ratifying the Constitution to ensure the welfare and prosperity of Easway and the Easwegian people.

Originally holding almost unchecked absolute power from late 2017 to early 2020, referendums proposed by Emizerri saw the Easwegian government heavily reformed and decentralised from the High Government era starting 14th January 2020 through to the appointment of new regional Marquis and a constitutionally defined Chancellery within a state Council on the 25th May 2020, which made the head of government National Directorate independent from heads of state, a period which is categorised as marking the end of the Provisional Government and the beginning of the Directorial Federation. Emizerri held the honourary co-official title of Emperor in the English language from independence through to 2022 when after multiple referendum attempts endorsed by himself to remove the head of nation's imperium yielded the status quo, Emizerri used his final co-imperium over constitutional changes with permission of the Marquis of the Pomors Eichorn (Squirrel) on the 14th July 2022 to change the title of Emperor to the positively polled Grand Councillor and remove individual imperium over the constitution to make free changes entirely, with the people of Easway being affirmed as the only sovereign body of the nation.

## Name

Emizerri is a sobriquet with "Emi" coming from the first three letters of Emizerri's name "Emilierzei". Zerri is the Easwegian word for Easwegian and also means "rich person." The name is purposefully is pronounced like the English word "Emissary" but the s pronounced as z, as the Emizerri is seen as a representative sharing the message of the Easwegian national. In short; Emizerri can be summed up as meaning "Emi(lierzei) the Easwegian." Emizerri's nickname was previously officially referred to using the definite article "the" before the name, although this was officially phased out on the 1st September 2022 where Emizerri stated it was to reflect how most call him. Eminence is the honorific style of the Grand Councillor.

The Emizerri's middle name, *Meizchernei*, means Major in Easwegian and is both a rank of the militia and an honourific title. Emizerri gained it whilst heading the Cyber Council, serving as Major Director, and it stuck as part of his official name from hence on.

## Becoming Head

### Major Director of the Cyber Council

Emizerri had been involved in exploring avenues for Easwegian independence since October 2015, when he was still a teenager, when the Cyber Council, an underground and often online network of Easwegian nationalists was set up by Emizerri. Although originally having no set leadership and being a very decentralised organisation, his prominence in the movement led to him being appointed by its members as Major Director. Through his leadership he helped form the identity and goals of the unrecognised organisation. Emizerri met for the first time with Aleksou Maximus Desourrë, a Romanian-born national devoted to the cause in late 2016, who then advised Emizerri on how to shape Easwegian nationality and if needed, what tactics would be successful to gain an independent Easwegian nation through revolution and keep it free. Maximus advised the Emizerri that for an independent Easwegian nation to thrive in national spirit it must draw on the old days, including using the symbol of the Ouroboros (used in the Easwegian Commonwealth) to unite the people. It was early 2017 when Emizerri switched from campaigning not only for the independence and rights of the Zerri ethnicity, but of a greater Easwegian Nationality as a whole, which led to more people joining the Cyber Council interested in the pride an independent nation would bring. It was at this point that Emizerri coined the English term for what would become the independent nation, Easway.

### Party Chief of the Ouroboros' Serpents Party

The Cyber Council agreed to begin openly campaigning for Easwegian Independence and on 5th November 2017 created the Party the Ouroboros' Serpents [CHE in Easwegian]. The Emizerri was elected as the Party Chief by the members of the Cyber Council and Desourrë became its General Secretary. The CHE party (of which was not an official recognised party by the Norwegian Government) was de facto the leading force on Bear Island. The party received originally little response but as the cause became more vocal the Norwegian government was more hostile to the movement, and the Emizerri especially saw much hostility. Independence would not and could not be accepted was the message of the Norwegian government.

### Grand Marshal of the Independent Serpent Forces

The hositlity only strengthened the young Emizerri's resolve and he was convinced unilateral independence through seizing Bear Island was the only way. Although as someone inclined to governmental matters and so originally reluctant to serve a militia commanding role, Maximus convinced the Emizerri to become the Grand Marshal and lead all efforts for liberation. The Cyber Council confirmed Emizerri as Grand Marshal of the Independent Serpent Force on 24th November 2017, a position equivalent to a 7 star rank. He immediately appointed Desourrë as Commissar of Bear Island, responsible for political activity and training with the troops, and this date is recorded as the beginning of the Easwegian Revolution. One of the first actions taken by the Emizerri as Grand Marshal was to set up Emando [EMD] (Easwegian: protection), acting as the ground forces for the paramilitary militia. Easway declared itself as a sovereign nation on December 14th of 2017 and pledged to protect the Norwegian born population, further trade between the nations, encourage peace and Svalbard unity, observe human rights and build a prosperous and independent society. Easway's first action as a sovereign nation was setting up a provisional government, and the people of Easway elected Emizerri as head of nation, holding the official title of Chief Curator of the Realm, with the honorary title of Emperor on the 19th of December 2017.

## As Head of Easway

Emizerri's first mission was to secure stability within the new nation, but also to maintain a sense of normality for Easwegian citizens. On the 19th December, Emizerri created the Government of the Mainland of the Realm of Easway, appointed Desourrë as Grand Marshal for Bear Island, giving him control of the Serpent Forces, until further provisions could be made, gave Ezerryen Easwegian official lingual status in the country, set up the People's Committees, which were inspired by the People's Committees of immediate postwar Korea, to manage local governance with guidance and review from Emizerri's executive branch, created the Natural Monopolies Act; nationalising natural monopolies of Easway, such as public utilities, fossil fuels and minerals, housing, and banking. The position of Spokesperson of the National Electoral Commission was created by Emizerri to create a scrutiny board for the Easwegian Government's actions and to suggest democratic changes, with the People's Committees electing Oelaanni to the position. Emizerri's government declared the Independent Serpent Forces as the national militia of the Easwegian Realm and Emando (Protection) as the official ground forces branch. The Easwegians were declared a multi-ethnic arctic nation and Emizerri in a speech promised Norwegians guaranteed protection, full representation and free movement, declaring those living within Easway and those who wished to as integral parts of the new Easwegian nation. A provisional flag made from the symbol of the Cyber Council was flown as the official flag of the Realm of Easway.

Emizerri's new main goal was to increase the proficiency of the Ezerryen Easwegian language within the island, thus releasing an Easwegian dictionary, revising the curricula of state exam boards to include Easwegian literature and prose, and creating the Easwegian Committee for Language and Culture, which would uphold and protect local tradition and tongue. During this period, Easway was run through a united front represented by the Ouroboros' Serpents Party, with Emizerri as the head having final say in many facets of administration. On June 4th 2018, a controversial order was created that mandated all naturalised immigrants to Easway must have a secondary legal name in either Easwegian or Norwegian. The reason given was that it would help assimilate them and make the society more uniform. The nationalism was moderately toned down throughout the next couple of years and on December 20th 2019, the law was scrapped by the government on request of Emizerri. The position of President of Easway was created by Emizerri on June 12th and Aleksou Maximus Desourrë was declared the First President at 2:36am CET, merging the position with Grand Marshal. Desourrë: I will be a president obsessed with only one thing....the survival, preservation and prosperity of our people." Emizerri described the separation of the Chief Curator and the President as the Chief Curator being head of state, and the President being head of the government and co-commander of the armed forces.

### Creation of the Flag

Emizerri and the new President's first task was creating a new flag that represented all of Easway, as there was also a Norwegian population living on the island, which both parties agreed was distinct to the island, and part of its history and culture. The colours were perfected and revisions were made, the final ouroboros flag was made official.

### Progression of Views

Settling into a social democratic economy from the creation of the Imperial Council in May 2020, it has been noted Emizerri became increasingly combative against capitalism from at least August 2021.

Emizerri introduced his new philosophy, the Seven Masts Philosophy, which was passed on the 27th August 2021, mandating social ownership within the Realm through one of the philosophies, co-operatism; a direct Easwegian term for socialism, union action and solidarity between Easway's ethnicities, uniting as the working class.

With authoritarian vs libertarian governance becoming more of a concerning topic within Easway during 2021 when parties heavily grew within the government, including both corporatist and laissez faire models vs social democratic/socialist and communist parties, Emizerri realised that a mixed economy where the workers did not have complete sovereignty in both business and government, with the government especially gaining special interest with companies that this led Easway dangerously close to a Weimar like situation with the eventual decay of the Realm. The turning point for Emizerri's views away from capitalism was on 7th September 2021 when the Long Palace legislature attempted to ban communism, alongside Fascism, the latter which Emizerri had recommended. Emizer, i immediately after consultation with opposition Directors such as Gaia Grìbhinneach deemed this unconstitutional and blocked the implementation of the law using his then Imperium over bills, with only authoritarian state capitalism/corporatist dictatorship models he viewed as an offshoot of capitalism forbidden. The wording was revised with these considerations and the bill was passed.

In January/February 2022 Emizerri supported and helped pass via popular referendum the NDMPATRIOTICPC act proposed by the Mutualist Ouroboros Party, which renamed the Island Region administrative divisions of Easway to Commonwealths; Ez: Qezerre; Nr: Samvelde, (the Easwegian word also being a translation of republic). It also introduced the Popular Committees, official people's free organisations which holds the government accountability and ensures direct dialogue, harkening back a modified version of the People's Committees which appeared at the beginning of the Realm, with its disadvantages removed and all the advantages kept. The bill also centralised healthcare to make it less vulnerable to privatisation and allow for easier allocation of funding and support networks. The referendum passed with overwhelming support.

## Foreign Policies

Foreign policies of Easway are created in co-ordination with the Minister of Foreign Affairs; containing the Grand Councilor as its chief and the Regent Councillor as its minister, the Minister of Economics, and the Imperative Council. Since independence, Emizerri has assumed a leading role in the direction of foreign policy. Emizerri's foreign policy goals can generally be described as humanitarian, anti interventionist, anti imperialist, libertarian, secular, sometimes neutral, sometimes internationalist and often flexible based on economic conditions. Emizerri believes heavily in reconciling relations with Norway and strengthening trade where possible with neighbours, most noticibly; the Scandinavian countries (including Finland), Russia, Iceland, Great Britain and Ireland.

### Norway

Emizerri has always believed that Easway should have self-governance and independence from the Kingdom of Norway. Despite Easway being a breakaway state from Norway, Emizerri has taken a very positive and diplomatic stance with Norway. One of his first actions when ratifying the Constitution of Easway was to ensure that all Norwegian persons in the Realm shall have equal protections, as well as accepting that any Norwegian citizen should have free movement to work and live within Easway. Emizerri also made sure that the a condominium status was granted to the meterological station on Bear Island, following independence, so the Norwegian researchers could continue unimpeded.

After semi-publicly expressing dismay in Norwegian Trøms og Finnmark becoming one county, of which occurred on January 1st 2020, claiming that the cultures and peoples are widely ranged in the region and can not be equally represented with "one big soulless merger", Emizerri congratulated the left wing coalition victory on September 15th; calling it "a win for local democracy" and reportedly was happy that the county mergers across the country, initiated by the previous government, were to be reversed.

### China and Taiwan

Emizerri sees China as a country of great history, culture, science and impact on the world stage. Early within the independence of the Realm, Emizerri spoke of great potential from China due to its vast and rapidly educated population and rising infrastructure and was originally contemplating aligning more with Eastern nations away from Norway and the EU, although he spoke of concerns about it being a one party state which Emizerri wanted to distance himself from with the People's Committees of Easway, which were designed to ascertain the political atmosphere of the Realm.

It was in February 2019, after Emizerri had completed the script for Ezerryen Easwegian and began working with President Desourrë and the National Committee to draft the Constitution of Easway that he became more outspoken in opposition of the PRC's ruling Communist Party of China due to its lack of allowed opposition parties, as well as Emizerri's claim of its historical human rights abuses, foreign intervention, lack of independent labour unions, and the PRC's persistent threats of invasion of the island of Taiwan, administered by the Republic of China, a topic which is important to Emizerri due to his self determination efforts within the Easwegian Revolution which saw Easway's Bear Island to independence.

Emizerri wished to use the term afforded to him in the newly independent Realm to set a precedent of how the government would operate in areas of self determination of democratic states and so in March 2019, after polling showed that the Taiwanese people wished in majority to stay independent over joining the PRC, Emizerri's Grand Office recognised the Republic of China's island of Taiwan and surrounding smaller claimed islands as a recognised sovereign state, whilst continuing to recognise Mainland China, which both the RoC and PRC have competing claims on as sovereign PRC territory. This alongside the RoC's claims on other territory is classified by the Government of Easway as unrecognised claims and as such the Realm of Easway classifies Taiwan as a partially recognised sovereign state, only recognising the areas which are self determined as sovereign.

Emizerri reiterated this stance after the 2020 Taiwanese Presidential election where the pro independence candidate won re-election with over 57% of votes cast.

Spearheaded by Emizerri, the Council placed a complete and total embargo on the People's Republic of China on the 19th October 2020. In compiled statements Emizerri justified the action by stating that the Communist Party of China is a bourgeoisie dictatorship which he claimed "engages in blatant human rights violations without repercussions from the international community or its courts, mass censorship of information both on the Internet and on-the-ground journalism" as well as stating "it has shown itself to mimick the imperialist actions that we have seen from western colonial states such as the USA, through its coercision of foreign governments and the exploitation of ethnic minorities, whilst holding a clear disdain for the rule of law, even within its own jurisdiction, whilst bending international law to its favour with its superpower influence." He further stated that the CPC "knows nothing but how to lie". Because of this, Emizerri believes the current state apparatus of the PRC is a threat to democratic values in both the west and east, and as such a strong opposition message should be sent by the Realm.

### Middle Eastern Arab States

#### Iraq

The Government of Easway does not entertain any idea of an Iraqi government that is not secular and promotes and respects human rights. Neither has it shown any opinion on the current Iraqi government.

Emizerri and then Grand Marshal Maximus Desourrë released a joint statement on Monday 15th January 2018, 32 days after independence declaring ISIS a terrorist organisation and enemy of humanity after the suicide bombings which took place in Baghdad. The Emizerri expressed condolences to all those affected by the evils of ISIS. Further in the statement the Emizerri and Desourrë directly named and condemned George Bush, Tony Blair, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as claiming their actions in the illegal Iraq War, Libyan intervention, and Syrian bombings "left blood on their hands" due to the destabilising of those states leading to radicalism and the past selling of arms to extremists. Emizerri later stated that the flag of the US and UK in the middle east "symbolises a butcher's apron, now symbolised by the terrorist ISIS flag."

#### Syria

The Government of Easway, including the current Second Council has recognised Bashar Al-Assad's Ministry as the legitimate government of Syria, since 2019. As with support from International Law, the Realm of Easway reiterates that the Golan Heights is rightful Syrian territory. Emizerri condemned the 2021 elections for both their non secular requirements and what he said were clear state manipulation of the process and results. He said he would not pursue a western style condemnation and regime change attitude on Assad's government, but was deeply disappointed with how Assad's leadership had turned out.

The Government of Easway recognises, since 2019, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as a terrorist organisation.

It is well known that Emizerri believes in a federal united Arab state in the Northern middle-east, combining; Iraq and Jordan, Kuwait, Syria and Lebanon. Emizerri believes that many peoples, including Arabs, must unite where possible in order to stand against imperialism and apartheid. He believes that more stronger regional associations will challenge the superpower structure of the world and overall pull more people out of poverty and opression. In relation to the aforementioned Arab states, Emizerri believes a unified Northern Arab state will ensure more assistance may be given to Palestine to give it any assistance it needs, furthering the pressure to an end to apartheid in the region. Emizerri, in co-operation with former Grand Marshal Kasimo, who is of Iraqi descent, has once proposed the term "North Arab Confederation" as one possible name.

## Political Views

Emizerri identifies as a co-operative socialist in favour of a directorial system, where in the form of government is a secular federative republic. His Seven Masts philosophy defines his core beliefs. He is generally seen as socially progressive.

The political views of Emizerri are defined through his upbringing in the United Kingdom and through testing different systems in his leadership positions of Easway. Emizerri, before leading the revolutionary Easwegian movement starting in 2015, grew up in the context of an austerity Britain, where housing was scarce and powerful corporations owned communities and the state. Disastrous privatisation in the Thatcher years and illegal invasions during the Blair years, supported by the US and many other nations, had scarred the UK and caused terror world-wide. These conditions introduced Emizerri to the idea of nationalisation and anti-imperialism, including a dismantling of the United Kingdom state. These ideas strengthened further when Emizerri began to lead the Cyber Council as its Major Director and he researched the history and culture of other nations and saw foreign intervention from both corporations and governments, often side by side as a core policy of superpowers. Originally focused on revolutionary activity and nationalisation, Emizerri fostered the belief of multi-ethnic, grand coalition governance, but did not pursue socialism as an official ideal until 2021, when he became fully disillusioned from representative capitalism and for the first time held the belief that capitalism always led to corporate rule and could not be reformed. Co-founder Aleksou Meizchernei Desourrë has served as Emizerri's primary revolutionary mentor and Gaia Grìbhinneach his primary socialist mentor.

Emizerri considers himself to be most defined by his belief in the subsidiarity, active multi-ethnic co-operation and anti-imperialism. He does not view himself as a vanguard and is not a Marxist-Leninist. The works of Lenin have shaped the beliefs of Emizerri, seeing value in his writings and his actions as a means of obtaining power of the state, but not in protecting the revolution. Emizerri's criticisms here lie in democratic centralism and what he terms 'career vanguardism', whereby the 'most class-conscious, after seizing control of the state organs, remain the most class-conscious, thereby forming a new bourgeoise in the form of a dictatorship of the central committee.' Emizerri does not agree with one party states for these reasons. Primarily supporting states based on their material conditions, anti-imperialist actions and treatment of people, Emizerri defends many aspects of Cuba and Vietnam for their struggle against the hegemony of the United States, but has dissociated from the People's Republic of China viewing the state; a superpower and member of the UN Security Council, that has embraced capitalism and does not allow independent trade unions or regional and bodily autonomy; as deserving of heavy criticism.

### Stance against Term Limits

Following a poll organised by an Easwegian republican organisation of rebel Directors and Prefects in September of 2021 which asked the public their views on the Easwegian monarchy and of term limits, (which 77% were against removing the monarchy and having term limits) Emizerri has became more vocal on his stance on term limits. He believes that Easway should never have term limits. He said in September: "Why should we have term limits? I feel this is discriminatory and against the idea of democracy ... Switzerland has no term limits and it’s heralded as the epitome of stable democracy throughout the world. One can not say it’s to avoid the accumulatation of power into one individual; like the brotherly nation of Switzerland, we are a directorial system. We exist from cross-party concensus and purposeful diminshment of power into one individual ... If we may go quickly back to Switzerland, its only had 16 Federal Chancellors since 1803. Compared to the USA's 46 since 1789, with now term limits and only FDR, who was a great leader standing more than 2 terms. I say, which country is more politically stable and democratic? I say again, I could never support term limits. I feel this Realm and its people should know that."

### Semi-direct democracy

Emizerri supports semi-direct democracy. He believes that governance is best when there are representatives appointed to act in the main purpose as administrators of the people, following the constitution set fully with the permission of the people and acting alongside the legislature which he believes should be subject via law to the will of its constituents. This he has argued is the perfect balance which allows a democratic and responsible government across all levels. Currently semi-direct democracy is represented within the Realm of Easway by the Popular Committees enacted by Emizerri's former party, the Mutualist Ouroboros Party in the NDMPATRIOTICPC Referendum, as well as a changeable (by the people) Constitution, and local governance through the National Directorate.

Direct democracy was originally attempted in the now defunct People's Committees which operated from independence on the 14th December 2017 to summer 2019 when they were disbanded by then President of the Easwegian Government Aleksou Maximus Desourrë for multiple reasons, some of which the Emizerri did not agree with which is why he created the National Directorate in August 2019, but some he did agree with, such as the perception that their public nature of voting allowed for localities to become further separated from co-operative action via predominant views of each township influencing all those who voted within a forum. Many voted how others voted, either by viewing in the moment the majority right because they are the majority, because those near them also voted in a certain way, or because of the possibility they felt intimidated to vote another way. Emizerri has continued to hold this view since 2019 and as such the Popular Committees which he supports have the option of voting in private.

"The people's vote should be private so they can not feel pressured to vote in any certain way, such as with the mob, as well as then with secret voting by the public blocking any reprisals individual or collective parties may take against those who did not vote how they wanted, or by opportunist forces who may use public votes to reward those who vote in certain ways, such as with asset value or prestige." - The Emizerri, 11th June 2022.

## Influences

### Atatürk

Emizerri has long been an admirer of Kemal Mustafa Atatürk who was the first President of the Turkish Republic. Atatürk's resilience against imperialist forces and the wish to create a new democratic state inspired Emizerri to resistance and self-rule. The Emizerri studied Atatürk's creation of the modern Turkish script during early to mid 2018 which greatly helped and inspired Emizerri in creating a standardised script for the Ezerryen Easwegian language. One of the features that Emizerri found exceptionally important was the idea that each letter and letter combination must have one sound to ease learning, as well as taking influence from the rules of vowel harmony, which the Ezerryen Easwegian language has its own version of. Furthermore, with great support from founder Csyeigo, Emizerri adopted secularist policies of Atatürk's Turkey into Easway to allow for the politics to not effect religion and vice versa. This specific policy allowed Easway to foster a multi-ethnic and tolerant atmosphere and greatly boosted the popularity of his leadership amongst the Easwegian citizens. Inspired by Atatürk's Six Arrows Philosophy, Emizerri through referendum created the Seven Masts Philosophy which sets ground rules for basic constitutional governance within Easway's institutions.

### Casimir III the Great

Casimir III the Great was a Polish King in the 14th century. His reign has been categorised as one of prosperity, wealth, and just leadership. He greatly expanded the size of the Polish Realm and recreated a civilisation built on ethnic tolerance, including greatly welcoming the Jewish population escaping persecution after falsely being made a scapegoat of the Black Death. For Casimir's actions in fortifying and reforming the Polish Kingdom whilst balancing the overwhelming power the nobility had at the time, he has been dubbed the Peasant's King. Emizerri who has long loved Slavic and Polish culture, such as the system of the Veche Councils, had learnt about Casimir III in 2016-2017 whilst reading of Poland's rich history and is quoted as saying "there haven't been many leaders able to positively bring a tear to my eye through their deeds, but Casimir III the Great, that brilliant man has succeeded." Emizerri knew that Easway would need to strengthen its militia in the coming Easwegian Revolution and make Bear Island a citadel whilst fostering a tolerant and multi-ethnic society not only to be righteous, but also to succeed as a legitimate state. Emizerri knew that the persecution of the Jewish people has long been one of scepticism and lies and that standing against all racism was the only way to be on the right side of history, as shown with Casimir III. Europe during Easway's independence phase was rife with racism, such as Islamophobia due to ongoing terrorist and white nationalist groups, with many claiming that multi-ethnic states couldn't work, but to Emizerri, states like the Polish Kingdom during Casimir III was proof this was not correct. He is stated as saying: "...Rubbish. If a 14th century feudal kingdom facing massive influxes of refugees can handle it and become one of the most successful polties of its time can handle it, so can the 21st century. There can never be any room in our new Easwegian Realm for the barbarism of hatred."

### Majorian

Majorian, Emperor of the Western Roman Empire in the mid 5th century, is admired not just by Emizerri but by the Greater Easwegian nation as a whole for his attempted rejuvenation of the Empire which had been plagued by corruption and constant destablisation through asassinations of officials and invasions.

> "Emperor Majorian inherited a crumbling Empire after a cowardly Emperor attempted to flee from a Vandal invasion of the Roman capital itself, before running into an angry mob of Roman peasants. Cowards and corrupt elites were in all high offices. Federate allies were seceeding and the Senators were filling their coffers. Rome had no one to protect her but Caesar Majorian and his army. He could have joined in with the rest and enjoyed his riches of the state whilst anarchy ensued, but Majorian was a Roman patriot and saw long term. He saw the greatness that was the Empire and wished to save it from those who admired thier own beauty before the beauty of Rome. Corruption was clamped down, taxes were raised, and an army of all who wished to serve. Roman or Barbarian, was raised. The Visigoths and the Gaul armies were defeated, Hispania was reclaimed. A final push against the Vandal Kingdom was inevitable, yet traitors sabotaged this noble effort. Returning to Rome, not deterred, Majorian set to clamp down on the corruption once and for all so an effort to defeat the raiders could come yet. This undoubtedly would have occured if not for the traitor general Ricimer who deposed a man greater than him. The Western Roman Empire fell 15 years later. But who now is Ricimer? How is he remembered vs the great Majorian? The story of the fall of Rome tells us the imperative we all hold to be vigilant in the sovereignty of our homeland, the fight against corruption and the rich elite, and establish a Realm led by the people lest it be taken away by cowards and traitors who would rather have an extra penny in their pocket than save their homeland." - Emizerri

## Public Image and Impact

Emizerri is hailed as the paramount founder of Easway and has consistently been polled as the most popular public representative in Easway. For essentially fostering the entire culture of the modern Easwegians by birthing the micronation Realm and leading as its benevolent power from 2017 independence to the beginning of 2020 whilst navigating through trial and error of different governmental ideologies such as the Presidential system and the Peoples' Committees before settling on the co-operative directorial system, Emizerri has utilised a pragmatic and gradualist viewpoint to win the support of various political factions and allowed for Easway to enact radical policies; such as the constitutionally protected commitment to a publically owned society, without large opposition. Since taking office on 19th December 2017, Emizerri has never had his positions in the office of the Chancellery properly challenged, due to his significant popularity making the inevitable loss undesirable to the few opposition he has. The one time his position was challenged in the December 2020 Council Elections, Emizerri mandated all Council members stand for the position of Emperor and Chancellor, and Emizerri won with 90% of the vote. There was no opposition campaign. Despite the significant influence Emizerri contains within political life, he has slowly democratised the Realm and taken power away from his own office and towards various governmental institutions. Firstly by creating the National Directorate in August 2019 and decoupling it from the state apparatus over the next couple of years he has focused on local power. Secondly by creating a directorial Imperial Council on the 25th May 2020 he has given what was an autocratic government pre-2020 a concensus-driven and multi-party head of state collegium. Despite creating the High Court of Justice so that the judiciary no longer is contained inside the Imperial Council, there are criticisms that the Emizerri has too much control over it, including sitting as the Court's Chancellor. Emizerri has defended this by claiming as a still fresh state they are still needing to find and train up qualified judges so it can be trusted to be fully decoupled from the state apparatus. Some critics, especially in 2021 in the government, such as left wing and republican Gaia Grìbhinneach had criticised the office of Emperor as authoritarian. Emizerri responded to this by making provisions which gives future institutions the ability to change the names of positions via a vote and adding republican defining titles to noble positions, such as Emperor being Chancellor of the Council, Marquis being Councillors, and Aldermen being Chairman of their Commonwealth. After the failed Referendum on the Title of Emperor vs Chancellor (Transitional Movement) on the 7th July 2022, Emizerri used his co-imperium over the constitution with permission from Marquis of the Pomors Eichorn on the 14th July 2022 to change the title of Emperor to Grand Councillor and removed their ability to unilitarelly change the contents of the constitution.

## Personal Life

Emizerri enjoys history, specifically key stages of socio-political history such as the French Revolution, WW2 and the creation or abolishment of states. He likes Arctic nations, with his favourite being Greenland. He practices Buddhism and believes religion is a personal matter, not to be interfered with by the state.

As is common among the revolutionary founders, Emizerri has taken steps to obscure his identity from foreign governments. In addition to his nom de guerre of Emizerri, he only shares his birthdate to his trusted circle. The Easwegian state requires a birthday for his identification and so officially his birthday is set as the 19th December 2000, the day and month being the anniversary of his 2017 election as head of Easway.
