Karyn Voor

**Karyn Padmé Voor** (September 18, 1993 -) was a Libirachi politician, political scientist and propagandist who served as president of the Imperial Cabinet from July 27, 2033 until October 7, 2040. In addition to this, Voor served as Chairwoman of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order from October 7, 2040 onwards, and as the Chair of the Imperial Directory Board from September 25, 2031. Voor was also a founding member of COMPNOR who led the propaganda division of the Ministry of Education between 2019 and 2025, as well as serving as the Minister of Propaganda for the newly created Imperial Ministry of Propaganda from 2025 to 2041. Voor served as a member of the Libirachi National Congress from March 13, 2025 onwards.

As a key member of the COMPNOR Directorate, Karyn Voor became best known for her propaganda designs as an artist in the Freedom Corps of the Ministry of Education in the early 2000s, taking a key role in the ministry's artist divisions under Presidents Zuma and Jackson before becoming the director of propaganda under the new Commission for the Preservation of the New Order as one of the inaugural leaders within the commission, working closely with Director General Penny Fox to create propaganda to prop up the new regime, personally painting the coronation portraits of both Empresses Fox I and Fox II. Leading the propaganda division into the reign of Fox II, Voor acquired large levels of personal respect from the new empress for her work in solidifying her regime, with Voor being promoted to the office of Minister in the newly formed Imperial Ministry of Propaganda, which began enacting new policies and paintings to commemorate anniversaries of key events and occasions as well as keeping the populace subjugated beneath the boot of the Beijing government.

Following a souring of relations between Empress Penny Fox and President Damien Salamander in the early 2030s, Karyn Voor became the leader of COMPNOR in 2031 and set about undermining the power of the Revolutionary Party within the National Congress, helping orchestrate mass arrests of party members before leading the Commission to conduct a coup d'état against President Salamander in July 2033. Having taken over the government with the aid of the Empress Fox, president Voor was quickly thrust into the Conquest of Africa which erupted in September 2033; taking up the role as one of the central leaders of the fight against the Bovido Imperium, Voor helped establish the Shanghai Pact in early 2035 and was re-elected easily in October 2035, winning a majority in the National Congress for her COMPNOR party. In March 2038, Voor resigned her leadership of the Revolutionary party and appointed her political deputy Angelica Rivera as vice president.

In Autumn 2039, President Karyn Voor presided over the 20th Anniversary of the New Order celebrations and was a key organiser thanks to her role as minister of propaganda. In October 2040, Voor stepped down as president of the Fox Dynasty and handed power to her deputy Angelica Rivera, instead focusing her attention on the leadership of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). As part of this, Voor was appointed as chairperson of COMPNOR in the Rivera administration, further consolidating Voor's total dominance over the commission.

As one of the principle architects of both the Fox I and Fox II regimes, the propaganda work of Voor managed to solidify the power base of the two empresses across several decades, making her one of the most important members of the imperial government and COMPNOR, with her personal and professional connections to Penny Fox making her also a key power player and an influential leader who's eventual ascendancy to the presidency in the 2030s made her one of the most visible proponents of Fox's regime. Ranked as a decidedly above average President by historical scholars, Karyn Voor is frequently compared to the presidencies of Pearce Longwood, Damien Salamander and Xi Jimping, with comparisons especially being drawn to the latter two who both served under Empress Fox II and the Monarchy-Presidency system introduced in 2019. Voor's personal popularity further increased following her decision to voluntarily step down as president in 2040, becoming the first Libirachi president to ever do so.

## History

 **Electoral History**2033 Libirachi Presidential Election • 2035 Libirachi National Congress Election • 2035 Libirachi Presidential Election • 2040 Libirachi National Congress Election

 *Libirachi: Asia's Superpower*

Born in 1993 into a middle class family in Ulaanbaatar, Karyn Voor grew up at the pinnacle of the Zuma Presidency, attending secondary school in the 2000s before attending art college in 2009 and then graduating from university in 2015 with a degree in persuasive art, leading the University of Ulaanbaatar's patriots society during her 3 years there before going on to join the Freedom Corps, a civil society of propagandists and Zuma loyalists semi-aligned with the government Ministry of Education. With the fall of President Zuma and the assent of Nathan Jackson to the presidency, Voor remained with the Freedom Corps as they were folded into the Ministry of Education in 2016, working on pieces to help the new regime where she began to show her true colours as a skilled propagandist, taking a key role in the publication of propaganda and the organisation of military parades to promote the might of the Jackson administration. Professing her loyalty to the system rather than any figurehead leader, Voor was able to survive the 2019 Libirachi Coup d'état unscathed, joining the newly formed Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR) as the leader of the propaganda division of the Ministry of Education, forming a personal friendship with the then Director General Penny Fox, going on to serve in her role during both the Has Wars and the Libirachi Civil War, producing artwork to rally the population behind their leaders and making the coronation portraits for both Empresses Fox I and Fox II in 2019 and 2024 respectively. Celebrating the first anniversary of the coronation of Penny Fox, the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda was formed as part of COMPNOR with Voor as a cabinet level member of the Damien Salamander II Cabinet, serving the nation and her empress under the presidency of Damien Salamander.

Backing the empress throughout the Wahngso Crisis of 2026, Karyn Voor continued her campaign of propaganda to the nation and used her grasp of political spin to help tout the legalisation of same-sex marriage as a success of liberalization out towards the western democracies of Europe and North America, where the Fox regime was attempting to change it's perception across the world, whilst also showing it as a sign of the liberties being granted to citizens in the aftermath of the Libirachi Civil War as a reward for their rising up against the Confederacy of Independent Nations. Likewise with the 2027 Banking Crisis crushing economies worldwide, Voor's Imperial Ministry of Propaganda set about hiding signs of the financial crash from both the public and the rest of the world, holding parades to try to show how the power of the Libirachi Empire hadn't been shaken whilst working with Avalonia and it's Väldeminister Ada Nilsen to secure raw materials for the Mars 2030 Project whilst also forging a closer working relationship between the two nations, with Nilsen and the Empress Fox forming a close personal friendship as a result of meetings arranged jointly with the IMP and the Foreign Ministry between the two leaders. As part of a new portfolio granted in 2029 in the run up to the 2030 Libirachi Presidential Election, Voor joined the Foreign Ministry and it's secretary Xiao Chen in their efforts to ingratiate the Libirachi Empire with the hostile administration of Alexander Turpin in the United States of America, leading huge ceremonies of pomp and circumstance at state visits to try and demonstrate the might of the nation whilst also highlighting the profound change that had been undertaken in the operation of the nation, at least on the surface level, as part of an effort on the behest of Penny Fox to try and shake up what had been a largely conservative nation into a socially liberal authoritarian regime as part of a drive to implement the theory of Fox's personal ideology of economical and social liberalism whilst controlled with political authoritarianism and technology aided suppression of thought, known collectively as New-Think, upon the nation and re-invigorate it with the new arms of the state. In 2031, Karyn Voor became the leader of the Imperial Directory Board, making her the de-facto leader of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order; under her tenure, Voor expanded the implementation of New-Think across the organisation.

### 2033 COMPNOR Coup

 Main article: 2033 Libirachi Coup d'état
Following the 2030 presidential election, incumbent President Damien Salamander began to motion for greater power within the government, leading to a tense power struggle between the cabinet and the imperial factions of the Fox Dynasty; with President Salamander as the head of the powerful Revolutionary party, Empress Penny Fox was politically powerless to remove Salamander from office directly. As such, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order under the leadership of Minister Karyn Voor was tasked with removing Salamander from office by the Empress Fox. From 2031 onwards, the Imperial Security Bureau and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection began to arrest and detain prominent Revolutionary members of Congress, replacing them in the legislature with COMPNOR loyalists as part of a greater move to gain control over the dominant party. On July 26, 2033, Karyn Voor issued the "Voor Proclamation" declaring the arrest of large swathes of the Revolutionary parliamentary party and their replacement with COMPNOR loyalists within the party. The following day, Imperial Security Bureau and Central Commission for Discipline Inspection agents stormed the Hall of Revolution in Beijing and arrested President Damien Salamander in his office; subsequently, congress chairman Li Zhanshu recalled the Libirachi National Congress to a special session of congress where President Salamander was formally impeached, whilst Karyn Voor was elected as president to serve the remainder of Salamander's term in office. The same evening, Voor was appointed as general secretary of the Libirachi Revolutionary Party.

## Presidency

 Main article: Presidency of Karyn Voor

 Empress

In the immediate aftermath of the 2033 coup d'état, Karyn Voor was appointed as president by Empress Penny Fox and was given free reign to appoint her cabinet; despite this freedom, Voor was constrained by the de-facto political status of the Libirachi National Congress, which forced her first cabinet to be largely comprised of former Revolutionary party officials. Becoming the General Secretary of the Revolutionary Party upon her appointment as president, Voor set about solidifying her power among the political elite by pledging to congress to retain the same structures of government as before the coup. As one of the first acts of her presidency, Karyn Voor signed into law the National Security Act of 2033 which gave the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order the legal ability to expand its influence into all branches of government, whilst extending the reach of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Imperial Intelligence, Imperial Security Bureau and the Vindicta into every corner of the nation.

In September 2033 following Voor's assumption of power only 2 months prior, the Bovido Imperium, a remnant fraction of the former Libirachi rival of Bovido Has, began their Conquest of Africa with the Invasion of Egypt, capturing the country within a matter of weeks. With Egypt having completely fallen to the forces of the Bovido Imperium, the Libirachi Empire began to bring into use the Eurasian Union of States of satellite and puppet states loyal to the Libirachi Empress Penny Fox, and sending soldiers from all of the nations to the United Arab Republic, the Federation of Ducist and Canto Haven to train up local forces to act as a defence against the Bovido expansion into the nation. Having only changed governments a few months prior due to the 2033 Libirachi Coup d'état, the Libirachi Empire found itself in a precarious place as the doctrine of New-Think began to be implemented in the months after the July coup, introducing the Central Military Commission in October 2033 to reign back in the historically autonomous armed forces of the empire, whilst the removal of Grand General Fang Torrent from the rank of Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces the same month ensured that the military found a new loyalty towards the empress. On October 2, 2033 war was declared by President Karyn Voor at 4:31pm (local time), allowing Libirachi battalions the permission to begin to attack Bovido forces under the command of Imperial High Command.

Following the outbreak of direct warfare, the Bovido Imperium launched an assault on the Persian capital city of Nuperisa, devastating the city and killing Prime Minister Emanuel Parra in the process; in retaliation for an attack on allied Persia, Karyn Voor authorised COMPNOR to conduct a targeted strike on the Bovido technological grid, throwing the Imperium into chaos as communications between members of the government collapsed on Christmas Day 2033, just prior to a coordinated assault by Persian forces on the Bovido Imperium's boarder. In order to bring the Libirachi Imperial Army completely under the control of COMPNOR, President Voor began to plot with Empress Penny Fox to conduct a complete purge of LIA leadership and replace the military "old-guard" with new loyal leaders to ensure the total subservience of the armed forces. Beginning on May 17, 2034, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Central Military Commission jointly ruled that 17 officers of the Libirachi Imperial Army had committed punishable offences, ranging from corruption to treason, and passed an order to COMPNOR to ensure that all 17 were brought before trial; tasked with rounding up the members of the military, Major General Maximilian Veers of the Vindicta conducted a wide-reaching purge of the Imperial High Command which lasted until May 25, 2033.

    In September 2034, President Karyn Voor began to motion for a replacement to the Eurasian Union of States to allow the inclusion of the African nations of Canto Haven, Ducist and the United Arab Republic as well as actively being able to coordinate the mobilisation of the allied forces in the region. With negotiations opening in the last days of the Battle of the Gibraltar Strait, the foundations of what would become the Shanghai Pact began to develop in November 2034 and on December 14th, Chairman Stanford Newman of the Eurasian Union of States issued a proclamation that the EUS would become the Shanghai Pact on January 1, 2035. Following a coup in the Bovido Imperium in 2036, President Voor led an attempt at a peace process to end the conflict and was the mastermind behind the Treaty of Beijing; despite having been agreed to by both sides, it is historically accepted that the treaty was designed in such a way to cause instability and political chaos in the Imperium. As the Bovido Imperium struggled to reconcile with the terms of the treaty, Imperator Julios Cragen declared the treaty to be "null and void", pre-empting a renewed Shanghai Pact invasion of the Bovido home state of Jerusalem. Following months of Shanghai Pact backed integration proposals, President Voor coordinated the merger of the Libirachi puppet states of Belarus and Loxenia together into the Commonwealth of Greater Ruthenia in June 2036 as part of a wider drive to expand the influence of Empress Penny Fox into legal power across the Eurasian continent. In August 2037, following Libirachi involvement in the North African Civil War, Karyn Voor was one of the signatories of the Treaty of Kampala which established the framework for the formal dissolution of the North African Federation; similarly, Voor became one of the first world leaders to meet with leaders from the Free Republic of Southern Sahara and equally one of the first leaders to formally recognise the breakaway state.

As the Libirachi invasion of Jerusalem State began to stall into stalemate, Karyn Voor ordered the opening of a new front of war in northern Africa as part of Operation Safeguard as Shanghai Pact forces under the leadership of deposed Arab leader Khalifa Haftar began a seaborne landing of the Bovido Imperium on October 1, 2037; on November 11, 2037, President Voor initiated the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda's planning division to begin crafting a celebration event to mark the 20th anniversary of the coronation of Laura Fox and the formation of the Fox Dynasty, as well as the formation of a task force to prepare celebrations for a hypothetical Libirachi victory in the war. In early March 2038, President Karyn Voor initiated the party political process for electing a new general secretary formally tendered her resignation as general secretary on March 13, 2038. In her place, foreign secretary Angelica Rivera was elected as leader of the Revolutionary party and granted the formerly defunct title of vice president at the request of President Voor. At the same time, President Voor ordered the re-opening of diplomatic negotiations with the Bovido Imperium following the toppling of Imperator Julios Cragen and his replacement with Nicholas Azure.

## Written Works

A keen propagandist and political scientist, Karyn Voor wrote many books and an assortment of essays upon the implementation and usage of propaganda within the Libirachi Empire; in addition to this, Voor was the author of a series of books about the history of the Libirachi Empire with the first book *Libirachi: Asia's Superpower* becoming required reading for students and school children across the nation, as well as becoming an international best-seller as the axis of power began to tilt towards the Libirachi Empire in the 2030s. As the Conquest of Africa continued to rage on during the early years of her presidency, Voor also wrote a sequel to her first major novel, titled *Libirachi: Bovidos and War*, which recounted nearly 140 years of Bovido-Libirachi rivalry from the beginning of the Cold War, through the Has Wars and into the Conquest of Africa.

Alongside her published works, Voor was also the author of numerous political papers including the initial draft of the Political Theory on the Act of Liberal Authoritarianism, which would go on to form the basis and standing pillars of the New-Think doctrine of thought which became Empress Penny Fox's preferred political ideology from the late 2020s onward; likewise, Voor also played a key role in the updates to the Constitution of the Libirachi Empire during the Reign of Penny Fox, enshrining the principles of the Same-Sex Relations Act of 2026 as a constitutional right, whilst also mandating the existence of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order into the nation's highest charter - later revisions conducted during her presidency ensured that COMPNOR would become an even more crucial part of the nation, placing it high above the political parties of the nation

## Personality and Traits

    As the Libirachi Empire's most skilled propagandist, Karyn Voor was renowned as a powerful leader and because known for her acute understanding of the public zeitgeist and her skill in manipulating the population of her country. A close friend to the Empress Penny Fox, Voor proved to be a capable and determined servant to the Fox Dynasty and is remembered as one of the principal architects of the new regime through her propaganda and indoctrination programmes as a founding leader of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR), making her one of the most influential and loyal members of the Fox regime, garnering both respects within the nation's borders and sympathetic nations, whilst attracting hate and disdain in the liberal democracies of the west who disparaged her brand of feminist authoritarianism as espoused by the Empress Fox. As ties between the Libirachi Empire and the west began to deteriorate, Voor's appointment to the presidency was viewed as a necessity by a regime failed by her predecessor - taking office in the 2030s, Voor's clean and precise style of leadership meant that the interests of the Empire were effectively and methodically partaken across the world as she moulded the bureaucracy of the nation into a sharp tool for wielding against enemies of the state.

Gifted with a deep understanding of the whims of the nation, Voor was a cold-hearted and brutal manager, callously leading divisions to their deaths as part of grim mental calculations which deem human life as a necessary sacrifice in order to make sure that the empire as a whole prevailed in the most effective manner. Despite showing a disregard for human life, Voor still managed to climb the greasy pole of the imperial command structure, earning a personal friendship with the Empress Fox and the loyalties of a large portion of both the Libirachi government and the wider population as a whole. As the commander in chief of the Libirachi army, Voor's remorseless calculating leadership led to a resurgence in military efficiency and in the process brought down operating costs whilst increasing the effectiveness of the armed forces. Likewise, her skill with propaganda and subversion of the subconscious allowed Empress Fox II to hijack the subconscious of the nation and instil an undying loyalty and submission into the population, advancing the indoctrination process of the Libirachi Empire to near perfection. A key architect of the formation of New-Think, Karyn Voor oversaw much of the implementation of the new ideology into the Libirachi Empire during her stint as Minister for Propaganda and then as President, allowing her almost unparalleled influence on the doctrine alongside the likes of Xiao Chen, Alexander Fowle and the Empress herself, Penny Fox.

Through her office in the presidency, Karyn Voor began to create her own brand of leadership in line with the doctrines of New-Think, carefully avoiding the mistakes of her predecessor to ensure that her style of leadership maintained continuity with other branches of leadership; espousing the same feminist social liberalism as the Empress Fox, becoming one of the first prominent bisexual and LGBT world leaders alongside Penny Fox and Avalonian leader Ada Nilsen. Highly efficient in governance, Voor's strong style of leadership became crucial during the Conquest of Africa in the months after taking power, with the effective management of COMPNOR and the Libirachi Imperial Army allowing her to largely curtail the Bovido advance eastwards in the early days of the war. Despite this, the LIA still proved to be disruptive and difficult to lead and in 2034 the Central Military Commission was established under Voor's guidance to bring the armed forces completely into the fold of the central government. Using the Conquest of Africa as an excuse to conduct a purge of army leadership in the summer of 2034, Karyn Voor successfully culled the armed forces into a completely loyal fighting force, a task not even the great leaders of the Imperial Republic of Libirachi and her immediate predecessors had been able to achieve.
