## Early Life

Angela Zamora was born to a middle-class family in Athens, Greece. Over the course of her childhood, she would engage in political activism across her city, aiding the campaigns of various Greek officials and forming numerous charities to preserve the Greek culture and aid the less fortunate in Greece. At a young age, she would be recognized as a heroine across her state and would be very popular as a public figure. At age 15 her mother and farther were killed while leaving the movies. She was orphaned for several days until she met incumbent President Razdan Tanaka who was visiting Greece at the time. She managed to slip by secret service and approached him. The two of them began a conversation and by the end he had invited her back to the White House to discuss the issues facing Athens.

### Adoption by the President

Eventually President Tanaka offered to adopt her and raise her as a political apprentice. Happily agreeing she would live in the White House the remainder of his term.

## Entry into politics

Zamora decided not to go to college following her high school graduation, and instead ran a campaign against incumbent Athenian Mayor Callias Fitzroy, stating that over the course of his 10 year tenure as Mayor of Athens, he has done less than Zamora's charity work as a minor. This campaign would prove to be successful, as Zamora would win 61% of the vote, thus making her the youngest Athenian Mayor in history to date.

## Mayor of Athens

As Mayor, Zamora would form two institutions that would have Athenians pay money to in exchange for receiving a larger return afterwards: One to preserve Athenian history and one to aid the less fortunate in Athens. At first, the institutions were largely effective at their respective tasks. Towards the end of Zamora's first term as Mayor, however, Athens's debt would begin to climb and the city would have to divert funding away from other crucial aspects of city life. This would be noticed by Zamora's opponent in the Mayoral election of 2335, Margaret Retur, who said that if she unseated Zamora, she would reverse her programs. Despite the fact that Zamora won re-election with 56% of the vote, Retur's predictions would begin to show in Zamora's second term. The amount of time Athens needed to pay back the investors of the programs increased, and new investors would largely be hesitant to provide Athens with more money. By the end of Zamora's second Mayoral term, Athens's debt would be excessively high and many economic experts predicted that the city would not be able to pay it off.

## House of Representatives

Because of this, Zamora developed a plan that would aid Athens in paying for her programs, and would run for the US House of Representatives with this program in 2334.

In her campaign, Zamora would advocate for a new system of spending that both upheld the United States of Earth whilst also respecting the various regions across the globe. Her system would allow states and municipalities to apply for domestic funding from the federal government to aid in projects that would help the entity in question's respective people. The federal government would, in turn, cease all domestic funding and only directly maintain the military and technological advancements. This unique plan, accompanied by Zamora's track record of reform and humanitarian work, would see her win the seat with 60% of the vote.

In Congress, Zamora would successfully pass her plan, thus reforming the manner in which the United States spends its money. With this plan, the United States began to experience new economic growth, which would increase Zamora's popularity and see her become Chair of the House Budget Committee. There were calls for Zamora to become Leader of the House of Representatives, yet Zamora possessed no interest in this position. In 2340, however, Zamora would accept calls for her to run for President, with individuals claiming that she's the only one who possesses the leadership qualities Earth needs. She would easily win this Presidential election, thus seeing the commencement of her Presidency.

## Presidency (2341-2345)

As President, Zamora would uphold the systems she created as a Congresswoman and would largely act as a conservative for both her system and the USE. Additionally, she would reduce military funding, claiming that there were no threats to the USE, and thus there was no reason to waste money on arms during the Pax Terra. Zamora would be largely popular as President, yet would ultimately decide only to serve one term, saying that she's done her work in the federal government and that it was now time for her to focus on local efforts. With that, Zamora left office with an 89% approval rating.

## Governor of Greece

In the Greek Gubernatorial election of 2345, Zamora would run unopposed. As Governor, she would form an agreement with the New Roman Empire that would see both states work to preserve Western artifacts. They quickly received a large amount of funding for their program and would work to see it succeed. Additionally, Zamora would instate a similar spending program to the federal government's in Greece, which would allow both municipalities and private citizens to apply for federal funding to fund a particular entity or movement, whilst not having the state fund anything. These policies would generate large economic growth in Greece. After two terms, Zamora would step down as Governor, claiming that she did not want to serve for an excessive period of time.

After leaving office Angela Zamora has written several books and has begin her own music label.
