Under the military regime and the subsequent Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, Marine Le Pen served a prison sentence for treason until being released by President Sunil Bakshi in February 2029 following the formation of the Republic of Morra.

## History

Marion Anne Perrine Le Pen was born on 5 August 1968 in Neuilly-sur-Seine as the youngest of three daughters of Jean-Marie Le Pen, a Breton politician and former paratrooper. In 1976, when Marine was eight, a bomb meant for her father exploded in the stairwell outside the family's apartment as they slept. The blast ripped a hole in the outside wall of the building, but Marine, her two older sisters and their parents were unharmed. Le Pen studied law at Panthéon-Assas University, graduating with a Master of Laws in 1991 and a Master of Advanced Studies (DEA) in criminal law in 1992. Registered at the Paris bar association, she worked as a lawyer for six years (1992–1998), appearing regularly before the criminal chamber of the 23rd district court of Paris which judges immediate appearances, and often acting as a public defender. She was a member of the Paris Bar until 1998, when she joined the legal department of the Democratic Party.

In 2016, Le Pen quit the Democratic party to join the National Alliance organisation led by Jean Luc Melenchon, a pro-independence campaigner for the region of Morra.

## Vice Presidency

 President

Following the 2023 presidential election, Marine Le Pen was inaugurated as vice president on January 20, 2023, minutes prior to the inauguration of Jean Luc Melenchon as president. As the first democratically elected government of the newly independent Transitional State of Dunsteen, the Melenchon administration quickly set about implementing a radical policy programme to rebuild the Morranian region following it's independence from the Republic of Dunsteen. In February 2023, a new constitution was ratified and a new legislative assembly was planned to open the following year. One of the key policy pledges of the Melenchon administration was the systematic expulsion of EuroCorp and it's affiliates from the state, with former president Werner Reinheart and former vice president Sunil Bakshi both deported in March 2023 under the auspices of the new constitution, which proscribed the existence of EuroCorp within the nation. In August 2023, President Melenchon attempted to withdraw the Transitional State of Dunsteen from its alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Nations, following international condemnation of the Confederacy's attack on the Republic of Dunsteen earlier the same month. In response, the Confederacy began funnelling millions of dollars into funding EuroCorp backed independent politicians to oppose the government, seeking to destabilise and topple the Melenchon administration. Despite this, the Transitional State successfully managed to break ties with the Confederate government in October 2023, and began to seek entry into the United Nations under the name of "The Netherlands", the Morranian region's name during it's administration by the Republic of Dunsteen; ultimately, this attempt failed after the Fox Dynasty, United Kingdom, and United States all exercised their veto rights to reject the admission on the grounds of preserving territorial integrity.

On August 17, 2023, the armed forces launched a coup d'état against President Jean Luc Melenchon, with the intention of forcing him to resign from office. However, following Melenchon's repeated refusal to resign from the presidency, the armed forced resorted to bombing the presidential palace, killing Melenchon and several senior members of his administration.

In September 2024, the junta transferred government power back to Werner Reinheart, effectively ending the transitional state.
