## Early Life

Jozef Steinmeier was born to the owners of a small family fishnet making business in 1915, his family was poor and Catholic. Jozef was very vocal in denouncing the supposed humiliation of having to be born poor in Gottheim. Jozef found his place at the age of 16 as a rear guard auxiliary policeman responsible for combating partisan warfare under Vernon Manderov.

Jozef reportedly intensely enjoyed this job, and was said to have tortured three suspected communists via the method of fingernail prying during his career. Jozef regularly attended church and gave money to members of his local community, supporting them wherever he could during the great depression. Jozef was married at the age of 17, normal for early 20th century Gottheim. He married a peasant girl called Yulia vertzenshenko which upset his parents who wanted Jozef to marry a wealthy woman.

Jozef continued his job and was promoted rapidly reportedly due to his good work ethic and comradery he brought to the offices in which he worked. Jozef was especially admired by the governor of Gottheim who deployed Jozef on missions to combat guerrillas in Chaprasz. He became especially well known for his use of local militias to capture Jeno Andrasstein a prominent Communist of Hungarian descent.

Jozef was also deployed to assist in the occupation of France, but had barely gotten there before he was fired by the new democratic government set up by the allies for fighting against them. He later returned to UAS and rejoined the armed forces again this time volunteering to fight against Nazi Germany. Steinmeier's supporters often point to this event as evidence that he was not a fascist or a Nazi collaborator but merely a Patriotic opportunist. Steinmeier fought as a part of the American army in North Africa where he was given awards for bravery and long suffering.

## Life in the Militia

Steinmeier later returned to UAS in 1945 and volunteered to be a member of the militia. In 1950 he assisted in the coup which overthrew Iren Uera, Steinmeier put himself forward as a candidate to lead the country. But a more popular choice was Howard kuslauskus who had previously been able to supply the military with funds through his extortion business and was chosen under the condition that he would do whatever the military said. Steinmeier had wanted to negotiate a settlement with his compatriots which made them view him as unreliable and too independent to be seriously considered. Howard soon afterwards attempted to kill Steinmeier to unseat Howard from the position of president.

Steinmeier survived and proceeded to attempt to assassinate Howard by putting polonium in his coffee. This attempt failed as Howard had a Jamaican who he secretly paid to drink his coffee for the very purpose of preventing poisoning. Howard never found out who had tried to poison him.

Howard did not try to assassinate Steinmeier again as he was told by General avazshy krazhinvort that he would remove Howard from power if he did not stop interfering with military affairs.

Howard was soon toppled and a new republic was established. Steinmeier was appointed as the head representative of the military to the labor council where he successfully secured funds for the military and assisted in growing the arms industry under Jan Warren and was seen as a good option for successor. He was beaten at the primaries by a moderate candidate who was believed to have wider appeal in the country. During the Civil War Steinmeier replaced the old and ailing Avazshy as general of the army after his resignation and received much of the credit for conquering and consolidating the provisional government with harsh tactics.

## Political career and Presidency

Steinmeier quickly became a favorite of the Conservative Republican party but lost yet again when John Galt exploited a popular desire for an urban planner to lead Reconstruction.

Jozef was easily elected in 1980 to a now unelectable John, and immediately laid out economic and military plans. His economic plan appeared to be a continuation of Jan Warren's industrial growth plan. His military plan involved making UAS a global power by appealing to discontent with the USA, USSR and non-aligned movement. He forged very strong relationships with Suharto's Indonesia over military agreements to fight communism together, and thereafter began to support India against Pakistan in order to turn it away from Soviet influence and provide the UAS with a source of cheap food imports. Steinmeier also assisted in giving military aid to countries which the USA had refused to despite being anticommunist for instance Sudan and North Yemen. Steinmeier also gave money to rebels fighting Hissine Habre and Siaad Baare both of which were backed by the US.

## Joint US and Soviet espionage plot

The US had historically had serious conflicts with UAS but had never had a need to spy on it through the means of espionage as it had been weak enough that it could simply pull strings within its borders or militarily force UAS to do what it wanted, however at this point A war with the UAS would have been costly enough to warrant fears of another Vietnam and so began to overtly oppose Steinmeier, and relations soured owing to steinmeiers displacement of US diplomatic credit worldwide, and steinmeiers attempts to turn allies against it in addition to their historical rivalry owing to the US support of Britain during occupation and colonization on top of its individualistic liberal consumerist culture which diverged from the conservative collectivist restrained culture of the UAS. The Soviet Union had been a long time enemy of the UAS due to its support for the OUN and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and also a belief that the others ideology was a serious threat.

The UAS corporatist and technocratic policies were deemed extremely dangerous as they were elitist and unfair, while the USSR was deemed dangerous due to its record of brutality towards the countries from whom people from the UAS had initially migrated, many in the UAS were in fact descended from those who had fled population transfers and reprisals in the 1940s and the USSR believed the sons of these people might have sought vengeance. The USSR also alienated the UAS because of its state atheism, while the UAS was deeply religious, because of these diverging cultural, political and economic differences the UAS often supported anticommunist groups and leaders worldwide.

The last straw for both the USA and USSR was Jozef Steinmeier's announcement that he had plans to create an Atomic Weapon in november 1983. This led to the only joint espionage venture between the USSR and USA since ww2. The USSR and USA were caught in 1985 attempting to disrupt the deployment of a nuclear weapon by stealing its Uranium core. The 9 spies involved, 6 American, 3 Soviet, were publicly executed by hanging in 1987 after 2 years of trial. Steinmeiers foreign policy made him unpopular domestically with technocrats who turned out en masse to the next election and forced him to leave office. He remained popular with most in society due to his success in partially replicating the growth seen under Jan Warren. Jozef Steinmeier is today a moderately popular president but is dwarfed by Eva bronauski and Jan Warren. Jozef steinmeiers administration's popularity was reduced when in 2004 human rights abuses committed by his son in West papua were found to have covered up.
