**Greta Thunberg** is a European politician who is currently serving as the Prime Minister of the European Federation. Widely known for her radical environmentalist and progressive policies, Thunberg has served 12 years as the Prime Minister, making her one of the longest serving head of government to be democratically elected in the 21st Century. Due to the length of her premiership, many nicknamed her "The Swedish Merkel", in reference to the late German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Her stances and philosophy are now referred to as Neo-Progressivism.

## Biography

Born in the state of Sweden in what is today, Nordica, Thunberg showed an undying passion for environmental protection from a young age. Starting her activism days as a school striker when she was 15, her movement ultimately gained attraction towards the end of the 2010s, with her first major spotlight coming in COP25, held in Madrid. At the time, many people believed that she's nothing more than an attention seeker, and public opinion remained divided for Thunberg.

As she stepped into her 20s, Thunberg began expressing her non-environmental side more and more, with her speeches often containing non-environmentalist sections. Like most Gen Z Europeans, Thunberg is a social democrat who believes in a welfare state and supports the regulation of most industries to some degree to prevent manipulative business practices. By the time she was 25, Thunberg officially identified herself as a progressive, and was supportive of Sweden's entry into the European Union as a constituent state.

Thunberg's first major political speech would come in 2026, after the United Kingdom announced their merge with the United States and the other Core Anglophone nations to form the Anglosphere. She criticized the Americans for their ignorant practices on not just the environment, but on foreign diplomacy, often putting themselves ahead of all others. As such, she was extremely supportive of the EU's decision to split with the Anglosphere later on in the year.

In 2029, Thunberg would join the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, often just called S&D. In the 2030 European Elections, Thunberg would secure a seat in the European Parliament, representing the Gothenburg Region. During her first term, she pushed for environmentalist reforms and the end to the usage of coal entirely. However, her rash talking, caused by her condition from autism, often got her suspended from Parliament, including one infamous occasion when she called the-then President Mario Czaja "some dishonest idiot who promises that blah blah blah". That incident nearly caused her to be kicked out of the party, but thanks to the help of the Finnish senator Sanna Marin, Thunberg escaped with a fine for the remark.

During the Russian Collapse, Thunberg was one of the main advocates for a military intervention into Russia and Belarus to minimize the refugee crisis, and her proposed "maximum liberation area" to push as far as the Archangelsk-Astrakhan Line (the line that the N-zis infamously set as the target for Operation Barbarossa" was accepted. Thunberg would also be one of the key members in charge of negotiating with China and the Anglosphere about their spheres of influence and the borders of the post-collapse Russia. With the success of the negotiations after Europe was able to seize a huge chunk of European Russia, public opinion on Thunberg increased dramatically.

Despite sharing a massive hatred of the very idea of the Anglosphere, Thunberg would befriend Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and President Alexandria Oscaio-Cortez during their respective visits to the British Isles in 2034 and 2035. In her second term as MP, she began pushing for the full legalization of recreational drug use and the use of some genetic modification in order to save lives. Her efforts would pay off eventually, as Thunberg became the Party Leader of S&D in 2037 after a tense election between her and incumbent Pedro Sanchez. The popularity of social democracy was propelled even further in early 2038, as Sanna Marin became the President of the EU, and with her rise to being the President, there isn't much stopping Thunberg to be the next Prime Minister. And to nobody's surprise, S&D took 40% of the seats, and was able to secure a coalition rather easily. At the age of 35, Thunberg became the third Prime Minister of Europe.

Her first term was marked by radical changes to the environmental policy of the nation, as she pushed for solar and wind panels, while accelerating research on a sustainable fusion energy. Her Premiership also saw the loosening of Europe's grip on their Russian states, which while they were independent by name, were more like N-zi Reichkommisariats than actual countries, as Thunberg claimed. She also emphasized the importance of protecting the planet from global warming, and although she didn't ban air-conditioning and any major sources of greenhouse gases outright, Thunberg ensured that Europeans will be discouraged from using them. On the more geopolitical side, Thunberg completed the process of admitting Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria to the EU State itself, but she became reluctant in admitting both the Russian Republic and Ukraine into the union due to worries of stability.

During Thunberg's Premiership, Europe's foreign diplomacy focused on placing the global interests at large over the interests of Europe. While she admitted that it is human nature to place themselves ahead of others when it comes to major decisions, she believes that if every nation just do what they want without caring about others, the world will be finished. She was critical against Ron DeSantis' Americanist policies but was the first to mourn his assassination after being tapped awake in the middle of the night. During Jon Ossoff's Premiership, Thunberg would attempt to work with the Anglosphere to sort out trade and cooperation treaties, resulting in the EU normalizing relations with the Anglosphere in 2045, and ultimately led to the Euro-American Hyperlink Project, a plan to connect London (later Paris) to New York by train. Thunberg remained highly critical of China across her premiership and called out China's authoritarianism and their near-genocidal tendencies against ethnic minorities.

Ironically, despite her openly pro-childcare stance and her advocacy for completely legalizing abortion across Europe, Thunberg never married or had any children, leading to her detractors calling her "Virgin Greta". Thunberg would be elected 3 consecutive times, mainly due to her loyal followers and supporters calling her a revolutionary and the new Lenin of Europe, though she played down the comparisons, once telling the Associated Press in 2045: "I'm not a heroine or a Lenin; I'm just the daughter of a singer who cares about what's right." Her policies have ultimately led to historians branding her philosophy as Neo-Progressivism. As of 2050, she is seeking for a 4th term as the Prime Minister, although she is now being challenged by the European Conservative Union, led by Josef Markowitz. It is unknown how long does she want to be the Prime Minister, although reports claim that she plans to step down after a 5th term if possible.
