## Social Information

### Family Relations

One of the three children of well known former Adorian politician Krysis, Attica Barres is a direct inheritor to the claimancy of the defunct Adorian monarchy from the de Szani line, although he has since rescinded until further notice these claims in accordance with modern Adorian law. Of all the children of Krysis, Barres has established the largest branch of the family, with 6 generations of the Barres de Szani line residing within Adoria. Of his four children, Sanders, Nero Hero, Birdo and Frederik Gyldenløve, the last of whom’s current state is unknown as of early 2022, Birdo was up until recently the only child of whom had extended the family, contributing to all the expansion of the family name beyond the first generation. This situation has recently developed with Sanders having developed his own cohort of new De Szanis.

### Social Spheres

Being a pragmatist at heart, Attica has entered and left many groups within Adoria in his time. His longest standing connections however have been to the Gyldenløve family, of whom he shares familial relations to in the form of SoleSol, whom he was married to for a time before a divorce, after which he remarried with Otto Von Oldrich, one of Attica’s Grandsons, and Last Celebration, of whom is a former Gyldenløve that was adopted by Otto and SoleSol, and who married with Alex HasDiscord. Barres is also close with the numbered members of his former political endeavours, with notable mentions being Massinissa, who served in Beyond Adoria and has been a close associate ever since, Johannes, former leader of the New Democrats and the Liberty Union and close friend since the times when Attica was a member of the former. It was that friendship in fact that was a contributing factor to the initial talks of a merger between BA and the ND which led to the eventual creation of the Liberal Democratic Party. Another who he is longtime friends with Is Daniel Sinatra, of whom created Adoria Forward!/League of Adorian Democrats which was the final catalyst that moved Attica to form Beyond Adoria in the first place, and later on helped in forming the Technocratic Party of Adoria.

# Political History

## Old Adoria / **4th Adorian Republic**

### Immigration into Adoria

During the July of 2020 [Original Date Unknown], Attica Barres [Known Informally as Abra Citrates] arrived in the territory of the 4th Adorian Republic, upon his own accord due to interest in political involvement but lack of capability to interact in such.

After joining the new immigrant would spend the next few months in political silence, informing himself upon the current political landscape in Adoria before beginning his rise to the mainstream.

### Entrance into Temperan Politics

Attica would become a citizen of Tempera soon after his entrance, however it would be nearly 3 months before he decided to run for the governorship on the 30th September 2020. Going up against Zeppa he would find little success, however his perseverance never once wavered.

Running on the 12th of October and 1st of November he slowly gained a foothold in the province. It is logical to assume his tactics, mixed with the statement of exfiltration of Zeppa from Temperan politics that Attica would have come out victorious had the Nuke on the 12th of November 2020 not occurred.

### Independent Republican Party

Around the time he joined officially into Adorian Politics, Attica was disheartened by the lack of any party he was truly invested in, and thus began the foundations of what would become nearly half a year later Beyond Adoria, dubbing it at the time the “Progress Party of Adoria”.

After less than inviting conversations about the possibility of forming the PPA, Attica was nearly about to give up on any ambitions to form any party when he was approached in casual conversation by Knox Sora about his [Knox’s] party idea. This party, what would for a time be known as the Independent Republican Party until its refocus on the left.

Enticed, Attica helped Knox create the IRP’s manifesto, and was upon its formation its Party Whip. This would have been his true party had the Nuke not occurred. Alas, most was dashed upon its happening.

## Alexdoria / “5th” Republic of Adoria / **Republic of Adoria**

### Immediate Ramifications of Nuke

After the what is now being referred to as the “Sierricane” in official documentation but better known by the greater population as the Sierpinin nuke or more simply just the “Nuke”, Knox invited Attica to the hastily organised Republic of Adoria owned by Alexauditorea, and let him take his time to readjust and get his bearings.

The Nuke was greatly damaging to the mental state of Attica, due to losing all he had worked for, and the celebration of it annoyed him further. He, due to not realising that the United Socialist Party was just an evolution of the IRP, left the party for good.

It would be over 2 months before his true return to Adorian Politics once more.

### Interim Time

During the two month interim between his arrival in the new Republic and his candidacy for Governor of Aklanos, Attica was busy making his personal matters assorted correctly. The year had been tough on him, and after the devastation of the Nuke he needed some true personal time to reflect and regain his confidence.

### Election to 1st Governor of Aklanos

In early January 2021 Attica had finally gotten his affairs in order, and was ready to return to the political scene. Given the lack of any significant competition in Aklanos and his experience in political affairs at the time Attica began his campaign. Choosing LastCelebration as his Lt. Governor candidate, Attica went on to win by a large margin, not the least due to him being the only candidate to properly campaign.

His Governorship was transferred to the 5th Adorian Republic upon its creation, thus the story continues there.

### Emigration from the Republic

After around a month it was clear that the Republic of Adoria was crumbling. With the exile of Matthew V and other political heavyweights it was seen that the nation was dying. Thusly on the 15th of December 2020, Attica left for the greener pastures of the Adorian State, later to be known as the 5th Adorian Republic.

## Szanidoria / **Empire of Adoria**

### Immigration to the Empire

During the immigration period Attica was partially unsure where to move to, as the Empire of Adoria, better known as “Szanidoria”, had formed a few weeks earlier. Thusly, under the alias of Ar. Tetrabasic [a name he would one day discover also belonging to Aklanos Spirits player Arien Tetrabasic], he joined and quickly became what one would call a friend of Szani. It was also during this time he attempted to become a descendant of the Emperor. This would end up failing, mostly due to the Emperor’s lack of interest rather than outright denial.

### Emigration

Seeing the uninteresting nature of the Empire and the quickly developing 5th Republic, Attica said what few goodbyes he needed, and emigrated fully to the Republic.

## Mattdoria / Adorian State / **5th Adorian Republic**

### Initial Governorship

After his immigration into the 5th Republic (known at the time as Adoria 2.0), Attica was reinstated as the Governor of Aklanos fitting the results of the 1st Gubernatorial Elections. He began immediately on the creation of a system to better manage the Province. This system, to be named the “Aklanos Government Organisation Act 2020”, would create the first official “Provincial Legislative Section” in Adoria, and was received well by Aklanossians.

Soon after he had taken a hiatus due to personal issues, with members of the province calling for a snap election, resulting in a bill being proposed to hold such, however it was taken back due to the unconstitutionality of the bill within the powers of the governorship. As a last bill Attica passed the “People’s Bill Submission Act 2020” to give the people the uncommonly used ability to propose bills without being in the government.

Attica had ended his term with a statement that he would not run in further elections for at least until the 3rd due to the personal issues leading to the snap election bill. In the 2nd Gubernatorial Elections DJNightingale would be the victor, serving his term well.

#### Bills:

- *Aklanos Government Organisation Act 2020*

- ~~*Aklanossian Special Election Act 2020*~~

- *People’s Bill Submission Act 2020*

### Pre-AWP Interim

After his term Attica was very quiet, mostly being inactive during this time due to the personal issues that led to his stepping down.

At the 3rd and 4th Gubernatorials Attica kept his promise of running, and was doing so on the 5th as well, however Joe Rogan, alongside his AWP compatriots made an overwhelmingly successful campaign due to sheer numbers. This would lead to the events following that led to Attica’s true rise to publicity.

### Roganite Administration

After his new instatement as Governor, Rogan and his Lt. Marc Zucc would instate a number of bills, chief of which in terms of controversy being the Capital Flight Act. Attica initially cooperated, however swiftly became disillusioned with the government and began planning a counter campaign in secret. This was to become the most important elections in terms of deciding the fate of the province.

#### Bills:

*- ~~Clean Water Act~~*

~~- *Aklanos Electric Act*~~

*~~- Aklanossian Rail Infrastructure Act [Written By Attica]~~*

*- ~~Aklanos Health Service Act~~*

*~~- People’s Court Act [Amended once]~~*

*~~- Capital Flight Act [Amended once]~~*

*~~- Fishery Conservative & Management Act~~*

*~~- City Roads Act~~*

*~~- Working People’s Act [Amended once]~~*

*~~- Small Business Act~~*

*~~- Striking Act~~*

*~~- Working Peoples Guarantee of Livelihood Amendment~~*

### 5th Gubernatorial Elections

This was the most built up election in Aklanossian history, being a confrontation to decide who really controlled the province. Attica himself had acquired a team of allies from which to help launch his campaign. Upon seeing that Thomas Sevon, then known as thomas174, was campaigning, and seeing an opportunity to unite the ballot further, he made a unified ballot with Sevon, against those of LucaOrangedude and Rogan.

The adrenaline was rushing throughout, with multiple claims against Thomas’ capacity to govern given his lack of activity. Undeterred, Attica made a series of campaign appearances, encouraging the people to vote for what was right, and to thus vote for them.

In the middle of the elections however, right before results, Joe was expelled from Adorian politics due to issues of sleeper agents [alting]. This left the election down to the Thomas/Attica ballot and Luca, but by then, the election was already called.

Thomas and Attica won by a landslide of 70.6%, almost as much a numerical victory as Joe had made just two weeks prior.

### Sevonan Administration

After their victory, Attica and Thomas went hard to work curing the ailments that Aklanos had contracted during the term of Joe Rogan. The first to have been done was the “Aklanos Judicial Act 2021”, remedying the problematic People’s Court Act, of which had not been properly used whatsoever during the Roganite Administration.

The next act was the most important act to be passed, that being the “Roganite Bill Repeal and Replacement Act 2021”, of which overturned almost all bills posted by the previous governorship, due to Section II, Clause 3a of the Aklanos Government Organisation Act (unamended version). It then replaced most of the 11 with new versions of which had been discussed with the current Legislative section. The main part of the bill was of course the repeal of the Capital Flight Act, thusly removing the economic roadblock that Aklanos had been stuck behind.

The last important act during the Sevonan Administration was the “Aklanos Government Organisation Act Amendment”, which majorly overhauled the old system for the province, establishing as a byproduct the Aklanos Provincial Government server, allowing citizens to participate in a more official manner. Currently one fifth of the province’s members.

For the rest of the state’s existence following his term in governorship, Thomas would be the head of the Supreme Court of Aklanos, keeping the government in check and preventing more illegal laws like this that happened under Joe Rogan.

#### Bills

- *Aklanos Judicial Act 2021*

- *Roganite Bill Repeal and Replacement Act 2021*

- *Aklanos Government Organisation Act Amendment*

### Beyond Adoria Formation

In the proceeds of the 44th General Elections and the declaration that Johannes would be taking a step back to potentially form the Liberty Union, Attica gathered 6 friends of his he had attained, and established a manifesto, declaring that progress would never be exempt from Adoria again, and that compromise was to be of great import. This declaration was of course in reference to Beyond Adoria.

The party was extremely slow to grow, with it almost falling below the threshold multiple times before the election, however it was to be managed that they reached the 45th Elections without too many hitches.

### 45th General Elections

This was to be the “final straw” as it were in the old intervention-free election system, given multiple claims of bussed in voting by both the ARP and the slowly descending AWP, resulting in a highly imbalanced National Assembly with the ARP having 27 seats, a record in the 5th Republic (and 4th highest overall). This was contrasted with the 0 seats of the New Democrats, an even more unforeseen event given their previous “kingmaker” status in the republic during this period.

For Beyond Adoria, the power of the right had led to minimal gains in general, with 3.54% of the popular vote, resulting in no seats whatsoever, joining the New Democrats in the extra-parliamentary area of the assembly.

### 6th Gubernatorial Elections

After the calm down proceeding from the initial major successes of the Sevonan Administration, Attica decided to run once more for governor. Most political observers predicted his landslide victory from a mile away, however rival candidate and soon to be notorious Antarctic Expedition Head Riccardo Ferola led the elections to a deadlock in the first round, and proceeded to just beat out Attica in the second, taking 56.3% of the vote.

This loss, combined with the failure of BA in the 45th General Elections, left him stunted for a time, until Riccardo, even though he chose Charger to be his Lt. during the campaign trail, proceeded to appoint Attica to his current position in the Aklanos Provincial Government, the 6th Lieutenant Governor of Aklanos. This was to become the first of many terms as the so called “Shadow Governor” of Aklanos, serving a full six terms under six Governors.

### Ferolan Administration

During this term things in Aklanos began to slow down, with the only bill made passage being the Aklanossian Holiday Act, giving official holidays to the province. Most of the term was also in the purview of Ferola’s muckings in the Antarctic Expedition, and as such cooperation was not sufficient to achieve much of note.

### 46th General Elections

The 46th Elections were the beginning of both the turning of the luck of the party yet also began its widely known streak of being a “political prostitute” according to local and some abroad political observers. This election, the first with the new system in place was most certainly in favour of the left parties, as they were already somewhat prepared for the change, whilst parties like the ARP struggled.

Beyond Adoria itself was the one of the highest, scoring 8 seats for itself, still its maximum record it has achieved over the elections. What it would do with these seats and the legitimacy gained would mark a dark time for the party, shrouded in controversy and chaos.

### 7th Gubernatorial Elections

The 8th Gubernatorials were eerily similar to that of the previous one, in which Tyrion Alexander, an up and coming ARP member in Aklanos had barely beaten out Attica in the primaries and defeated him conclusively in the 2nd round. This was to be one of the most uneventful terms, with very little being accomplished.

### 46A Government

To be soon known as both the most short and controversial coalition in recent memory, the 46th Government was by all accounts initially to be seen as the left flexing their new power, showing how they can now consistently dominate the political landscape. How wrong they would find themselves...

#### 41st Minister of Education, Culture & Media

Attica, of whom had appointed himself the 41st MoE,C&M, had large and expansive plans for the educational system, and as such had made a very large bill for that purpose. However when it went to the floor there were wave after wave of grievances on the design, effectiveness and the usefulness of certain aspects. Thusly he retracted the bill, and began to work on a new bill for education.

The majority of his new Education Committee were that of those who had disagreed with him on the progress declaration, hoping that would push progress. After a time he gave mostly up on the project for the time being, and decided that it would be better to refine it over a far greater period of time.

##### Bills

*— ~~Education Progress Declaration~~* (retracted before vote finish)

#### 46B Government

After a few days Llama, later to be known as Frederick Gyldenløve, alongside other discontentees, created a Vote of No Confidence in the current government, without official permission from Attica, leader of BA at the time. This caused a great deal of controversy, ruining a significant part of BA’s reputation, with many calling them political prostitutes as they saw BA jump into the next government. This 47th Government would be successful in some of its goals, with others left unfulfilled for various reasons.

### Tyrionite Administration

This was to be the first of two very inactive terms with no progress made on anything at all, although discussion was made consistently. It was a more disappointing term than most, saddening Attica at both the Governor’s lack of forward action and his own stalled progress.

### Itasca Terrab

A friend that Attica had made over his time was Itasca Terrab, an entrepreneurial reporter working small time at The Proletariat News Station. He periodically releases occasional articles on things, however his punctuality leaves much to be desired. He aligns with Beyond Adoria and progressivism as a whole.

### 47th General Elections

This wasn’t exactly the most successful election by any means for Beyond, as both BeyondCon Mini as well as the only half decent campaign left them with little squeeze room. However due to some other parts they had just enough seats to entice the left to put them on the coalition for a very controversial term.

#### BeyondCon Mini Fiasco

BeyondCon was originally intended as a convention on the level of the now gone Green Party Conventions of old, hosted on the BA server. However given the fact that Attica was unable to attend, Llama decided to host a mini version on the main server, without Attica’s approval/disapproval. This went horrifically, scarring the party’s reputation for many weeks and almost causing its dissolution. They held on only to the hope that they could “weather the storm”, as it were.

### 8th Gubernatorial Elections

These elections went on mostly the same line as the Tyrionite and Ferolan Administrations had in coming to power, with the first round of close choice and the second round being a more and more decisive victory each time.

### Glazeerian Administration

There were two bills made here, that of which being the recall act, an early impeachment bill that fell through and was repealed due to legalities. The second was the construction of the Áklanos and Vástos Airports, linking the province to the rest of the nation and world in a far greater span than it did originally.

#### Bills

- *~~Recall act of Aklanos~~*

- *Airport Establishment Act — Áklanos + Vástos*

## Mattdoria / **1st Adorian Federation**

### 23rd Presidential Elections

#### The Barres Candidacy — Looking To The Past To Prepare For The Future

##### Endorsements

— Kortographer

— Daniel

— United Centrists of Adoria

— Sons of Liberty

— National Unity Front

### Formation of The Technocratic Party of Adoria

Having spent roughly three months under the Liberal Democratic Party, Attica had become tired of the monotony, and wished to commence what he called at the time an “experiment”. This would turn into the nation’s first technocratic party, although considered less intense than what was espoused by groups such as the United States Technocracy Incorporated, being the original group to create the ideology. It would last a handful of elections before going defunct due to inactivity.

### 1st Greater Synarossian Elections

The unification of the peninsula was a great event having followed the previous merging of Maritania and Synaro, and this silently had fed into Attica’s plans of making the states of the now “Greater Synaro” one and unified in a way superior to the rest of Adoria. Now campaigning under the banner of the Technocratic Party, his goals of expanding state infrastructure and joining Synaro together into an economy to surpass the entire rest of the nation at once enticed many voters to his side, leading to a successful victory here.

### Governor Barres - Synarossian Edition

Upon his election to the position of governor it would take most of the term before beginning to institute his plan, being that of infrastructure. It would begin with Stages I and II, focusing on the roads of the state, building numerous more and upgrading others, making the state’s main roadways all highways. He did not have enough time to work on new projects during that term and thusly because of such, planned to do so during the next term.

### 2nd Greater Synarossian Elections

Having done more policies that actually were to benefit the state than any previous governor in months it was only natural that the “Peninsular Governor” would win his second term. Hence he did, promising onto the people many things including new railways, new airports, new metro systems and more. These would easily win over the people even more than they already had been, however sadly they would not get what they wanted due to Attica’s complacency during this time. Thusly on the 1st of January of the new year of 2022 he announced his resignation as he had failed to uphold his promises.

### Hiatus Once More

This resignation, as well as the defuncting of the TPA would lead to Attica going on yet another hiatus, although for a less morbid reason than the last time, simply having been tired of Adoria and not having done what he wished he could due to his own faults. Thusly he went on a time of inner contemplation, finding himself in the chaos and figuring out his life. This would last for the majority of January until he decided to re-emerge as a candidate for the 4th elections of the Synarossian Peninsula.

### 4th Greater Synarossian Elections

These would be one of the most odd elections ever seen in a state, with five candidates and four tying leading to a second round with four candidates, something practically unheard of until then. However in the second round the addition of the now no longer running 5th candidate’s effective support and more voters led to a 3 way tie for second and Attica pushing forth as the winner of these most odd of elections, promising to this time appease himself and make the people prosper for real this time.

### The Peninsular Governor Part III

Now a governor once more, Attica would begin to show properly his capacity to do wonders, immediately initiating competitions for railway lines that would result in the entire peninsula becoming high speed. Not a week later he would institute the competitions for new ports and upgrading of old ones to make Synaro truly Greater than it’s previous self and finally living up to his title of the “Peninsular Governor”. Saving the remaining budget for his next term which would consist of new airports, Barres had discovered in an opinion poll that he was extremely liked by the people now for his swift and effective efforts.

# Economic History

## Astriol Incorporated

### Founding

At the time of Astriol Inc.'s founding, there was no other airline in the nation and Attica, who at this point was beginning to get back into the swing of politics following the founding of Beyond Adoria, elected that he would fill that hole in the industry and thusly filed for the creation of the corporation, with him as the initial sole shareholder and the Chief Executive Officer of Astriol and it's sole subsector, Astriol Airlines. It would be two months before the first executive positions were hired.

### Initial Setup

For the first month or so Astriol was run entirely by Attica, with the company making steady progress into mainstream recognition, and offices being constructed around each of the nations slowly growing number of airports. Little would change in terms of the structure of the company however, aside from the eventual creation of a dedicated server for intra-company communicades. This would become helpful in future when staff needed to coordinate actions and prevent most rogue statements by executives.

### Merger under Gyldenløve Group

It was around this time that the Gyldenløve Consultancy had made it's debut and, given Attica and Gyldenløve were close friends for a good time before this point, as well as the boons of being connected having been laid out, Astriol Incorporated was moved under the swiftly expanding roof of the Gyldenløve Group. It would last for a time before the group was dismantled due to reasons rumoured to be related to monopolising multiple markets of the nation.

### New Hires

Over the span of two weeks the high ranking positions of the newly reorganised company were filled, from May 5th - 11th 2021. These persons would help expand the reach and strength of Astriol, and more specifically Astriol Airlines. These would also be the only new hires in Astriol’s executive division for 8 months, seeing as no moves were made to hire further members of high ranking staff.

#### COO

While not the first hire by one day, Last Celebration being instated as the Chief Operations Officer was a crucial move in ensuring the stability of the internals within the company, and keeping employees from jeopardising any progress made. He would become a close confidant of the CEO, and it was cooperations like this and their initial work as the first Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Aklanos that would eventually lead to their extremely successful campaign for the presidency three months later.

#### CAO

The official first hire of the company was the late Riccardo Ferola as the Chief Aviation Officer, who oversaw the purchase of a number of planes to expand the fleet and capabilities of the company. After the reshuffling and reforms of the company in January his wife, Svetlana Ferola, would take up her husband’s post and oversee more and greater expansions to the fleet that would help the corporation make it’s mark on the nation.

#### CPRO

The last hire to date by Astriol Airlines was James Arthur as the Chief Public Relations Officer. He has had a shaky track record in terms of performance however is dedicated to the company and had as such remained in his position, albeit in a more background role, until his apparent resignation at the end of June the same year. It would be seven months before his successor was hired to the position.

### Astriol: Personal Flight

An idea proposed not long before the Gyldenløve Group's untimely dismantling, Astriol: Personal Flight was intended to be a private flying sector of the company. Following the dismantling of excess subsidiaries of many companies, this sector was planned to be incorporated as a service for Astriol Airlines. At present it has not been provided however the plans are in place for it to occur in time, within the year of 2022.

### Astriol: Cargo

Yet another idea proposed during the corporation’s time as a member company under the Gyldenløve Group, this was actually successfully implemented, and successively set into Astriol Airlines’ list of services. At present it is not a significant sector however proposals have been made to expand the cargo fleet.

### Under Orion

For the time before the Gyldenløve Group fell apart Astriol was under the head of Orion, a large company owned by Daniel Index, which also had needed to specialise it's services following the amending of subsidiaries within the nation. Such also at one time joined the Star Alliance of airlines, however as Orion Airways no longer exists and thus no longer holds Astriol under them Astriol is no longer a member of said Star Alliance.

### Initial Public Offering

After many months of waiting, Astriol had finally made the decision from its board of directors to go public, with a mostly positive initial response, despite a number of white cards being thrown across the floor of the Ador Stock Exchange over the following days. The gains from the day were an estimated 120 million Adorian Lira.

### Astriol Energy

The latest addition to the corporation, Astriol Energy was formed to help assist the nation in it's transfer to green energy, given the recent passing of a number of environmental laws that made it excruciatingly complex to do fossil fuels in the coming decades. It has come into conflict with Southern Energy, with the latter having few cares about following the law unless it directly affects profits or its ability to continue operations.

### Corporate Reform and New Hirings

On the 14th of January 2022 Attica had decided that Astriol had become too decrepit to continue operating in an effective capacity. Hence he announced the restructuring of Astriol Incorporated, including a open link to Astriol’s headquarters, in which people could arrive and become new employees of the company. As well as this he designed new logos for all three branches, including a separation of logos from Astriol Airlines and the main company, This would serve well to reenergise the public drawing in the new hires of Sinpar as the replacement Chief Public Relations Officer of Astriol Airlines, succeeding James Arthur’s questionable performance and Lord Fabiaen, serving as the first Chief Operations Officer of Astriol Energy.
