### Main Career

-At Banning: CEO of Mineco-Most Infamous Position: 42nd Prime Minister of the Republic of Polynesia

### Public Reputation

Somewhat Negative

Bee was a Flemish player on Polynesia who joined the server on December 16th, 2020 due to the Eurocraft Diaspora. He served as the 42nd Prime Minister of the Republic of Polynesia (RoP) for a time, being the only Prime Minister to serve under the People's Party's system of government reforms. He was also the CEO of Mineco, which is to-date the second-most successful company in Polynesian history. Bee was permanently banned from the server by owner Britannia for bombing the RoP's Parliament on January 31, 2021.

## **Legacy**

**Bee's legacy mainly consists of his corporate ventures, the political instability during his tenure, and his terror bombing of Parliament.**

Bee owned the extremely profitable Contean-based company of Mineco, which to date is the second-most successful company in Polynesian history behind Broke Building LLC. His company held business in Ashton Federal Lands, the Province of Nova Contea, and the North Sea Province. Mineco was centred in the city of Tabantha Peaks, turning the Polynesian mining industry into one of the core pillars of the Polynesian economy. To date, no other natural resources company has been able to surpass the success of Mineco.

In addition to being a successful businessman, Bee was also the NPA's only Prime Minister, serving a few days in office. Being openly bisexual, he was the first public member of the LGBTQA+ community to hold a political or business position of any kind in Polynesian history, making his term a symbolic sign of progress for the nation. His term saw the legitimization of same-sex marital unions on a federal level, the start of construction of Fort Tabantha, followed by large-scale military reform; working off of Tsar's baseline reforms and turning the RoP army into a large, organized, and competent force. However, Bee was also remembered to be quite unstable; making at times rash decisions and later going back on them. This attitude, coupled with the January 2021 Anti-Government Protests and the January 2021 Election Crisis destabilized the federal government, starting a trend of ever-escalating national polarization which would culminate into the AFAB Riots.

Finally, Bee bombed the RoP Parliament after the end of the AFAB Riots, which got him permanently banned from the community. Many presume that this was another one of his rash emotional outbursts, which caused his temperament and this otherwise insignificant bombing to be remembered more than his positive achievements as time went by.

## CEO of Mineco

### Preceeded by:

Position Established

On December 20, 2020, Bee created the company of Mineco in southwestern Tabantha Peaks. Tabantha Peaks was already a large mining city in the RoP, but the peak of its mining industry would swiftly be reached once Mineco got off its feet. Most sales by Mineco were to private citizens such as Tsar\_\_Putin or Didneywurl4lif, although it also sold to Contean municipalities such as Tabantha Peaks and Ascot. Mineco also had clients outside of Contea for a time, but these ventures were small and a lot less successful. Mineco eventually disbanded on January 30, 2021 after Bee was permanently banned for bombing the RoP Parliament. By then, the company was already making no profit for several days as its entire clientele was banned or quit following the AFAB Riots.

**Electoral Draw with the Socialist Party**

At the end of the January 3, 2021 federal election, Bee's New Polynesian Alliance (NPA) party and Enrique's Socialist Party (SP) both drew in vote share. Enrique eventually conceded the position of Prime Minister to Bee to avoid government instability.

**The January 2021 Election Crisis**

The draw with the Socialist Party and the lack of a protocol to deal with draws in the new political system invented by the People's Party led to many Polynesians led by Britannia being disenfranchised with the new system; calling it a Governor-led Oligarchy. To remedy the crisis, Bee held a referendum with two options: a reformed system which would have a Parliament along with Governors voting on laws as a secondary chamber of government, or returning to the Coalition-based Parliamentary system. The second option won the national referendum, and the Coalition-based Parliamentary system of government returned in the next election onwards.

**Military Reform & Construction of Fort Tabantha**

Bee and his right-hand man KaiserWillie both went on a campaign to continue the military reforms started by ex-Prime Minister Tsar during the 8th CentreCo Government. They changed the command structure to be more coherent, and consolidated the different existing army units to promote unity and loyalty to the nation and its democratic principles. Bee's term also saw the first large-scale military training session since June 2020; leading to promotion of skilled troops into leadership positions, which created a sense of comradery amongst the troops from different national regions, and reinvigorated Polynesian army tradition.

In addition to improving the army in terms of personnel and leadership, Bee's term saw the modernization of troop armament loadout equipment and the start of a program to create dedicated military sites and defensive structures to ensure the RoP's continued internal and external security. The megaproject which started the process of military construction was the commission of Fort Tabantha -- a massive nether fortress made of Blackstone, End Stone, Basalt, and Obsidian. It was to guard the most populated RoP city of Tabantha Peaks, and also protect the main RoP trade hub city of VoS-Foresta from nether highway-based incursions. Its design was supposed to be a way of luring attackers into choke points within its structure, instead of using the structure itself to defend the base as if it were a conventional castle or fortress. The Keep and Citadel protecting Tabantha Peaks had their construction halted ahead of final completion, and the VoS section was not started because the government abandoned the project once Prime Minister Frederick took office. Regardless, the somewhat completed parts of the Fortress were still used by rioters and police units to great effect during the AFAB Riots.

**Legalization of Same-Sex Marital Unions**

On January 5, 2021, Prime Minister Bee proposed a law into the Polynesian House of Representatives to legalize same-sex marital unions, which passed unanimously. Bee often used this success to present himself as a champion of progress and considered it one of his major achievements. However, although the law was popular, most criticized it; calling it useless and some even considered it a publicity stunt. This is because the concept of marriage didn't exist as an institution. Rather, marriages were mainly carried out by privately by individuals, and even most religions such as Polynesian Christianity or the Church of Cum rarely did marriage ceremonies. This made the law seem obsolete. Since this was also the first time any RoP institution ever dealt with marriage in any way, many questioned the quality and thoughtfulness of the law, since it only acknowledged same-sex unions as legitimate.

**Start of the National Highway System**

In the final days of Bee's term as Prime Minister, he oversaw the start of Minister Leon's national highway-building project. The highway only had a small amount of its length built in an area between Evals Village and Tabantha Peaks (although because it was so short, it didn't link any of them together), and across a river beside Ascot for 50 blocks. The Contean Provincial government managed to negotiate the transfer of ownership of the highway from federal to provincial jurisdiction, but was not expanded due to all levels of government collapsing due to the AFAB Riots.

**January 2021 Anti-Government Protests and Resignation**

Starting on January 7th 2021, Britannia of the Labour Party started a protest movement against the government, which rallied broad left-wing support; swiftly becoming one of the largest protests in Polynesian history. The main goal was secretly to destabilize the government in order to make people support left wing parties more, although a lesser group led by Sealand called for economic reform and a better cabinet. Most of the government didn't notice, and many within the movement itself initially called it a joke. However, Bee took the protests personally, even calling Britannia homophobic despite Brit being one of the largest supporters of LGBT rights in Polynesia.

The protests further polarized the RoP, especially in Contea which saw a massive increase in Contean nationalism that was fueled by a hatred of federal politics in general. Bee's reaction to the protests was also very unpopular, which resulted in his public support within his own inner circle decrease and the general public seeing him as overly rash and insecure. This dwindling popularity, coupled with anxiety caused by the protests, compelled Bee to resign his position as Prime Minister on January 10, 2021

### **Contean Social Activist**

**Pro-LGBTQA+ Rights Activist**

Being the first open member of the LGBTQA+ community to hold any important political or financial position in Polynesian history, Bee made sure to use his influence and legacy within the community to promote inclusiveness and tolerance of minority groups in Polynesian society. His progressive messages were unilaterally supported by all political leaders and parties regardless of political wing.

**Advocate for Army Reform**

Ever since the creation of his New Polynesian Alliance (NPA) political party, Bee always put an emphasis on his belief that the RoP needed a strong and skilled army. He was joined in this message by important military staff such as Kaiser, Didney, Brit, and Tsar. A large part of his dream for a powerful army were realized during his term as Prime Minister, but the army soon became neglected and disunited under Prime Minister Fred's tenure; eventually collapsing alongside the government itself at the end of the AFAB Riots.

**Champion of Free Market Capitalism**

As one of the faces of Polynesian centrism and libertarianism, Bee ensured to keep pro-free market policy present on a federal and provincial level in the RoP. After retiring from federal politics, Bee moved his entire focus to ensuring that pro-free market policy remained present in the Province of Nova Contea via the Contean Citizens Council (the Province's legislative assembly). One of Bee's actions to keep these policies in place within the Contea was his successful stoppage of Governor Tsar's attempt to use provincial funds to give out stimulus cheques to primary & secondary Contean citizens; calling the idea Socialist and wasteful, and imploring Tsar to use the funds to invest in private urban development contracts or more regulated forms of social welfare.

**Anti-Taxation Stance**

Bee was one of the many anti-taxation activists who criticized the 12th LeftCo Government's sympathy to implementing a nationwide federal tax. This anti-tax movement stretched from moderate liberals to the right wing and was quite popular. However, this movement soon took things too far and started the AFAB Riots despite promises by the government to not implement taxes. Although the riots lowered appeal to anti-tax ideals, taxes were nonetheless not implemented into the RoP 3rd Republic at any time.

## **Criminal Record**

### **Participation in Tax Fraud Plans**

In January 2021, Tsar\_\_Putin discussed a plan with many high-profile Conteans to create a tax fraud scheme through Wolters Bank. The plan was to deposit money into the bank, which was untraceable and under-regulated, in order to not appear in any tax brackets and therefore keep all profit to oneself. Bee was one of the individuals who was on board with the plan. With taxes not being implemented and mass-quitting by the participants in the scheme after the AFAB Riots, this plan never actually happened.

### **Actions in the AFAB Riots**

Bee was a member of the #OccupyCapital (AFAB) movement during the riots. He participated in brawls with police units on the first day they occurred. However, he soon leaked information to government forces out of corporate interest and left the movement 4 days later to run his company. He would silently disapprove of the rioter's actions for a time, but then returned to his anti-federal government and anti-taxation beliefs after the riots concluded. This backtracking further alienated both the public and his friends within the #OccupyCapital movement's opinion of him, who saw him as unreliable.

### **Domestic Terrorism**

On January 31, 2021, Bee bombed the RoP's Parliament. His motives are not fully known, but most speculate that the bombing was motivated out of boredom and was perhaps a rash outburst of violence. Some thought that he joined the Knights of Kaon Terror Organization and did the attack in its name, but this was proven to be false. Some also speculate that it was a form of revenge after RoP government forces and many citizens razed many parts of Nova Contea to the ground as revenge for the AFAB Riots without repercussion, including Bee's house and other neutral civilian residences. With owner Britannia being tired of antigovernmental demonstrators causing violence, Bee was permanently banned. This move was controversial for some remaining players such as Leon, who saw this banning as hypocritical since the bombing of parliament was both insignificant and small compared to the unpunished razing of Contea by the Millitary Junta lead by Belg.
