David Lloyd

**Ilham Aliyev "David" Lloyd** (June 30, 1975 - December 11, 2025) was a Libirachi politician who served as the Minister of Finance during the Jackson, Fox, Xi and Salamander administrations between 2010 and 2025, before being dropped during a reshuffle of the Damien Salamander II Cabinet. Following his removal from office in 2025, Lloyd was arrested by members of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order and detained, although would be released later in November 2025 on bail, before being assassinated by COMPNOR agents in Shanghai on December 11, 2025.

Born during the premiership of President Jacob Zuma, Ilham Lloyd was recruited from university as an international finance trader for the state owned businesses of the Imperial Republic in 1995 where he assumed the more "western friendly" moniker of David Lloyd for trade with western economies, especially in the United States of America. Returning home in 2006, Lloyd entered the civil service as a leading economist within the finance commission and won bi-partisan praise for his efforts to minimise the impact of the 2008 banking crisis on the Libirachi economy.

Following the unexpected 2010 presidential election and the victory of pro-democracy candidate Nathan Jackson, David Lloyd was appointed as finance minister in a technocratic selection to the Jackson administration. On August 10, 2010, Lloyd won election to the Libirachi National Congress as a member of the Revolutionary party. Using a set of radical Keynesian economical theories to underpin his policies, David Lloyd oversaw the revitalisation of the Libirachi economy through targeted injections and boosts in consumption. Similarly, Lloyd implemented policies to make it easier for state-owned companies to trade internationally, introducing a form of market socialism gradually between 2011 and 2018 to boost the competitive nature of the business and to further development and innovation.

As one of two members of the Jackson cabinet not to be arrested during the 2019 coup d'état, David Lloyd quickly joined forces with the Imperial State Council to ensure that the market price of the Yen was not negatively effected by the coup; in November 2019, Lloyd was present for the coronation of Laura Fox as empress. During the Has Wars and Libirachi Civil War, Lloyd embarked upon a programme of massive military spending to help fuel the Libirachi war machine, but in turn left the nation in a state of massive fiscal deficit. After the end of the Libirachi Civil War, David Lloyd was arrested by members of the Imperial Security Bureau and removed from office on the same day as a re-shuffle of the Damien Salamander II Cabinet in April 2025. Due to his arrest and imprisonment, Lloyd was discounted from holding parliamentary office and was expelled from the Libirachi National Congress. In November 2025, Lloyd was released from jail and allowed to return to his home in Shanghai; as part of his rehabilitation, Lloyd was reappointed to his office within the Libirachi National Congress. On December 11, 2025, Lloyd was assassinated by officers of the ISB in a supposed "terrorist attack", a pretext used by the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order to implement draconian security measures
