Allegate

Allegate Evergreen is the President of Vooperia and current High King of Lanatia. He has held these positions since the first Senate. He was also formerly the Senator of Lanatia, Director of Vooperia State Security, the Prime Minister, the President, the Minister of the Interior, and the Speaker of the Senate.

## Politics

### The Vooperian Revolution

Vooperia rose up on Earth in the early 21st century. The first victory was over the British in London. During this time, Allegate was Governor of Washington State in the former United States of America.

After the victory in London, the Director released incriminating information on every world government in an event called the Great Leak. Being the Governor, Allegate was not affected by the Leak. The two senators were not so lucky, and disappeared shortly after. In the chaos Allegate struck a deal with the Governor of Oregon to split away from the failing United States and form the Republic of Cascadia.

The Republic was the most stable region in North America. Its success led Emperor Spike to invite it into the Vooperian Empire. With Cascadia becoming part of Vooperia, Allegate decided to continue his career as a politician with Emperor Spike.

### **Colonization of Spookvooper**

Allegate's skills as a leader allowed him to be one of the first few politicians brought to the new planet called Spookvooper. Over the course of a century, the planet was terraformed and then colonized. Allegate was put in charge of a large island in the north of the planet. This island was named Aldorria.

When he first arrived on Aldorria in 2099, he remarked that the geography and climate were very similar to central Europe. By this point he had become a prominent member of the Melon Church. The first city constructed was originally called Aldgate, but the Melon Pope suggested "Lanatia" instead. Aldgate was later constructed in the northwest of the island.

### Aldorrian Independence

In 2153 a simple dispute grew into a colonial crisis. The Territory of Aldorria and the Territory of New Vooperis both claimed a large strip of ocean. Mining had uncovered underwater volcanoes rich with Crystallite in the strip. Allegate, who was the Colonial Governor of Aldorria, demanded that the strip be given to Aldorria. New Vooperis at the time covered nearly 1/4 of all land on Spookvooper, while Aldorria remained isolated on the island.

Emperor Spike sided with New Vooperis in this crisis. New Vooperis had been suffering from internal issues and the discovery of the Crystallite would boost its economy. Allegate and his territory were ignored by the Empire. Unrest and anti-imperial sentiment saw a sharp increase, and on February 16th the Territory of Aldorria declared its independence from Vooperia.

The Vooperian response was indifferent. It was 4 months before any acknowledgement of the declaration reached Aldorria. With such a sparsely populated island suddenly becoming independent, many influential people wanted to take control. Allegate believed that the best way to prevent an uprising was to resort to feudalism. Kingdoms were created, and Kings were pitted against themselves instead of the central government. For a brief period every kingdom had independence, but Allegate swiftly united them into the United Kingdoms of Aldorria.

The United Kingdoms kept their independence for 20 years. By 2174 Vooperia's population had increased dramatically and Emperor Spike needed more room. An offer was sent to Allegate: join the Empire as a district, and Aldorria can keep its Medieval traditions. The offer was accepted.

### Early Years of Medievala

A political cartoon making fun of Aldorria's system jokingly referred to the district as "Medievala." Allegate, wanting to find a new name for his district to celebrate its reintegration, stuck with it. Medievala was the only district to have ever been independent, and also had a unique system of government. This created a divide between it and the rest of Vooperia.

After the integration, Allegate was made Senator of the district. The people of the district saw this title as an attempt to remove their traditions, so Allegate proclaimed himself Emperor of Medievala. This caused much confusion in Vooperia, which already had an Emperor, and the rest of the Empire simply called him "King" or "Senator."

Despite the outward distrust and dislike towards Medievala and its Senator, Medievalan traditions spread to the rest of the Empire. By the early 2200s several other Senators had crowns similar to Allegate's. The Netherlands, Queensland, and Old King all had Medieval influence. But while other Senators came and went, Allegate held his position. His grand speeches and mastery of politics gave him an almost cult-like following in Medievala.

### Renaming

Wanting to adapt to the more technology-oriented Vooperia, Allegate proposed a renaming of the district. Once again 'Lanatia' came up as an option, and this time it stuck. The district was renamed just in time for the greatest conflict since the Zar war.

### Revolution

In 2214 a secretive operation codenamed Project Lavender was conducted in Lanatia. The project is classified by the VSS, but it led to a divide in Vooperia. Allegate once again held ideas of independence for his district. But this time, he wasn't alone.

Lanatia and 5 other districts declared independence. The revolution was met with an armed response from Vooperia. At the start of the war, Emperor Spike was shot by Lexa on Allegate's orders. Allegate continued to lead his district through the war, negotiating with other revolutionary districts and winning many victories. The revolution was nearly a success, and in the final battle Allegate fought Vooperian forces himself, with some help from Lexa. At the last moment ships from Earth saved Vooperia and drove the Lanatians back.

### After the Revolution

When the final battle ended, Allegate was in critical condition. He was sent to a hospital with Emperor Spike for a month. When he was released he was again given an option. Like before, the independent Lanatia had been reintegrated, but the options were not as pleasant. He could get a VTech chip implanted in his head to monitor any potentially revolutionary thoughts while keeping his position, or he could be impeached and executed. He chose the first option.

Allegate went on to get married, have a second child, and overall had a much calmer life. He introduced democratic reforms to Lanatia, such as the Hall of Kings in Lanatia and Direct Democracy for Senate votes. Even after losing the war he kept his influence and never lost an election, but the cult-like aspects were long gone.

The Emperor and Empress positions were also changed to High King and High Queen. This was due to pressure from Emperor Spike, and was largely an unpopular decision in Lanatia and the great Vooperian Empire. However, Spike threatened war, and there was little that could be done.

### Current

Allegate is the President of Vooperia, and is still the High King of Lanatia. He rules the district with his wife, the High Queen. Lanatia is happy with his leadership, and with how he keeps the district government functioning. Other Senators used to dislike Allegate, but now more have come to support him.

His official residence is in his house in Shintoku, but he is usually found with his wife at her palace in Scarlettesia. There they live comfortably, with their only other company being two cats, Cinnamon and Spice. It is rumored that despite being the President, Allegate still does all the housework himself, even quoted as calling himself a maid.

## Personal Life

### Colonization Era

When Allegate left earth, he left many friends behind. He had no family to leave behind, as his parents were wrongfully killed by the US Government for suspected collaboration with Vooperia. When he arrived on Spookvooper he met a woman known as Lexa. Lexa was the most feared assassin in the Empire, and decided to teach Allegate her skills. They became good friends, and from then on Lexa was always by Allegate's side.

### Family

The beginning of Allegate's family was an accident. In 2192 his first daughter Samantha was born. The most widely-accepted story of her conception is that Allegate had too much fun in a random Catgirl Hooters restaurant. This story is mostly false, as both catgirls and the Catgirls Hooters chain didn't exist at the time.

During the Lanatian Revolution, Allegate decided to marry Scarlett. They had been dating for some time, and a great Lanatian victory would be the perfect time for a wedding. Unfortunately Lanatia lost and the marriage was postponed. A month after the end of the revolution, the wedding was held. By this point Allegate already had the VSS chip in his head, and the VSS has been heavily criticized for not waiting until after the wedding to install the chip.

The chip ultimately did not affect anything, and the wedding went on without a hitch. Lexa was the Best Girl, and the ceremony was traditional Melonist. The couple went on tour of Lanatia for their honeymoon, and Scarlett was crowned Empress of Lanatia. They had the first legitimate heir of Lanatia, named Lilith. Lanatia allows any gender to be an heir, so Allegate only having daughters is fortunately not an issue. After the wedding, Allegate took Scarlett's last name.

## Criminal Charges

### Capture by the VSS

After the Medievalan Revolution, Allegate was charged with treason along with approximately 100 other crimes including assassinating the Emperor . To prevent any further ideas of independence, a chip was installed that would monitor Allegate's activities 24/7. If it noticed anything that could be dangerous, the VSS would be notified. The chip could also knock him unconscious remotely. The Restrictions were removed after 20 years per the agreement made between the Director and Allegate.

### Current Relations with the VSS

After the chip incident Allegate has maintained harsh anti-VSS rhetoric. Throughout the 23rd and 24th centuries he gathered significant support for abolishing or reforming the VSS. He has also led some successful political strikes against the VSS.

The reformation of the VSS is one of Allegate's top policies in both his district and in the Senate.
