## History

### Early History

Attica Barres (ND) of the New Democrats was the first governor, with LastCelebration of the Liberty Union of Adoria as his running mate. They together defeated CAMBIT (SPA) and BismarckLover (CCU), on Monday, 14 December 2020 after a very close election, where Attica won by just a single vote. During his term, Attica passed basic bills on the legislative procces in Aklanos, such as the "Aklanos Government Organisation Act 2020" and "People's Bill Submission Act 2020" as well as a contest for the provincial flag.

Attica decided not to run in the second gubernational election, so DJNightingale from Christian Civic Union became the second governor of Aklanos after winning the election with 69.2% of the vote. DJNightingale went on to finish the referendum on the flag of Aklanos and passed legislation on improwing the Infrastructure and protection of trade unions. Unlike his predecessor, DJNightingale decided to run for a second term as governor, and received only 28.6%, and thus moved to the second round against BismarkLover. The second round however ended in a tie, so the National Assembly had to vote on who would become the next governor, where DJNightingale won the vote. In his second term DJNightingale passed more bills on Government services, such as establishing an Aklanosian State Police and making public transport more affordable (note that these bills weren't authored by DJNightingale himself).

### AWP takeover

DJNightingale did not ran for his third term, so CAMBIT from the Adorian Workers' Party won the election with 66.7%. During CAMBIT's term as governor, Attica proposed the construction of a rail network in Aklanos and Gio proposed renaming the largest city in Aklanos, Vástos to Giovania. Gio's proposal however failed with 15 votes against and only 6 votes for, so the city of Vástos retained its name.

The next governor of Aklanos would be JoeRogan, the leader of the Adorian Workers' Party, who won the election with 61.4%. JoeRogan managed to pass 13 bills during his term, most of which focused on infrastructure, such as replacing water pipes in Aklanos to prevent the buildup of lead over time and forming a state owned electric company so that the citizens of Aklanos spend less money on electric bills. Among the other bills, Joe also established an Aklanossian Health Service, People's Courts and a Coastguard.

Governor Joe passed bills that also expaned the worker's rights, which gave the provincial government the right to nationalise businesses at will, raising the minimum wage, full pay to striking workers and a law that prevents large companies from leaving the province. This has caused widespread panic among businesses in Aklanos, with multiple local businesses filing for bankruptcy and local banks stopping giving out loans to businesses and the unemployment expected to spike at 25%.

JoeRogan was later banned for being an alt, so he couldn't participate in the 6th gubernational election, and as a result Thomas Sevon won the election with 70.6% of the vote. Thomas would appoint Attica as his lt. governor and together they would work on repealing most of Roganite bills.
