Jackson

Jackson joined Everthorn on the 15th May 2020. He is from the United Kingdom and has gone on to become a prominent member of the Everthorn community. Jackson chose Stregabor as his home in his first days on the server with King Pavel I as its leader. Settling in Varendor his first build was the parliament that still sits in the capital today. On the 8th June 2020 he was elected as King, replacing King Pavel I who had reigned for 3 months prior.

## 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th King of Stregabor

**The 2nd King:**

Jackson was the 2nd King of Stregabor from the 8th June 2020 to the 8th September 2020. He won a landside victory after his opponents dropped out of the race on election day once the results came in. Having been only part of the realm and the server for little over a month, Jackson had become one of the most powerful men on the server. During June the Varendor expansion began construction which would continue construction throughout his reign, it holds buildings such as the church, the Asbahamael embassy and Jackson Manor.

July saw many aspects of Jacksons leadership collapse with policy after policy failing to deliver. A tax system was to be introduced in order for Stregabor to raise finances to fund new projects and give the King more flexibility with the kingdoms finances. With this came the new shop policy of having shops held inside kingdoms rather than spawn. Both polices fell through due to fears of a reconstruction of the United Everthorn Republic and the threat of citizens losing individual wealth. But July also opened opportunities to Stregabor, Jackson ensured that the promised deal with Asbahamael would come into affect and in July it did. This deal gave citizens access to Asbahamael Mesa, providing resources to enhance the kingdom. A bridge was also constructed over the river near Varendor to allow for faster travel between towns. Finally, CrazyDave requested to join Stregabor, after a public vote held by Jackson he was rejected.

During August Jackson's activity peaked on the realm as the summer came to end. The Stregabor Chat would be created, a separate server for Stregabor to order business. The idea was put forward by the then Prime Minister, Chase. Just as things began to run smoothly, Stregabor and Jackson become rocked by the crisis of How. Copy decided that his time was up on the realm and chose to leaving and with it the position of area leader for How became vacant. His position would be filled by Undertaker who was a prominent figure in Stregabor. Undertaker would go on to build The Great Mine in Hov. The plans for the mountain took the minds off of the issue of Hov for Jackson. Pavel has introduced the idea of a large mountain near East Point to which Jackson agreed to. It is still under construction today though and is unlikely to be completed any time soon.

## Community Manager,

In early May 2020 Pavel would invite Jackson to become a new generation of Community Manager's on the server after Jackson had stepped down as King. He chose to accept with the vision to change the servers gap between those in power and the player base. However, two weeks into his new role Jackson chose to stand down citing personal issues as the reason to his resignation.

## The Return of the 6th King

Jackson returned as King on the 20th June 2021, taking over from Jake. Jackson's reign as king would be short as he would later turn Stregabor into an Empire with an Emperor. During his time as the 6th King he is most famous for the "commonwealth". This was the idea the the 3 Kingdoms of Stregabor, Dalvasha and Ambria would unite into a fully formed Commonwealth and one kingdom. This vision was born out of Jacksons fear of Eireann and the threat to Stregabors power over realm affairs. However, talks broke down and the Commonwealth idea collapsed after Stregabor dropped out on the 12th July 2021. One day after this, Jackson would completely change Stregabor into an Empire and reshape the Kingdom he had been ruling for over a year.......

## The Empire Of Stregabor

After the fall of the Commonwealth talks Jackson decided the only way to keep Stregabor as a major player and combat the rising threat of Eireann, Stregabor would need majpr refrom that would centralise many aspects of the Kingdom. Elections had become a shide show in the kingdom that Jackson had to devote time to instead of making decision on the future of the Kingdom. As Stregabor lacks a constitution the Ruler can take any action withen in the Kingdom. On 13th of July 2021 Jackson informed the Dukes and leaders of small areas of Stregabor that their powers had been stripped and that Stregabor would now turn into an unelected Empire with him at the top. The government joined him in his optimism and gave up their power. Stregabor was now an Empire with one man at the top, completely unopposed from within his own Empire. On the 14th of July, a day later, Jackson would announce the complete dissolution of all alliances including Stregabor (the Stregabor - Ambria alliance stayed as Ambria convinced Jackson that without Stregabors help Ambria would fall to Dalvasha and Stregabor would find another powerful neighbour on its border)

Soon after the complete reset of the kingdoms government and electoral system Jackson then turned to the economic system that had plaged Stregabor for many months. Jackson decided the only way to break the issues of supply breakups from other kingdoms was to turn Stregabor into a completely self sufficient Kingdom. He begun by establishing geode farms in an attempt to stop CyanLightz from creating a monopoly on geodes and giving more power to Eireann. The Beacon race would then begun on the 18th of July 2021 where Jackson challenged Eireann to build a full netherite beacon ... the challenge still hasnt been completed and looks a long wayh off from completion from either kingdom.

Jackson continued after this to work on Stregabors economic system right up till his departure as Empire in August 2021. Jackson also saw the invasion of Stregabor by Eireann as inevitable so began the create a fully fledged border with Eireann which included watchtowers and defensive rivers/ trenches. Many of these defensive capabilities have still been unfound and it is rumoured that only Jackson knows where they are and has turned them into a bunker for the future ....

By August 2021 Jackson had led Stregabor for a 1 year and a 1 month as King and 1 month as Emperor. International pressure on the unelected title of Emperor was beginning to see Stregabor citizens question the new government. Jackson had also seen real life problems becoming more and more pressing.

## Approval Ratings and Elections

Jackson was famed for having very high approval ratings on the realm and server. His net approval rating stood at 81.8% a month before he announced his abdication from the throne on the 8th April. 90.9% of people approved of his leadership whilst 9.1% disapproved of his leadership. In July 2021 after Jackson returned as Ruler he went on to beat his past record for approval ratings with 100% approval, the highest any ruler has ever achieved and becoming the most popular Ruler on the Realm.

Jackson also went on to fight 4 elections in the Stregabor King elections. Throughout these elections Jackson increased his vote share from 60% in the first election on June 8th 2020 to 100% on the 8th January 2021 and then going onto be an uncontested candidate in June 2021.

## Stepping Down as Emperor and Leaving Everthorn:

Jackson stood down as Emperor on the 12th August 2021 and called a unique Emperor election to replace him. Jackson had ruled Stregabor for a year and three months since he joined Everthorn and has said that he will never return to the throne of Stregabor saying it needs drastic change to survive and compete as a major player in Realm affairs in the future. He has said in conversations on the server that the rise of Eireann has posed a threat to Stregabor with its potential manpower and productivity. Jackson is also reported to have told Sniper of the importance of the Stregabor - Ambria Alliance which has held strong since the creation of the two kingdoms.

Jackson is reported as missing in the realm. The government of Stregabor continues to insist that he is dead, though rumours have spread that Jackson is in fact alive and currently in hiding as he plans his next major intervention in Everthorn...
