**Gomate Grenovalda Princia** (born June 18, 1937) is a former Birabatui politician and lawyer who served as the 12th Prezdente of the Islandes Unidaú de'o Birbetu. He is widely considered to be the most influential president in modern day Birabatui history, propelling Birabatu into modernity to become on par with many other rising economies in Central and South America. Princia gained major support from the masses whilst stabilizing Birabatu during heightened rebel tensions in the early 1990s. Princia also created the center-right wing faction of the big tent Konjama L'ange Party, the KLLP Union, solidifying the whole party's presence in Birabatu. Post-presidency, he's known for his outstanding work in promoting humanitarian relief, not just in Birabatu, but across the Americas, being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2010. In addition, Princia was awarded the highest honor of Birabatu, the Klokla Sirsigónta (Eternal Sir) title by his former Vice Prezdente, then Prezdente, Probazón in 2007.

During his 12 years as Prezdente, Princia defined his presidency with "Gometómicas," a phrase to describe Gomate's expansion of free market policies that grew the national economy and lowered taxes. Princia's polices prompted huge economic growth while also bolstering further economic divide. Apart from Princia's economic policies, a large part of his presidency was defined by his iron fist on rebel operations in the western islands during the 1990 and 1993 rebel insurgencies. In general, the '90s decade was often called the Princian era due to Princia being in office the whole decade. Princia is often ranked as the first or second best Prezdente in Birabatui history, defining the '90s and modern Birabatu.

### Early Life

Gomate Grenovalda Princia was born on June 18, 1937 at Pinlota Locále Nursing Home in Pinlota City, a quaint suburban neighborhood in South Borakino. He was the only son of Mareña Logazo and Princo (Tim) Grenovalda. Princia's father was a Konjama L'ange veteran who for 3 years fought at the Final Battle of Tekoke in 1921. Princia's father came home to Borakino in 1931, immediately getting married to high school sweetheart, Mareña. Princia's father suffered from PTSD throughout Princia's childhood, often too traumatized to even leave his bedroom, leading to Princia's distant relationship with his dad. Princia's mother, Mareña owned a bodega-like mini-grocery at the end of their street. Mareña would often be gone for long hours on-end, leaving Princia's grandma to take care of him. During the 50s, as Princia was in his teens, gentrification of Pinlota City during the population boom of Borakino looked to evict Gomate and his family from the neighborhood. Princia had been involved in his local corcesa (church). Through his church, Princia got in touch with a local organization that was looking to help victims of gentrification. The organization eventually helped Princia's mother stay afloat with keeping the house and the bodega. Since then, Princia and his mother's bond tightened. Princia was always an observant and intelligent child, getting into great Birabatui philosophy works like Lo'ohemia and Bara Nuak'a during his upper school years.

#### Education

Princia was often considered bright as a child, moving up a grade in 8th grade. Due to his academic prowess, Princia was able to gain admission into one of Borakino's elite school's, El Colegio de Santa Magdalena Por Niños, a Spanish-medium boys-only Catholic high school. Princia was grateful for his opportunity to study at the school, but disagreed with the school's fundamental principals, since it turned away native Buora's, Mixisa's (Mixed people) and Africaño's (People of African descent). Princia's mother persuaded him many times during the year to stick to his education at the high school, something Princia cites he's thankful for, to this day.

After high school, Princia decided to undertake a bachelor's degree in law. He was accepted into the prestigious Universidad de'o Port Binñye near the Perlemente, where he volunteered as a staffer for then MP for South Borakino, a Pinlota native, Bolago Kle'Kai. While balancing school work at the university, Princia took on strenuous training with Kle'Kai, who believed Gomate had a "spark" for politics. As Princia apprenticed under Kle'Kai, he realized that law wasn't something he wanted to pursue in the future. His real calling was for politics. Despite his changed interests, Princia graduated the top of his class, titulado con distinción, equivalent to summa cum laude. Princia also took some classes to learn the native Birabatui language, Buora. While in his first 4 years, Princia also met his future wife, Mei L'ani.

While Princia had no hardships in completing his coursework and apprenticing in Perlemente, towards the end of his 4 years, elected Prezdente Panovakwe L'nako from the Buora Rebel Party, was introducing new autocratic policies. In 1959, near Princia's graduation, L'nako committed a coup, imprisoning many prominent anti-rebel politicians. Panovakwe then dissolved perlemente, instating a new National Assembly full of loyal Buora cronies. During 1960, L'nako also introduced what would be known later as, The Rebueléak, a secret police force that wrongfully imprisoned the minorities of Birabatu. Universities were closed and Christians were persecuted. Princia had to move back to Borakino after the coup, a safe haven for minorities like Spaniards and Christians.

#### Pre-Political Life

    Not much is known about Princia's life after his move back to Borakino. Princia was known to be a very reclusive man, working as a discrete lawyer for more than two decades. Shortly after Princia garnered a job in Borakino as an attorney at the firm K. N. Garcia & Sons, he met Mei L'ani Princia, who he would propose to just a month later. Most of Princia's cases in the two decades of his minor attorney work was in defense of local farmers whose land was being encroached on illegally due to the rapid urban growth of Borakino after Prezdente Panovakwe's ousting. At the start of the 1980s, Princia's wife, Mei L'ani increasingly urged for Princia to get into public life, seeing the "spark in [Princia's] eyes everyday" go away. Princia's repetitive attorney job was apparently upsetting to Mei L'ani, who believed Princia had the potential to make a change in Birabatui political society. In an attempt to save relations with his wife, Princia regained contact with Bolago Kle'Kai, a now veteran MP from Pinlota whom he apprenticed under in college. Princia slowly entered the political scene with only one thing on his mind, pleasing his wife.

### Early Political Career

#### Deputy Mayor of Borakino

After gaining touch with the Borakino political scene, Princia took his shot at a recently open political position as Deputy Mayor of Borakino. The previous Deputy Mayor resigned over an arbitrary corruption scandal which had removed various Borakino officeholders from seeking government position again. Mei L'ani apparently heard of the opening as deputy mayor and *encouraged* Princia to enter himself in the running. Princia apparently had to tap into family deposits to secure enough election campaign funds. 88% of Princia's 1984 Deputy Mayor campaign was self-funded. Princia faced another KLLP lawyer eyeing the position who rarely showed up to debates or community discussions; his name unknown to the small active voter base of Borakino. In August of 1984, Princia won in a blowout with 73% of the vote, immediately entering office the next month.

Like many other Birabatui Deputy Mayors, Princia worked more of as an advisor to the Borakino Mayor. Princia is most remembered for being tied to the success of many large infrastructure projects in Borakino at the time during his Deputy Mayorship. One of his largest contributions; Princia oversaw the behemoth Centrále Estación in the heart of downtown Borakino, the biggest and busiest train hub in Birabatu. Apart from being the main facilitator of infrastructure projects in Borakino, Princia frequently interacted with the communities of Pinlota and Nordá, the two main neighborhoods of inner Borakino. During his time as Deputy Mayor, Princia developed what would become a common campaigning procedure for Birabatui politicians, called "Eschudád." Eschudád comes from the phrase, "escuchar la ciudad" meaning "To hear the city" in Spanish. Eschudád, in simple terms, is a large open community meeting where a politician is put up on a stand and questioned. During an eschudád, people in the community could propose ideas and question the politician at hand, making for a very productive few hours where the community is interwoven with the governmental system. Princia is said to have pioneered the eschudád, hosting the first one in January of 1985. Shortly around January 1985, Princia also decided last minute to run for the Borakino Mayoral position. The success of the eschudád format increased his popularity around Borakino exponentially, with Princia not needing a platform to showcase his views due to his recognition in the city. On February 2nd of 1985, Princia announced his campaign for Borakino Mayor, passionately speaking without teleprompter for a large two hours and eight minutes. Princia's announcement speech has long been considered one of the best speeches of his political career, clearly highlighting nearly his entire four year agenda for the mayorship. Princia faced little opposition for the mayoral race with the current mayor, Zabado García retiring from political life after 16 years as Borakino's Mayor. García campaigned for Princia multiple times, solidifying Princia's chance at becoming the mayor. On September 7th of 1985, after only one block of voting (Pinlota and Atlanticaú), Princia was confirmed to be the winner. He took office on the eighteenth of September, being inaugurated the same day.

#### Mayor of Borakino

Princia's mayorship catapulted the rise of his national image in many ways. For example, Princia took office at the start of a large population boom not seen in Borakino since the Progo Boom. At the same time, rebel uprisings in North Peleketu began to threaten the safety hub that Borakino was during the opposite dictatorships of Edgár Sinsilla and Panovakwe. In light of these population density and safety issues, as apart of Princia's first actions in office, he passed various population density requirements along with the buying of almost one million acres of land for the city of Borakino during Princia's four years in office. To combat the increasing traffic problems associated with the population problem, Princia also increased public funding on infastructure, announcing a pact of infrastructure projects called **Visión Pública 1985**, which included the plan for Borakino's first metro system; a single line from Okano through Via Costa, Pinlota, Centrále and Borakino East, a plan widely criticized at the time for snubbing Nordá and South Borakino (see controversies).

In addition to massive development plans for Borakino, Princia introduced a multitude of city legislation through the council aimed at combatting rising crime. Rising crime during the 80s was largely due to the uptick of communal violence between the Supremacía Spañola and various Buora rebels. In the second year of Princia's mayoral term, communal riots popped up in Byalaville, known as the Antegava Uprisings of 1986 which then spread across the country, first to Borakino. In response, Princia heightened police presence throughout the city, and implemented stop and frisk laws, Princia's first major controversy. Princia's stop and frisk laws supposedly targeted Africaños in Borakino North, but overall, decreased crime in Centrále, the heart of Borakino. Princia's tenure as mayor saw the lowest crime rates in Borakino since the 1940s before the dictatorship of Edgár Sinsilla. Borakino would see its' highest crime rate in history, just one year after Princia left office as his polices were nullified.

As Princia served as Mayor, his policies and robust oration gained him respect throughout Birabatu. As Princia's name became popular within the political atmosphere, the people of Birabatu were increasingly showing distaste for the ruling party, the BNP, which over the past fifteen years had produced seven presidents, all falling to corruption scandals or resigning out of pure boredom. During those fifteen years, post-Panovakwe, the economy showed stagnant growth, and Birabatu had not fully industrialized with no large expansions of the job market. In the midst of the BNP's fall, Princia decided to take up an offer by the KLLP Chairman at the time, Mandán Hejiñeko. Hejiñeko, a Borakino native, believed Princia had a shot at running in the 1990 general elections, the KLLP poised to win. The KLLP was in urgent need of a new face and Princia represented those ideals, despite being rather center-right leaning. Princia then announced his run for Prezdente de'o Birbetu on March 16, 1989.
