First Johnson ministry

Matthew Johnson announcing his self-appointment as Prime Minister

Matthew Johnson's tenure as the 1st Prime Minister of the Bloxburg United Kingdom began on 19 April, 2019, and ended on 27 May, 2020. Johnson, a Conservative from Newport, Wales, took office when he declared himself Prime Minister. The legality of his self-appointment is unclear, yet his authority was recognised by the Sovereign and the general public. On May 19, 2020, he officially announced his intention to step down, before nominating Donovan Moore to be his successor.

For approximately the first 250 days of Johnson's premiership, over 62% of his tenure, nobody formally served in his Cabinet. Throughout that time, he led a "hands-off leadership approach," while allowing both Wales and Scotland to pursue individualised objectives with their own First Ministers. The remainder of Johnson's premiership was substantially focused on the appeasement of the BUSA, repeatedly claiming that "there would be no BUK" without their country. His government prioritised membership in multiple international organisations, including the the European Union (EU) and the G7.

Johnson also focused on reforming the immigration system and the economy. His administration would implement citizenship applications, passports, and visas, cemented in an "Australian style points-based immigration system." He similarly stressed the importance of growing the size of public services with a "good business environment."
