## Early Years

## Political Career

### Asperian, Provincial, and Local Politics

Residing in the province of Foinikas, Vasilios is currently the Provincial Governor of Foinikas. He was also previously Mayor of Tsiakipoli and Head of the Asperian Heraldry Society. He is also head of the House of Tsiaki.

Vasilios is currently serving as Vice President of Asperion and represents Asperion in international affairs. He considers himself a social liberal and is very anti-authoritarian.

He was a founding father of the current Asperian government and writer of the current Asperian constitution. (Asperion never had a constitution before Vasilios made one.)

### The Interaekosian Criminal Court and the League of Aekosian States

He, with support from the international community, began writing the basis for the Interaekosian Criminal Court, which after careful consideration, was merged into the League of Aekosian States (LOAS). This document is known as the Tsiakipoli Charter.

With the founding of the League of Aekosian States and the Interaekosian Criminal Court, he also became a Judge on the ICC and was elected by his peers to become the Supreme Judge of the ICC.

## Criticism

### Treatment of the House of Kymatistá

Vasilios has a relaxed approach of the Kymatistásian Pirates, viewing them as a powerful ally and partner. He has given a commission to the Kymatistásian Pirates, allowing them to raid any nation and pirate group except Asperion with no/little legal repercussions. He has also appointed Achillieos Kymatista, a member of the Kymatistásian Privateers as Admiral of the Navy due to his seafaring skills and expertise. This has garnered attention from the more conservative and reactionary forces of the Asperian Government, calling Vasilios a "corrupt member of the Kymatistásians."

## Family

His father, Theodoros Miskidis Tsiaki (510-585), was an estate owner and a former Asperian military officer. His mother, Emilija Nadezhda Marina (516-), was the well-educated daughter of a senior government official.

Vasilios dated and subsequently married Adrijana Borisov (558-). They were married at the Tsiaki estate in 562. They produced a single child: Thomas (b. 576). Adrijana was a shy and deeply religious woman.

## Publications

Known for his writings before entering politics, he has written many books and articles over the years.

His most famous publication was the Encyclopedia Aekosia, which he was the largest contributor to, followed by Magnus Frazier and Florentium Santalum Nuciferum.

The current Constitution of Asperion and the Tsiakipoli Charter were also written by him, detailing the founding of the new Federal Union of Asperion and the Interaekosian Criminal Court (now merged with the League of Aekosian States).
