Early life

Luz was born in a poor, rural family, in the Mexican countryside. However, he was gifted with good intelligence, so he was taken to city by the Party's officials, in order to receive better education. He practically lived in boarding school all the time, although he visited his family a few times in summer.

He met with SC's tough university system, when he was 18. He studied economics, but he never completed studies fully, and later on worked in factory at first, but then - as an accountant in a government's building. He partially also worked in a street shop.

Policies

Luz was also a good diplomat, and tried to fix the issues between FAE, and Central America - before Luz took power, relations between two branches had worsened. Luckily, Tom agreed for negotiations, and in result, Luz slowly managed to improve relations.

Also, during the rule of FAE, Central America pretty much had degenerated in de facto Party's corporate rule. Unlike some other local party members, Luz was ready to make concessions for the workers, and installed a bunch of policies, which protected from corporate power to some extent. However, at the same time, he tightened nationalization of corporations, and merged them into state owned mega corporations. (Basically, owner of a megacorp usually is a Party's, or Army's member)

Actions like those required a political reform as well, of course, and there was even a small insurgency, which got named as ''Second Cristero War'', in which Party's members, who were against reformist policies, tried to topple Luz, but he managed to beat them back.

Later life, and death

Luz liked to eat a lot of red meat, so doctors warned him to stop doing so. However, he limited his consumption of it only later on, when he was about 40-50, and bad cholesterol started to become a real issue. Despite that, he could still be seen often around with a cup of tekila - this was one of his habits, which he wasn't really able to quit.

Luz Velázquez ruled for about 13 years, and although there was a megacorp attempt to assassinate him, he survived, and died in 2040, from natural causes. He was buried with honor in Mexico City.

Legacy

Luz's policies paved the way for SC's economical model - state labor unions, and state megacorporations at the same time, Luz's belief, that ''SC can create a synthesis with socialism'', eventually took off in the rest of Commonwealth, although it was met skeptically at first.

However, one of Luz's support bases, and followers were actually the farmers, who received extra subsidies during his ruling time. Scientists also support him, as he also spent a lot of money for medical, and weapon research too.

Tyrone was born in Perth, and as his parents themselves, and family as a whole had generational traditions with politics, it was logical, that family had expectations, that Tyrone would be a politician as well.

He also took a course in politics in university, but he didn't fare that well, and his father was disappointed about the results. Later on, he became a member of the coast guard, and tried to pass the exam again - this time, it was successful. After that, he worked in the coast guard for a while, but soon he wet to work for a news agency instead. He often didn't fear to cover topics, which were pretty controversial.

Policies

Tyrone created a prototype of a base in a nuclear power plant. In his lifetime, this idea was laughed at, mostly because of the possible catastrophic consequences, if a plant would melt. However, in future, Stanley managed to improve his design, and listed him as ''co-author''.

Similarly to Swanson, Tyrone had pan-nationalist ideals. However, he wanted to create a something different - Australasian Confederation. So, he created a ''collective nationalism'', which, in his opinion, ''could help to set the cultural differences aside, and work for a common goal.'' Just like Swanson, he never saw the realization of his idea in real life, because when he died, war between three superstates was still raging on.

He also favored syndicalist economics, and wasn't fond of capitalism at all. However, he wasn't fond of communist model either.

Later life, and death

Although Tyrone was impeached, he still didn't lose interest about politics, and was active in them. He also had a lot of supporters, particularly in Western, and Central Australia. However, he also tried to keep his head down.

Anyways, in 2021, a car hit him, and driver drove away from the accident. Although it is generally agreed, that it was an accident, some conspiracy theorists have said, that ''traffic was way too slow for an accident''. However, most of the people, and even some of his biggest supporters, believe, that it was simply an unfortunate accident. Many of his supporters also visited him in his funeral.

Legacy

Tyrone did leave a significant impact on Australasian Confederation, and his strategy of ''collective nationalism'' was later put in practice in Philippines - People were taught, that ''although there are many differences between us, our end goal unites us.'' Also, later on his plan about nuclear power plant base was realized under Stanley, which also installed most modern defense systems available. Officially plant is ''closed'', due of ''lack of uranium'', but in reality, it is fully operational.

Tyrone also has a lot of supporters in New Zealand, due of the fact, that he helped them a lot during his rule, perhaps even more so than for Australia itself.

Trenton was born in Newfoundland, but his family moved to Toronto, when he was 4, and mostly lived an average citizen's life, until he started to study politics. As it was mostly filled with Party's propaganda, his views were more concentrated on unity, and ties with FAE. He saw cultural ties with European Frontier as ''useless'', and later on would try to start somewhat similar to a cultural revolution.

He also was an underground member of youth socialist wing for a while, but then he went to the opposite side, and betrayed his former allies. However, some say, that he never abandoned some tenets of socialism himself.

Policies

One of his target was royalists - although they were weakened, they still had a relatively strong presence in Canada. Trenton ordered to exterminate any possible resistance, and often performed raids in royalist houses. Partially, it was also one from the new directives from FAE itself - its government wasn't too fond of royalists either.

He also enacted draconic laws in the East - a Canadian province, in which most of the Francophone population was located. He declared English as only official language of Canada, and also suppressed, and executed many disloyal Quebecois. However, his successor cancelled some of his previous laws, and French became an official language in the East again. However, his successor still tried to look around for potential dissent.

However, at the same time, he also was an active proponent of the decentralization model - he thought, that ''it would help to allocate resources better''. He also wasn't that fond of FAE's rule either.

Later life, and death

Trenton was described as ''one of the most capable men'' by Carter, and often participated in charity as well. Despite that, his iron fist character still left a partially negative image in the eyes of citizens - not exactly because of that, but because he used it in order to severe the ties with British, and move towards FAE, as back then, Canadians still felt closer to the Britain.

Like Swanson, Trenton also died due of an illness. But unlike Swanson, who fought a long battle against it, Trenton got taken out rather by a surprise - he was reading a document in his room, when he suddenly started to feel cold, although it was summer back then. He managed to call a doctor, and other members of the Party hoped, that he would recover, and be back again after a few weeks. However, fever turned into a hyperpyrexia, which eventually took away Trenton's life. He got wounded a few days before that, and probably got an infection through the wound, but he didn't pay that much attention to that back then.

Legacy

Unlike some other SC's reformers, Trenton's legacy is viewed in a typically more negative light, especially between the few remaining royalists. His successor tried to repair the old ties with British, and slowly move away from FAE, and angered Tom in the result. However, eventually he was forced to do the same thing as Trenton did, because Tom threatened to cut the support to Canada, if he would do otherwise.

However, his support for decentralization model is a thing, that saved him from falling into a completely negative image - under that model, Canadian provinces had even more autonomy, and were able to form cautious ties with the Federation.

Passos was born in São Paulo, and in his childhood, he often visited Amazon rain forests.

He went to a religious school, so he also received religious education, along with normal education. However, later on, he still would turn out to be one of the reformists, although most of his teachers were for keeping the current direction, and mostly were from the conservative Integralist wing.

He worked as a clerk, before he got elected by the Party in Party's elections. At first, he was surprised, that he even was picked, but then he started to put reforms on the table.

Policies

One of Passos achievements is the improved Pan-American relations. He also ordered to build an extra part of the road in Panama, in order to connect both Americas with a road lane.

Passos also established self-governing native regions in South America - partially to decrease the burden of ruling over places such as Amazon Basin, and partially due of his respect against indigenous peoples. In fact, later on, Carter inspired from Passos in his ''Native Land act''. At the same time, many of the Latino governors were given more autonomy as well, so it could be said, that it was a reconstruction of system as a whole.

Similarly to Trenton, he purged the remaining Brazilian royalists. However, he was a bit more lenient, and rather focused on reformation of the system as a whole, by allowing some from the left wing to participate, and gradually abandoning anti-socialist stance. Still, after his death, things became a bit harder for socialists again, as some of the more conservative Party members regained their power.

Later life, and death

Although Passos was well liked between many people, there were also many, which hated him, primarily the more conservative members of Party, who disagreed with his reforms, and those, which were against his Native governance act. There were many assassination attempts against him, but most of them were prevented.

One of them turned out to be lethal, though. When he was giving a speech in Plaza Bolívar square, Peru, an assassin from the crowd put out an AMT Hardballer pistol, and shot him from the back. Although guards, and crowd itself put assassin down quickly, Passos was already seriously injured, and died shortly after. Some say, that his last words were ''May God have
mercy on such a coward's soul!''. Later on, assassin was sentenced to death, and it was found out, that assassination was linked to conservative members of the Party. However, all of the conservative wing wasn't purged, because assassination was planned by a single group of people, not the wing as a whole, and some of its members were shocked about the assassination.

Legacy

Passos is well liked between Indigenous peoples of South, and North America, due of his Native governing act policies, which put more power in their hands. Also, Passos as a whole helped SC to become more lax against Indigenous peoples, and this model eventually spread into the rest of the Commonwealth. Local Latino governors also were granted more autonomy, which appeased them as well.

He is also liked a lot between common people, and in Party, due of his populist rhetoric. Even most of his opponents respect him, and were shocked, when he was shot. Passos successors want to make sure, that his policies are continued.

His reforms on Integralism shook not only the local parties, but SC's system as a whole - they started to move further away from the right, and now described themselves as ''syncretic''.

He was born in Wilderness town, in a religious middle class family, so religious values were taught to him, when he was a little kid already. However, religion wasn't that important to him, and he wanted to rather get into the military, just as many other young people in his age.

In university, he studied law, however, and wanted to be a lawyer. But he was conscripted in the army, and served a long time into the African front. When he returned back, however, he started to work as a lawyer.

Later on, Rynold started to meddle into bigger politics, and with help of political alliances, backstabbing, and cold-bloody behavior, he managed to get his way to leader's position in leader's elections, when previous leader died.

Policies

There was an urgent need between a direct transportation network between Cape Town, and Luanda, in order to transport troops better. Not only that, but railroads also had to be repaired, because they were in a dreadful state, when Rynold started to work on them. It could be said, that repairing the railroad was harder, than building a new line. However, under Rynold, work went well, and railway lane was repaired, and completed 5 years after the work was started.

He, similarly to many other governors, sought to reform the current Party's condition, and supported syncretic policies. Syncretics were a faction in South Africa way before Rynold, but they really took off only under his reign. Also, his support for paramilitaries helped him to hold into power as well. In the end, though, they were also his downfall.

However, there was still growing discontent with Rynold's actions in the government, and a group of generals and officers, along with Party's old guard, and a few paramilitary units, planned a coup against him, in order to stop the reforms, which at this point seriously challenged the South Africa's previous system. Rynold managed to flee the Cape Town for Namibian deserts, but coup participants had already taken over, and he continued to hide in Namibia, until he made a contact with a few units from FAE, and convinced them to aid him at counter coup, because amount of his reform supporters still was high. Basically, counter coup happened with the blessings of Supercomputer Tom.

Later life, and death

Despite his impeachment, Rynold was the one, who laughed the most in the end - later on, a group in the Party, which was a follower of Rynold's ideals, seized control, and even invited him back to being ruler again. Rynold refused the offer, because he didn't want to be a ruler anymore, but still remained as an advisory of the government, and with his power, he theoretically was the actual leader anyway.

Rynold died from natural causes in 2035, in Cape Town. Some say, that in his late years, he, along with his friends, extensively played a card game, named Klaverjas, and that he had almost no interest about politics left.

Legacy

Although Rynold ruled only for 8 years - the shortest period from all of reformers, his influence wasn't small either - for paramilitary commanders like Adiel, he was a stepping stone towards more power. He also improved the infrastructure of South Africa, and put money into other public works.

Renier mostly portrays Rynold in neutral-positive light, although he criticizes him a few times as well. However, Rynold is less liked between the populace of Native Africans, and even Renier's African partners in the north, and South Africa itself dislike him.

Carter was born in Rhode Island, from where he studied agriculture at first, but later on he was offered a place in Party's reformation wing, due of his accomplishments - back then, SC was already undergoing a process of reformation, and Carter supported the reforms.

Of course, he also got conscripted, as another fight broke out in disputed zone, but there he saw, how catastrophically bad the FAE's army was. When he returned home, he also was faced with the devastating effects of low literacy rate. He promised to ''make sure, that most of the children in SC can read, and that army isn't just thrown into the meat grinder''.

Policies

One of the first Carter's policies was to fix the horrendous state of SC's military - in this case, Supercomputer Tom helped a lot. Brand new officers were recruited, while corrupt, old military structure was being replaced. Of course, it took many years, and army reform was completed only after Carter was dead already, but in the end, it was one of the things, that tipped situation in favor of SC. He also completed the regional reform in USA, finalizing the ''state merging'' policy, which was a policy even before the Carter's rule, but was completed under him. End goal merged the 48 mainland states into 9.

His mass literacy campaign was also one of his biggest accomplishments - work productivity increased in the long run, as literate workers were more productive workers as well, and society couldn't just run well with only farmers. Of course, he still kept an iron fist approach in terms of allowed literature. He also funded space program as well, because ''He understood, that SC couldn't survive on Earth forever, and that it would eventually need to expand in space, or collapse.'', according to Tom's words.

It is highly possible, that without him, reforms would be way slower, and SC perhaps would have fallen into the trashbin of history.

Later life, and death

Carter kept a strong grasp on the country for about 40 years, and was always active in the politics, and ensured, that reforms were actually put in place. Some described him as a ''benevolent king in President's clothing'', while some accused him of being a harsh ruler. However, in his last life years, his position was starting being reduced to a mere figurehead, but Tom took more and more matters in his hands by every day.

Carter passed away peacefully in Neo Washington in 2020. He was able to see the fruits of his reforms, and in a last wish ensured, that new leader from now on will be Tom. Carter might perhaps even be the last human president of America, and SC. (However, almost all the rest of SC is ran by human rulers, and even Tom has a human secretary, which takes some matters in his hands.)

Carter also used his influence later on, to expose the faults of previous party's leaders, especially the first ones, and the fact, that many loyal party members were executed in past due suspicion about dissent. That caused a large scandal between conservative party's members, and Carter's supporters. His period of rule was something similar to perestroika, although not entirely.

Legacy

Carter is often regarded as ''One of the most important national heroes of 21th century'', and his popularity has reached a level of personality cult - there are a lot of his posters on streets, or in houses. He is often regarded as the ''man, who saved SC''.

Due of his reforms in army, he has a fair amount of popularity between militarists, especially new recruits. A lot of the working class people support him as well, due of his mass literacy campaign, and program of trying to improve the working conditions.

It was also considered to put Carter's face on the Mount Rushmore, but in the end, it was decided, that a simple monument will be built in Neo Washington, as Carter himself was simplistic, and would be against it.

Knowledge about his first years is pretty vague, and more info starts to appear only in his study years. However, it is known, that he was born in Norwich, in an upper class militarist family, and that he probably spent most of his school years there.

At first, he studied in army's academy, and wanted to be an aviator, because his parents were aviators as well, and he actually was sent to a squad, that regularly patrolled the straits of Normandy. From there, he saw the other coast - France. After that, he started to become curious, what might be on the other side of the strait. Eventually, he started to grow sick and tired from the war, and wished, that one day, Europe would finally be united again. It could be said, that his time in aviation set the seeds for his ideas.

Policies

One of Swanson's biggest achievements is actually a concept - a federation of Europe. Swanson thought, that ''Together, Europe will be stronger, rather than divided'' (He also is said to be a large fan of phrase ''United we stand. divided we fall'') , and wrote a detailed plan about his federation, including things as army, economics, administration, etc. However, on paper, it would rather function like a ''decentralized confederation''. Although he didn't live long enough, to see his idea realized, it still left an impact to SC's foreign policy, and decisions.

Swanson also was described by Carter as the ''most progressive man in the British Isles'' - he has been described to have some liberal ideas Just as much as SC allows to have, of course. However, Swanson was still pretty conservative, and was cautious about the progress, and he still couldn't be described as a progressive.

Similarly to Passos, Swanson's political reform let a few socialists in the government. Some from the underground organizations became legal party branches, and Swanson made concessions to some authoritarian socialists. However, Swanson wasn't fond of every socialist, and he disliked libertarian socialists in particular, so they still were suppressed under his rule.

Later life, and death

John had fought against cancer for a long time. When he aged, his condition became worse. Once he felt so bad, that he decided to resign from his position. Not only that, but he also suffered from a few smaller illnesses, which weren't that bad on their own, but in combination with cancer, weakened the immunity system in the long run, and hurt the health.

In 2033, Swanson finally passed away, after long fighting on political scenes, skies, and against diseases. His death date was declared as day of mourning by the Party.

Legacy

His ideas, and proposals of the Federation, and united European Army were later on tried to put into practice by Kayden, who often calls John as his ''ideological successor''.

John is viewed positively by a few socialists in SC as well, as they now were allowed to participate in the government. However, those were only a selected few, and most of them remained underground, and staunchly against him. His own party views that decision in a mixed light.

John was also one of the most active supporters for progress, and has earned a fair amount of supporters between the less conservative members of the Party, and has a sizeable amount of fame between other local movements in Europe too. Some from the more conservative members criticize that, though, and there are heated debates about his legacy.
