Working on it

"We shall not sit idly as the despicable slanty-eyed Japanese bastards fund and provoke anarchy and foreign factors invent lies undermining our strong and clearly working democracy. I will end these riots by all means necessary using the powers the constitution has invested on me, and if required, which I'm pretty sure it will be, I will end the existence of these revolting wretches in our nation. In the following hours, I will give the necessary and desperately needed orders to our gallant armed forces, which I am sure they will comply in full" - Mario Stria, an excerpt from his controversial inauguration speech

Mario Sebastiano Stria (December 17th, 1958 - ?) is a Stanierian psychiatrist and politician who shortly served as the 9th President of Stanier before being deposed in the 2007 Carabiner Uprising. Stria has earned a place in the history books as a man with the worst kind of Government in the worst moment possible. Having directed a severely small cabinet due to his aim of turning Stanier into a totalitarian state with him heading it during a period of national civil revolts, in addition to his outspoken racism towards the Japanese-Stanierians, whom he describes as 'The disastrous offspring of slanty-eyed Invaders which came to ruin our glorious nation', and his total animosity towards the motherland of Stanier, Italy.


















Life prior Presidency
Stria was born in the relatively peaceful town of Forte Villa in the province of Tempestosa during the height of the war in Stanier. At this point Forte Villa was regarded as a small and insignificant outpost which was disconnected from the reality of the war. Stria's father, Paolo, was an emergency paramedic used to attend POWs and wounded soldiers from all factions of the war, from grunts of the FApLS, to Privates of the Allied forces, and the occasional Imperial Japanese runaway which couldn't take the war any longer. His mother was the head librarian of the Municipal Library of Forte Villa, which occasionally served as refuge for soldiers during sieges in other neighboring towns of Tempestosa, his mother used the time soldiers were staying in the library to teach them the local language in order to make their lives easier, being a multilingual woman herself.

As for Stria himself, since an early age he spent his days sheltered in the library. Learning how to speak, read, and write. Stria developed an interest for psychiatry, alongside the propaganda books of Benito Mussolini. Mario would study for hours a day, and then practice with the soldiers sheltered in the library, giving out free therapy sessions to whomever that might need them. Mario, due to his easy-going style of handling people, and willingness to listen and give out advice, grew up to be the town's best (And only) shrink.

Stria kept growing, and so did his knowledge. Having opened at age 16 a mental health clinic of sorts within the confines of the library, which was open to both victims of the war as well as soldiers fighting on it. During this time Stria developed a view of superiority about himself, as well having developed a hatred towards the Japanese soldiers and their descendants, even when they were runaways which did not want to fight anymore and just wanted a normal life, which was basically all Japanese soldiers which he got to have sessions with.

When the war ended, he was aged 23. And decided to have his qualifications validated by a prestigious and recognizable institution, and so, he sneaked into a boat full of American soldiers, which vouched for him when they landed in American soil as their psychiatrist, in order to have his knowledge on psychiatry tested by an American University. Colonels and Generals of the U.S Marine Corps eventually directed him to Harvard University, and after three tough years of trial and error, he achieved his goals and returned to his homeland, Stanier. Although with an American Green Card for returning at any time, a thing that he did frequently in order to not lose the privilege.

Stria continued to succeed in his profession, having turned into the psychiatrist of reference in Stanier. Slowly overtime, his sessions grew more and more expensive, but his patient success rate also escalated. In his opinion, justifying the price hikes. He also succeeded in the interpersonal ambit, having gotten married to Aquila Frontiera, a 22-year-old former patient of his, in 1996. He was 27-years-old then.

In 2006, using his information acquired from treating the rich and famous of Stanier, alongside its politicians. Launched a Presidential Candidacy for the upcoming election, and deliberately broke the patient-psychiatrist confidentiality agreements by publishing dozens of hundreds of documents detailing the many diagnostics and assertions he has made about their mental health. The slogan of his campaign was: "Let's make Stanier sane again". He was resulted elected with 53.2% of the ballot, though due to the controversies regarding legitimacy of the all electoral results since Antonio Sachelli (Who wasn't even named in Stria's mental health disclosures) assumed power, this is disputed.
Government and style of politics
Stria assumed power in the 17th of January of 2007. In the middle of a period of social unrest caused by the disclosure of corruption in the Stanierian electoral system, his controversial inauguration speech, in which he suggested the jailing and extermination of the Japanese-Stanierians as a whole, didn't make any favors to him either, as they turned majorly peaceful protests conducted by a minority into full-blown riots involving all racial sectors of the nation.

Stria's tenure is characterized by continuous attempts to establish a totalitarian system in Stanier, a cult of personality revolving himself, having dissolved The Commission for the National Well-Being and ordered the assassination of the incumbent Attorney General, in addition to widespread property expropriations, violations of human rights, and overall Governmental Corruption. Not to mention than a mere month into his tenure he had shoved Stanier into total economic collapse, leaving an inflation rate which stands to this day.

His term abruptly ended on the 7th of April of 2007, when he was deposed by Stanierian Carabiner Corps using tip-offs from the Stanierian Intelligence Agency, who were fed up with his orders to repress and kill political dissidents.
Policies
Due to the short length of Mr. Stria's tenure, his policies can be recounted using a simple list, and these are:

  • Declaration of a national emergency due to the ongoing mass civil unrest in Stanier, action which granted him supraconstitutional powers.

  • Dissolution of The Commission for the National Well-Being and the sanctioned assassination of the incumbent Attorney General, for attempting to remove him in a legal and non-violent fashion.

  • Mass imprisonment and extrajudicial executions of protest organizers, journalists, and political dissidents.

  • Mass expropriations of private companies, including the heart of the Stanierian economy, the Automotive Manufacturing industry. This action ended in a near-total economic meltdown.

  • Installation of a mandatory dress code for foreign citizens when outside of designated areas such as hotels and airports.

  • Attempted installation of a cult of personality revolving him.

  • De facto centralization of regional and local governments.

  • The creation of a secret police via technically disbanding the Stanierian Highway Police.

Personality
In stark contrast to the persona he displayed in official acts and speeches as the President of Stanier. Dr. Stria, as expected from a man in his profession, is an easy-going and rarely uptight man whom is always willing to listen to someone's problems and give them relevant life advice, in addition to being majorly charitable if a person is either close to him on in deep need, to the point of blindly (Well, not quite blindly, he first has some sort of lite therapy session before deciding whether to trust someone or not) giving away money or free therapy sessions. However, due to the fact that he intentionally broke patient-psychiatrist confidentiality agreements in order to get himself elected back in the day, he also appears to be a person that wouldn't think about it twice before stabbing someone in the back if the sacrifice is rewarded with greater gains. He is also quite narcissistic, seeing as his office is filled with posters and portraits of him and his family.
Personal Life
Stria, having been exiled from Stanier, now lives in Coral Gables, Florida, in the U.S. His practice is still open and quite regularly sees a steady influx of patients. Majorly war veterans and traumatized housewives. He remains married to Aquila Frontiera, and is a father of two daughters, one of which was born in 1999, being 15-years-old as of 2016, and another one born in 2003, she is 12-years-old as of 2016. He regularly plays golf and darts, and hosts a public radio show in which he takes takes calls from people in states of mental distress and tries to help them out in any way which he can. Also to note is that he has extremely mellowed with time. Apparently not caring much anymore about his claim to the Presidency of Stanier other than his usual remark explaining that he is still the president. Nowadays, he prefers to keep investigating the minds of war veterans and people of power alike, as to compare the trains of thought of those leaders who have served in the military, and those who haven't.
Trivia

  • Despite having been deposed nearly ten years ago from his post by the Stanierian Military, he still thinks of himself as the legitimate President of Stanier because his term never actually concluded, and does not recognize the authority or legitimacy of Sing Montemaggiore, the incumbent President.
