This article uses Auratian naming customs: the first or paternal family name is del Caserío and the second or maternal family name is Fernández-León.
Germán del Caserío y Fernández-León is an Auratian professor, economist and politician who has been serving as Premier of Auratia since June 2013 and leader of the Sotirian Federation since January 2013. He served previously as the country's Finance minister from May 2011 to June 2013 and Secretary of State for Pensions June 2007 to May 2011. He is a member of the Assembly of the People representing a constituency in the city of Palma, La Virtud. Ideologically, he identifies as a paternalistic conservative and Christian democrat.
Del Caserío was born on 4 August 1960 in Salida, a small village in the state of La Virtud. He graduated from the University of Villadad in 1982 and went on to pursue his Doctor of Philosophy in economics at the University of Montecara. In Montecara, del Caserío met María Gómez, another Auratian expatriat studying at the University. The couple married in 1986 and returned to Auratia. Del Caserío worked as an associate professor at the University of Puerto del Rey, rising to the rank of provost in 1995. Del Caserío's career in education was stymied when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer in 1998. Although he recovered, del Caserío resigned from his post and went on to run for a position in the city council of Palma. Del Caserío succeeded and was elevated to the position of deputy mayor in 2001. He served in that capacity until he was elected to the Assembly of the People, the lower house of the Auratian Senate, in 2005.
Del Caserío would remain an unkown but loyal backbencher under the premiership of Antonio José Menéndez. After Menéndez was forced to resign following a series of sex scandals, del Caserío was made Secretary of State for Pensions under Premier Walter García. Despite being a relative unknown to the public, del Caserío reportedly had a very good working relationship with PM García, who elevated him to the office of Finance minister in 2011. When García announced in 2012 that he would not be seeking reelection in the 2013 Auratian Assembly election, he nominated del Caserío to take his place as leader of the Sotirian Federation. Del Caserío won an internal party election and was made party leader on 1 January 2013. Del Caserío would go on to win the 2013 election, becoming premier on 17 June 2013. Del Caserío was reappointed to his position following his victory in the 2017 Auratian Assembly elections.
As premier, del Caserío has continued his predecessor's iniatives to distance the Sotirian Federation from lobbying by the Solarian Catholic Church and has pushed the party to adopt a more secular agenda. He has been described as an economic moderate and social conservative, supporting pro-life iniatives and legislation. Del Caserío has been criticized for being among the most anti-LGBT politicians in Euclea. Although he supports the Euclean Community, del Caserío's administration has pushed for greater economic involvement with countries outside of the Euclozone, particularly with Auratia's former colonies in the Asterias.
Early life and education

Germán del Caserío was born in Salida, a small farming village in the state of La Virtud, Auratia, on 4 August 1960. Curiously, del Caserío shares his birthday with Héctor Alvear, the country's premier during the Great War, who was born 76 years before del Caserío. His father, Eugenio del Caserío, was a wheat farmer and native Salidan. Anna Fernández-León, del Caserío's mother, is a former school nurse.
