==Presidency==

===Election===
Anina was chosen as the {{G-PA}}'s candidate in the [[Gylian presidential election, 1991|1991 presidential election]]. She won a plurality of first-preference votes, the first PA candidate to do so in a presidential election, and defeated the [[Conservatism in Gylias|conservative]] candidate Şea Eneþi in final preferences by 50,8% to 49,2%.
 
She would go on to win re-election in [[Gylian presidential election, 1995|1995]], [[Gylian presidential election, 1999|1999]], and [[Gylian presidential election, 2003|2003]].
 
===Exercise of office===
Anina established a close relationship with the [[Mathilde Vieira government]] — the fact that both Mathilde and Anina came from Antánas providing some amusement to the public and [[Media of Gylias|media]].
 
She was an energetic and high-profile president, exercising her right to address a message to Gylians directly the most frequently after [[Reda Kazan]]. She chose to promote {{wpl|environmentalism}} and {{wpl|volunteerism}} as president — the former proving an apt choice due to the influence of the Gylian {{wpl|environmental movement}} and [[Aishwarya Devi]]'s consumption-reducing policies.
 
She was known for her extensive domestic and foreign visits, and was strongly in favour of using the presidency's ceremonial duties to enhance [[Foreign relations of Gylias|Gylian foreign relations]]. She made official visits to [[Akashi]] and [[Delkora]] to support fellow [[Common Sphere]] members who had been affected by the [[neoliberal conspiracy]].
 
She led the commemorations on the 40th anniversary of the [[Liberation War (Gylias)|Liberation War]] ending in 1998. She delivered a widely-acclaimed speech emphasising the great suffering of Gylians during the Liberation War and the importance of preserving the [[Free Territories (Gylias)|Free Territories]]' ideals and legacy.
 
Her 31 December 1999 address to Gylians on the eve of a new millennium was also widely commended.
 
===Senate nominations===
She expressed support for political reforms within the bounds of her office, and welcomed the transformation of the [[Gylian Senate|Senate]] into a {{wpl|sortition}}-based body. She was the first president to nominate eminent Gylians for a Senate term.
 
She repeatedly nominated [[Margot Fontaine]] to non-consecutive terms, and [[Ludmila Canaşvili]] to two non-consecutive terms. Ludmila's last term, from 1 March to 1 June 2002, served as a substitute for Margot, who had died before she was due to start a new Senate term.
