Goriath Moscana (born 11 August 1965) was the 5th Premier (Pontissiano) of the Caropsyne Pontanore and had been a member of the Pontiana since its reopening at the end of Fostana Rule in March 1993. He is currently a member (Pantolaro) of the Fostana and is a Major in the Caropsyne Army.
Early and Personal Life
Moscana was born in 1965 into a middle class family with a long history of military service in the city of Vindamarna located in the Astozarno of Marescana-Popenta. Unlike many of his peers, he didn't receive the greatest marks during his education but with hard work, Goriath would be granted high second honors. Though his family had monetary means to send him to university to continue his studies, he insisted in following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather by joining the Army.
He reported for basic training at Penzecca and upon completion, Moscana would be assigned to the 8th Thearean Infantry Corps. After one year, he showed promise and was given an officers commission. Soldiers under his command would be involved in crushing the Hermalas Socialist Uprising of 1992. At the start of 1993, he decided to run for the Pontiana upon learning that the Fostana would be reopening the lower chamber. He ran as a member of the reborn Moderate Party, winning 71% of the votes in his constituency. He would marry his wife Soria the following year.
Political Career
Member of the Pontiana
During Phodric Dormond's government, he would be appointed by the Executive Committee on serve on the Defense Select Committee and focused his attention on the activities of the Damosca. He hadn't resigned his military commission when he joined parliament and made Major in 1995. Dormond was forced to resign due to the Oil Crisis of 1996. His Defense and Interior Minister, Haldric Maldian succeeded him. With his rise to power, Moscana was elevated to the position of Defense Minister.
Despite being made Minister, he would quickly realize that he in fact had very little power to make decisions because of the intelligence service's influence over the armed forces. He spent much of his term on coordinating military resources and limited manpower to support the legitimate Government in Ardalia who were fighting nationalists in a devasting civil war. As the years went by, he became increasingly worried about the foreign policy positions that were being taken by Garel Thormond and the Premier including those directed at Curistan and nations aligned with them. Moscana was also worried that both Thormond and Maldian would put the Pontanore in a position where it would not honor its international commitments.
By early 2000, rumors began to spread that the Damosca was actively responsible for carrying out a series of bombings abroad in countries that were anti-Caropsyne, committing major attrocities in Jajiland in response to the JIF's rebellion, for supplying anti-Government forces in the Ardalian Civil War, and for coercing Maldian's Government into increasingly more dangerous foreign policy decisions. Recognizing the threat the intelligence service posed to Caropsyne democracy, he decided he could no longer cooperate with the Government and began building a secret political friendship with Miria Seranoda alongside his close ally Alza Permentanna. They, along with others, joined forces to bring an end to Maldian's Government. He was present during the events of the Siege of the Pontiana in mid-July 2000, where he protected the Executive Commmittee with a pistol he had managed to sneak into the building the week before.
Following the chaos of the Caropsyne Constitutional Crisis, Seranoda became Premier and he was made Interior Minister. Goriath changed his party affiliation as well. He would continue in this role under the Government of his political ally, Alza Permentanna. Ten years later, he would succeed her as Premier.
Premiership
After the Pontiana
During his five-year tenure, he would be dealing with an increasingly hostile world. In CY 5798, a senior official of Zilmo Caropso, Garel-Zarmas Maldrand, was abducted by the Jaj Independence Front in Jaj Ementa as he and his associates were finalizing a deal to add new land for the company to extract more oil. Goraith's Casmara made two attempts to free him and his colleagues but they both ended in failure, the second resulting in the death of 12 Casmara agents by J.I.F. fighters. Both the business community and the Pontiana called for his resignation. Alza Permentanna, his political ally, stood before the Pontiana and defended him. Maldrand and his associates would be released the following year after he had no choice but to pay off the J.I.F. The fallout from left him considerably weak for the remainder of his tenure. Throughout his entire government, he was constantly fighting with the Pontanore State of Euvodora, the liberal stronghold of the country, over the moderate counter-Pontanoresque policies he was enacting. Tensions had risen to such high levels in CY 5799 that Euvodora threatened to secede from the country entirely. Again Permentanna had to step in to save her ally and bring both the Government and the Euvodorian authorities to table. This would be a precursor to the rise of the Caropsyne Republic several years later and one of many instances where the concept of Federalism began to come out of the shadows.
He also attempted to dissolve of the Cadriana but that would not occur until Josc succeeded him. His biggest achievement is the reorganization of the police authorities by ending the Prelatory system and instituting the Astozarno system. During the last year as Premier, an economic recession began to hit the Pontanore, giving aid to the nationalist movement which was quietly festering in Polythia. Goriath was succeeded by Almas Josc. He ended his tenure in the Pontiana and proceeded to write extensively on the issues facing the Pontanore in a rapidly changing world. In recognition of his service, Ilmer Yutrias appointed him to the Fostana.
