Miria Seranoda (born: 24 February 1952) was the 3rd Premier (Pontissiana) of the Caropsyne Pontanore, the first woman to ever hold the office, and the first independent candidate to have won a Pontanore Elections in over a century. During Haldric Maldian's Premiership, Seranoda was appointed as Administrator-General of Euvodora. She is currently a member (Pantolara) of the Fostana. Seranoda is regarded as the most important Caropsyne politician in modern history.

Early Years and Personal Life

Miria Seranoda was born on 24 February 1952 into a middle class Fornænda family, the daughter of an acclaimed psychiatrist, Dr. Jalmand Seranoda. She excelled in school, receiving a first honors from her local Fostitio. Seranoda would go onto attend the Imperial University of Fornænda (now known as the University of the Pontanore) to obtain her doctorate in international relations. She successfully defended her thesis in 1976. Economics Professor Gethman Tormian was one of her lecturers while she was there and he encouraged her to enter politics.

Taking his advice, she quickly became a staunch critic of the Fostana's rule over the country and their austere policies. Seranoda would attack them for the lack of democracy. She would participate in numerous pro-democracy protests and lead one of the largest movements in Fornænda. Her opinions would cause her to receive many threats from the powers of the time, and was certainly being watched by the Damosca. She would meet her husband Larmas during a week-long strike outside a factory complex on the outskirts of the capital in 1981. They would have a daughter two years later.

Fostana rule began to collapse at the start of 1990 due to a number of controversies involving improper member conduct and damaging social policies placed upon the country. In 1991, the Communist Party unleashed a nationwide uprising to overthrow the upper chamber and introduce a marxist state in its place. Seranoda and her husband participated in the 200,000 person gathering in the center of Fornænda. The Damosca had been deployed to put an end to the uprising. She and several others were able of avoid being arrested. Protests broke out in Ariatra the following year - she also participated, and even had an opportunity to speak in front of the crowd. The military had been ordered by the Fostana to end to the protests but when they arrived, they said they would not carry out their orders and instead joined the protesters.

The Fostana, led by Chair Roth, had no alternative but to accept the demands of the crowd. He announced the Pontiana would be reopened during the early months of 1993 and democracy would be reintroduced. Seranoda registered as a member of the Moderate Party and ran for the Pontiana seat for her district in Fornænda. She easily won the election in April 1993.
