Professor Gethman Tormian (born 1 December 1955) is the foremost economist within the Pontanore and is regarded as the father of Caropsyne Economic Theory. He has served as Economics Minister both during the final years of Fostana Rule and over 6 Premierships. Tormian is one of the most respected members of the government and civil society, representing one of the 'meritocratic' placements of successive cabinets.
He grew up in a predominant Fornænda family where his father was a banker and his mother was a doctor at a local hospital. He blew away his lecturers during his primary and secondary education receiving first honors. Tormian showed exceptional skill in mathematics and was offered a full scholarship to the Imperial University of Fornænda (now known as the University of the Pontanore). He obtained his doctorate in economics in 1980 and would lecture for several years before being tapped as the Fostana's Economics Advisor by Chair Rolmand Roth in 1985. Future Premier Miria Seranoda was one of his students.
It would begin a thirty-five year long career in Government. Following the end of Fostana Rule in 1993, his extensive knowledge would prompt Phodric Dormond to appointment as minister. He would also serve under his successor Haldric Maldian, and was critical of both of them for their policies. Gethman was present during the Siege of the Pontiana where he sustained injuries during the Damosca attack. Miria Seranoda became Premier in the aftermath and outlined an wide-ranging socialist policy agenda. Tormian reconnected with his former student and offered to serve in her cabinet. He then set in motion the development of a mixed economy with an extensive welfare system, where the State would retain major assets in the name of the people. His Plan continues to be official policy to this day despite criticism from the Liberty Party.
Upon Ilmer Yutrias's ascendence to the Premiership, Tormian formally retired from the Economics Ministry and was succeeded by his deputy Garel Tandetta who was also responsible for running the Economic Development Authority. Gethman Tormian was appointed to the Fostana on 10 September 2020 for his contributions on developing the nation's economic fundamentals and the guiding the Pontanore State of Euvodora's economic boom.
