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 following the end of Fostana Rule in in April 1993. He is currently a member (Pantolaro) of the Fostana.

Current Life

Goriath Moscana was a long-serving member of the Caropsyne Pontanore's Pontiana, namely in areas pertaining to the national security of the Pontanore. He was the fifth Premier of the Caropsyne Pontanore and was appointed to the Fostana by Premier Ilmer Yutrias.

Moscana was first elected to the Pontiana and served as a quiet backbencher during Phodric Dormond's government. After his resignation and Haldric Maldian's rise to the Premiership, he was made Defense Minister. Goriath became increasingly worried about the foreign policy positions that were taken by Garel Thormond and the Premier and what the implications could have in regards to international commitments the Pontanore had made. Though ultimately he had very little power as Minister to make decisions due to the grip of the Damosca on the military. Eventually, he could no longer cooperate with the Government and began building a quiet political friendship with Miria Seranoda and joined her underground effort to end the government of Haldric Maldian. 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.

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.
