Douglas R. Granite is the 30th President of the Federation of Atlesia. An outspoken Constitutionalist, Granite played a pivotal role in developing the coalition that would eventually grow into Atlesia's National Conservative Party, which ultimately won him the Presidential nomination in 1934. A Marine veteran of the Great War, Granite served in fierce frontline combat, including the famous Battle of Bois Tordus, where the 5th Marine Brigade earned its reputation as a fierce, unyielding fighting force.
After the war, Granite spent a number of years as a carpenter's apprentice, but ultimately decided to run for state government as a member of the Constitutionalist Party in Montgomery. Serving just one term, Granite broadened his horizons in 1929 when he ran for the Federal House of Representatives, and won. As a rookie in national government, Granite quickly gained close allies in both the House and Senate, and during his time as Representative, led a movement to rally right-leaning politicial parties in government and develop a standardized platform. This would eventually lead to the formation of the National Conservative Party in 1933, of which Granite is credited as a 'founding father'.
At the helm of the Federation's national conservative movement, which advocated Atlesian Exceptionism and staunchly opposed authoritarianism, lefism, and other similar movements, Granite won his party's nomination for president unanimously. Winning more than 60% of the vote, he was inaugurated on January 20th, 1935. In his short time in office, Granite and his National Conservatives have been hard at work, passing legislation designed to do everything from military expansion and rearmament, tax reform, and civil reform. The National Securities Act of 1935, signed into law on May 12th, works to utterly overhaul the Federation's decaying armed forces, while the Conscionable Taxes Act effectively banned the federal government from levying taxes on inheretinces, scrapped the property tax, and other similar taxes that were deemed 'unconscionable' in nature.
As of 1936, President Granite continues to speak about an Atlesian Century, working to unleash the energy of the nation and her people, and to build a better future.
