Born in 2024 to Aurelian-Carinansian parents living in the La Libertad District of São Lenoas as a member of the working class, he enlisted in the Serene Army aged 18 in 2042. During his military career, he participated in the Defense of Monteguerias and Koelasian Wars, ultimately rising through the ranks over 20 years. He accumulated a total of $450,000 from his salaries, money which was placed into a series of investments. It grew to $1.2M by 2077, and he campaigned heavily in the special by-election in 2077 to win the position, using most of this money. After winning the Lieutenant Governorship, he became a popular figure statewide, allowing him to secure the gubernatorial office only a year later.
As Governor of Embardoro, he embarked on an extensive policy of austerity, as the government was bleeding money in a government pension scheme. He reformed the corrupt state police in 2081, resolving the state debt crisis by 2085. Having balanced the budget, he didn't seek further nominations for the position, leaving the party. Later that year, he sold his Embardoro Veteran Housing before relocating to his hometown. He began popularising himself across the city, ultimately gaining control of the São Lenoas State League. A popular personalist figure, he gained the governorship despite being a third-party candidate.
As Governor of São Lenoas, he levied industrial taxes across the state, primarily impacting Lekeadian provinces. Although wildly popular in the city, many in the rest of the state disapprove of his authoritarian environmentalism, and urban prioritisation.
Early Life and career
DAN was born on 28 March, 2024, at the Lenistano General Hospital in São Lenoas, São Lenoas. He is one of 57 politicians since 1965 who attained the governorship of two or more states. He was born to an Aurelian-Carinansian mother and an Amalges father. His mother, Ana Paula Alves Rasgado (2003-2089), was also born in the La Libertad District of the city. DAN's father, Edgar Alves Laguna (2005-2069), was a married Amalges Carinansian from Patsejo, Tlanukoy. Alves' parents met in 2023 at a lecture on medicine at the São Lenoas State University, where his father was an advanced student on a scholarship. The couple married in Anáheiro, on 30 November 2023, months before Alves was born.
Military Career
In 2042, he enlisted as a member of the Serene Army, joining the 21st Mountain Artillery Company after two years of specialised training. At his first deployment, he was involved in the 2045 Battle of San Enrique in Monteguerias. His involvement in the Battle of Wexfordia resulted in his withdrawal from frontline combat as he sustained heavy injuries.
Because of his continuous service for two decades, the Serene Armed Forces offered him a retirement plan in 2062. All veterans were promised housing in new cities in Embardoro and Sierna Sur, as well as all the years of backpay in full. Consequently, he had $450,000 accumulated, and a two-bedroom riverside apartment in central Rosavenir.
Intermittent Period
Once he was no longer a member of the Armed Forces, he began a legal education funded by the Serene Armed Forces at the Revolutionary College of Oligi. He received a Bachelor of Laws in 2065, and a Master of Laws in 2068. He became a prominent civil defense lawyer at Elvira y Montreal upon graduating, and registered as a member of the PRC in 2067. He became a senior associate and a prominent political advocate in the party. In 2072, he published his Estado Novo Manifesto for Embardoro, a series of policies he intended to implement upon assuming the governorship. He failed to gain the nomination in the 2074 gubernatorial election to Saelices which allowed him to secure the nomination for the Lieutenant Governorship of Embardoro in the special by-election upon the death of Saelices. On 9 May 2077, he won the popular vote with 54.7% of votes.
Lieutenant Governorship
As the new President of the Embardoro State Senate, he tabled several new acts to further mining efforts. The 2078 Embardoro Fund Act established a new state wealth fund with a 43.4% stake in the state silver, tin, gold, tungsten, diamond ,and platinum mining operations, ultimately diversified into further industries. Its introduction facilitated the increase of the average disposable income by 23.1% since then.
While in the position, he also proposed the construction of a hydroelectric dam, which was completed in 2086. It has a power generation capacity of 5.6 gigawatts, meaning the state also has free energy.
Governor of Embardoro
While Governor of the state, he imposed austerity measures as a pension crisis began. He passed new bureaucratic regulations to reduce excess government waste. The budget was balanced by 2085. While carrying this out, he was engaging with local prosecutors in Matagoza to crack down on corruption in the state police force, by introducing harsh consequences for failure to abide by the rules, and strong incentives to report bribery. He left the position in 2086, moving back to his hometown of La Libertad in November. The next year, he registered as a member of the São Lenoas State League.
Governor of São Lenoas
He quickly gained control of the party and became a popular political figure across the city of São Lenoas, well-known for his political rhetoric. In 2088 he began his campaign for the Governorship, receiving the party nomination shortly afterwards. Upon winning with 51.2% of the vote, he imposed several wealth relief bills for the lower-class.
In 2093, he won the election with 50.9% of the vote. In 2097, he won the election with 53.4% of the vote. In 2101, he won the election with 65.6% of the vote. Currently, his approval ratings are similar. He is popular for reducing insurance premiums for most Lenistanos, approving new infrastructure in the state's most impoverished provinces. However, he is quite unpopular in Punto Banderas and El Cormira for his State Industry Tax and the establishment of toll booths on the Comarillo and Arrabal Maglev Tunnels, increasing polarisation in the state.
