James Harrison Johnson Sr. (2 September 1825 – 22 November 1905) was a statesman and founding father of the United Kingdom of Tomikals. As the nation’s first Prime Minister, he played a central role in the independence of the Ilumeic Archipelago and in shaping the early political framework of the country.

Born in 1825 in Manchester, United Kingdom, Johnson was the eldest child of Jackson and Juliana Johnson. When he was five years old, his family emigrated to the British-controlled Ilumeic Archipelago, where Johnson would spend much of his life. As he grew older, he became increasingly invested in the idea of independence for the territory, envisioning a sovereign nation free from British rule.

By 17 September 1864, Johnson’s dream of independence was realized. He was a key figure in the negotiations with Britain, advocating tirelessly for the creation of the United Kingdom of Tomikals. Following independence, Johnson decisively won the nation's first election, defeating Allan Leierman to become the inaugural Prime Minister. His tenure lasted for two terms, during which he laid the foundation for Tomikalian governance and economic development.

Johnson's political career saw its first major setback in 1872 when he was defeated by his rival, Leierman, leader of the Historic Party of Tomikals. Despite the loss, Johnson remained active in politics, serving as a Conservative Member of Parliament. However, in 1900, his party decided it was time for him to step down due to his advanced age.

James Johnson Sr. passed away on 22 November 1905 at his manor near Andreanapolis, surrounded by friends and family. He was 80 years old. His legacy endures as one of Tomikals’ most influential leaders, remembered for his pivotal role in achieving independence and guiding the nation through its formative years.
