Nolan Esteban Riveau is an Ossinian politician, lawyer, and journalist who served as the President of Ossinia, having been elected in July 2020 following the military operations which overthrew the country's dictator Martin Saint-Yves, and serving until his resignation on 1 February 2023. As the first democratically elected president since 1983, Riveau has been referred to as the "father of New Ossinia" and has been credited with reintroducing civil rights and political freedoms to the Ossinian population. A member of the social-democratic Freedom Party, Riveau has led efforts to involve Ossinia in international politics and has overseen the removal of sanctions by the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
Riveau was born in Périnnois in 1944 to a wealthy family. His father, a supporter of Ossinia's first democratically elected leader Erico Gaierry, was killed in the 1983 rebellion which ousted Jean-Noël Anouilh and installed Jacob Plantier as the leader of the country. Riveau and his family left the country for Rio Palito, where they lived for the next three decades as Riveau worked as an attorney for Anouilh in exile and as a correspondant for the Tofino Times. After the Zamastanian military campaign ended and Devin Fougurere was installed as interim-President, Riveau returned to assist restructuring and establishing a new government.
