Rune Nyström is an Ordennyan politician, currently serving in the Ordennyan Senate, previously serving as Deputy Prime Minister of Ordennya and Green Party leader. He began life as a high school Politics teacher, a job he used to pay for his Ph.D. Upon attaining his Ph.D in Economics, he became a Professor of Economics at the Vastdal School of Politics & Public Administration, where he wrote the widely-acclaimed book "Seeing Green". In 1992, he became the first elected Green Party MP for Oured North, before being elected Party leader in 1995. In each election that he led the Greens into, they increased their vote share and seat count, until he was appointed Vice President of Ordennya in the coalition government after the 2015 election. Following the death of his eldest child, he resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Green Party leader, stepping away from frontline politics, before being elected to the Ordennyan Senate as a Senator from Oured.
