Tyler Kordia was a Zamastanian politician and economist who served as the 24th President of Zamastan, succeeding President Elias Blanco in the 1936 election. He remains the longest serving president from the Green Liberal Party at 10 years. Kordia is most notably known for being the "calm-talking president" whose administration successfully guided the Zamastanian economy through and out of the 1934-41 economic crisis. He fulfilled many of his campaign promises built around economic stances, including the re-institution of federal jobs that ultimately boosted pre-World War manufacturing and the dismantling of monopolies in corporate consolidation. His administration offered protectionist status to Elborra, widely attributed as being the key turning point in Zamastanian influence expansionism. Kordia held a strong public support for women's rights, and under his administration Maddison Horton became the first female Secretary of State.
In 1945, he used his prominence as a economic and influential leader to gain popular support to invade Gladysynthia in the First Danaska War, which ultimately ended in Zamastanian land gains in the Tariel Heights and Danaska range. However, he did not ask for Congressional approval, and as the major losses from the war became clear his popularity fell. Kordia lost his sixth reelection bid in 1946 to Marvin Gaviria, who ended up utilizing many of Kordia's job-making policies. Kordia passed away in 1982 at the age of 95, but not before creating the Kordia Foundation, one of Zamastan's largest foreign aid, nonprofit organizations that reaches nations all over the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
