Philipp Krone

Philip Krone was Coburan politician and chancellor.

Presiding Officer
His political carrier started at the age of 27 when he was nominated as PfI-candidate for the Presiding Officer election 2441. In first round he earned 31,98% and had to face a second round against Thomas Edwards, who achieved 19,66% ( DLP). He finally won with 60,18% of the votes.

After treatting a foreign diplomat in a harsh way he was set to hard critizsm, shortly before the next elections were to come. The PfI however sticked with him and nominated Mr. Krone again as their candidate.

In the campaigns he was attacked because of his previous behaviour and it seemed as the election was lost. However he was able to turn things around and make it surprisingly in second round, where he had to face Erik Von Witzland, who gained 24,99%. Krone achieved 24,45%. In the second round the Federalist Party called their members to vote for Krone, so that he could win the second round with 59,91% Although the majority of Coburan people liked his worked he could by Coburan Law not stand for a third term and ended being Presiding Officer in 2446.

Chancellor
His new political chance came, when chancellor Sabine Kramer-Ruf announced she wanted to retire from politics. Krone candidated at the party conference to be her successor as chancellor as party leader Kathrin Flemming rejected. So he was nominated to become new chancellor which he finally was elected by the assembly in 2447 with the majority of PfI,  CRP,  DLP, FP.

He led different coalition over 27 years, which makes him the chancellor who could stay in office longest. But his most important time was the Coburan Civil War from 2456-2458 in which he took the supreme command of the army. After this war he was able to continue ruling as chancellor for 18 years. Aged 60 he finally retired from politics, after a 33 years lasting great carrier.
