Government and politics of Kalistan

This section is devoted to the in game history of Kalistan, as opposed to fabricated pre-game history or RPs. It is based off of information dating as far back as Kalistan's founding in 2039. Not all the information stretches back that far, however, so many timelines do not extend as far back.

Alphabetical Kalistani Heads of State
Abbas (PFK) 2336-2339

Mammoud Abbas ran against incumbant Chloe Davina (RFP) in 2342, and was upset by a narrow margin, leading to civil unrest and Davina's resignation.

Adlar-Ananto (RFP) 2509-2512, 2515-2521

M. Ananto (FM) 2245-2248, 2255-2258

P. Ananto (FM) 2184-2187, 2193-2199, 2202-2205, 2211-2214, 2217-2223, 2226-2232, 2235-2242

Pinocchio Ananto was by far the longest serving president of the Imperial Restoration Era, or any period of Kalistani history, with 34 years as president. His terms were typical of the time in that they were often nonconsecutive and spread out over an immense period. He holds the record by being crowned emperor on seven different occasions. He also holds a record for serving his terms over a period of 58 years, spread over two centuries.

W. Ananto (LPL, NOP) 2289-2304

William J. Ananto was with the Liberal Patriots' League while he was president, later on that party collapsed and he moved to the National Opposition Party, but was never elected with them.

Ananto-Holt (LCA) 2248-2251

Andreivich (IKP) 2039-2042

Pavel Andreivich was the first president of Kalistan, which was formed in 2039. Unfortunately, Kalistan's official pre-game history does not give Andreivich the distinction he deserves. According to the pre-game history, Andreivich's office had been in existance since 1924, and had first been held by Pickles Ananto (of the fictitious Federal Republican Party).

William Reynolds-Ananto I was a major player during the Imperial Restoration Period whether or not he was president at the time. His first term, which he served as William Reynolds, was before the imperial restoration. After the rights of candidacy were limited, Reynolds married into the Ananto family so he could continue running for president. He held office for a total of 22 years, in five segments of continuous rule spread over fifty years. While impressive, his contempory Pinocchio Ananto (FM) was more prolific in all those fields.

Spillane (LSDP) 2440

The only president in Kalistani history (excluding those before 2039) to have served as head of state during only one calender year. Stephen Spillane served for only a single month, in fact, by far the shorted term of any Kalistani president.

Ster (KCP) 2265-2268

Emma Ster broke the 74 year run of presidents who were members of the House Ananto. This had started during the Imperial Restoration, when the job was restricted to them, but outlived it until Ster's election in 2265. The last president not to be an Ananto was Amanda Girend (FM).

Stern (RFP) 2277-2289, 2292-2304

Roland Walker versaw the RFP's civil defense policy while president during the Crisis of 2342.

The immortal words of Alexis Zorbas, by far the most openly Greek president of the Libertarian Era, or any period of Kalistani history. "Let's Dance!"
