Eggman

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (exact date of birth unknown) is a Cleus Pristani politician, serving as president of Cleus Pristan since 2044 YTE.

Eggman has been often accused as a dictator, suppressing freedom of speech, and creating a cult of personality based around him and his technological advancements. Eggman is known of "eliminating" all political opponents, haters of his policies, LGBTQ+ people and activists, etcetera (dubbed "traitorous pigs"). His loyalists send them to jail for false accusations or even into exile.

Despite his tyrannical rule, Eggman is still a popular figure in Cleus Pristan. Many citizens view him as a hero, due to his advanced technological advancements and his willingness to stand up to tyranny. While Eggman is still highly controversial, he is still seen as a symbol of hope for the citizens of Cleus Pristan.

Early life
Eggman was born as Ivo Robotnik, the grandson of the brilliant scientist Professor Gerald Robotnik. In childhood, Robotnik looked up to his grandfather as a hero and believed him to be a great Overlander who had done his best to help mankind.

First term
Eggman won a snap election by a landslide and as such, he was elected president. Shortly after being elected, he introduced massive radical reforms to the country, and as such fixing the inequality and making it an economically prosperous state, and had gained support from allied countries such as Gominha.

These kinds of reforms are known as the "Sprawling Rebirth", which industrialized the country, but they polluted the environment of the country as a whole. Due to this, Cleus Pristan is the second most polluted country in Neapolia, only behind Hasnoecia.

In February 2047, Eggman introduced a new legislature that consolidated his power, heavily suppressed the parliament, and abolished the constitution. Thus, establishing a one-party despotic dictatorship. On May 17, 2047, he declared himself president for life and virtually banned all opposition parties.

On January 20, 2050 YTE, the country had gone to war with Sineoria over a border dispute which escalated.

Second term
On July 10, 2050, the presidential elections began, and nearly half of the population voted, according to state media.

Eggman declared victory in the election one day after the poll, and his win was later confirmed by the National Electoral Commission. The final results showed that Ivo Robotnik received 95.1 per cent of the vote, with opposition leader Angjelko Petrov 3.6 per cent, and the third candidate, Ilarion Sugarev, 1.3 per cent; the voter turnout was 96.6 per cent. The campaign, election day, and aftermath were largely peaceful, although an observer from Driuso raised concerns about intimidation of opposition supporters by the NRP. Petrov rejected the result of the election and also questioned the margin of victory, saying "Almost 100 per cent? That's not possible". He filed a petition at the Supreme Court to nullify the result, but was unsuccessful and he fled the country shortly afterwards, fearing that he would be arrested. The Driusonese observer also questioned the result, citing "numerous irregularities", but also describing the poll as a "positive step" in the country's history.

A constitutional amendment referendum in 2052, which gave Kagame the ability to stand for additional terms, also passed by similar margins.

Third term
Eggman was elected once again president in 2054, with 94.2% of the votes. During his third term, he launched the campaign Vision 2100. The purpose of this campaign was to reach "absolute wealth and spirituality" by the year 2100 YTE.

In 2055, former presidential candidate and exiled politician Angjelko Petrov, with support from Sineoria and Zestruecia, a former allied country who had broken ties with Eggman, recruited dissidents to launch Operation Un-Egg. Its purpose was to overthrow Eggman in a coup d'état and bring democracy back to the country. This plan however failed and it ignited tensions even more.

Fourth term
In the April 2058 elections, being once again won by Eggman by an outstanding 98.5%, Eggman became the longest-serving president in Cleus Pristanese history. These elections were met with alarm, as they were done a month after the outbreak of the Third Yenaulian War.

Due to Cleus Pristan joining the war against Jochaena, Eggman introduced "special powers" to stabilize the country during the war, but this ended up giving him more power.

Powers and abilities
Despite what his appearance might suggest, Eggman is an immense intellectual with an IQ of 300 (or even more). Having inherited his genius from a family of brilliant scientists, he possesses overwhelming scientific knowledge, his most well-known ability. Noted to be the world's greatest scientist and a true genius with robotics. Possessing a renowned authority and expertise on robotics, along with having an unparalleled mastery of robotic engineering and technological skills, he is a brilliant inventor. Additionally, if knowledge is interpreted as a parallel of power, Eggman's intellect alone makes him a very powerful individual.

As a testament to his expertise in robotics, Eggman has designed and engineered numerous weapons and devices that include the armies of foot soldiers known as Badniks. These range from basic Egg Pawns and animal-based robots to the more weaponized Egg Gunners and juggernaut-like Interceptors and Big Chasers.
