Tokelian Republic Under Ameron

This is a small part of an entire history. For the full history see Tokelian Republic.
In 2752, the first president of the Tokelian Republic, Aesath Gadlim, died of old age. His presidency consisted of preserving the Tokelian Republic from outside influence, a very nationalist point of view. Nevertheless, his death called for elections to take place, as that is what the Tokelian Constitution dictates. However, the first signs of things to come, came to be. The Democratic elections were postponed, for internal problems. There were real concerns about corruption, as many of the present candidates were less than savory politicians. The Tokelian administration was made up of many delinquents, freed by the revolution. Them, and also relatively uneducated workers who had little experience with administering an interstellar republic. While these people proved successful in the field of battle as generals, the more official politicians of the administration did not trust their ability in political leadership. There was also a fear that any candidate could not give the republic the needed reconstruction it needed post-revolution. So the elections were postponed to a later date, so that the government can sort of the bad from the good.

This was a promising idea. The public was refreshed to know that the government was looking out for corruption. However, no set date was given for the elections, for they were just postponed. In replacement for Aesath, the Grand Councillor for the Tokelian Republic became President for the time being. The new President, President Ameron, was not as extreme as Aesath. He opened up trade talks with Alek, and in a year of his highly unofficial Presidency, had initiated a program headed by Alek to help repair the Republic. Ameron came to be popular among the people. Even though his presidency was temporary, he still repaired Tokelian society. He made many successful welfare programs to support families ruined by the revolution. Quality of life steadily improved, and the economy recovered.

Ameron also increased foreign trade. As previously stated, he had begun a rebuilding program with the Alekans, but Ameron also wished for greater external trade, seeing a lot of promise in it. The other United Nationals — who were beginning to to see Tokel as greater than the L.P.R — received Ameron’s calls graciously, and within two years of his temporary presidency, he had created a trade network with all of the United Nationals. As expected, the trade was very good for the Tokelian economy. It didn't boom, but it did improve.

If there is one thing to be noted so far, was that Ameron’s presidency has lasted two years. Two years seems like a long time to root out relatively small corruption. Ameron was contempt with his place, and he never planned on leaving it. Ameron also had good connections in the Tokelian administration, along with a good reason to stay as President (he was doing great for the nation). The two years went by, with the question of when these postponed elections would take place. The elections would not take place for a very long time.
