[Imperial Esplanade]

Btw can i make my character Turkish?

Turkish-descent is fine, but we try to avoid characters of other nations - unless they are a diplomat.

Nationally or Ethnically?

[Vaspir]

GOP supermajorities in both. Fragile in the Senate, may be lost

Yes, but not in rapid succession

Start off with one character, and add more as you go along/are able to. That seems to be the best strategy.

Er, that's not right

I'm planning the Hook replacement. Hook will join the army; he's too ridden in scandal to be taken anywhere.

Hm, I was thinking it was Pro's updated graph as posted by Xath. I presume he hasn't made it just yet in that case. At any rate, it's a work-in-progress.

Biography:
Chuck Kalmar was born in 1966 to Arpad Kalmar (father) and Hajna Varga (mother) in South Dakota. Arpad, a native Hungarian, immigrated to America in 1957. As a child, Arpad experienced WWII as well as the Soviet takeover of the country afterwards. In the 1956 Revolution, Arpad joined as an infantryman and fought against the Soviets and government forces. After the loss in November, Arpad escaped and hid in the rural regions of Hungary before fleeing to America. Prior to this he and his family were sheep farmers. He lived in New York City but hated city life. After meeting his future wife, Hajna (an American-born Hungarian). They married in the Catholic church and moved to South Dakota to start their own sheep farm. Hanna sewed all the wool, cooked the meals, and kept the house in order while Arpad did all the manual labor.

With a son and a daughter before them, Chuck was born in 1966. He lived on the farm his whole teenage life. He was homeschooled by his mother and older siblings (never attending formal school once in his life). He stayed on the farm until he was 29. To supplement for the lack of needed hands, Arpad hired a few Mexican immigrants to help. In 1988, due to the fact that Arpad refused to increase their wages due to their own financial situation, 3 Mexican workers in the middle of the night took pitchforks and other tools and slaughtered Hajna in her sleep. Sleeping in another room as per usual, Arpad heard the noise and took the loaded shotgun right next to his bed (which he always kept) to see what was the commotion. Seeing his wife dead, without thought, Arpad murdered the 3 workers by shooting them all. After 14 months of court cases and hearings, Arpad Kalmar was sentenced to 20 years in jail for murder. The murder made airways throughout the nation, sparking debate about immigration and President Reagan's amnesty for illegal aliens two years earlier. Despite his efforts, Chuck could not do anything about his father's sentence. For the next 3 years, Chuck was an alcoholic mess. Only until he had the help from his local priest and family would he recover.

From then until 2013, Chuck has married, had 5 kids of his own, visited his father in prison every Sunday, be the caretaker of his father's farm, and help campaign for Ross Perot and the Reform Party in his own state due to their Anti-Immigration and Populist stances. He has even met Ross Perot in person who thanked Chuck's help for aiding him in South Dakota in 1992. In 1998, Chuck was tapped by the Reform Party to be their nominee for governor, but he respectfully declined because he had to "take care of his children and family first and foremost". Despite declining to become the nominee, Chuck unintentionally remained in the political spotlight for his anti-immigration stances and advocacy against "corrupt money whores" (politicians) in Washington D.C. In 2010, a year after his father's release from prison, Jared Uber (GOP) ran and won the race to become the state's governorship. His "Christ-like" stances on letting "God-fearing" immigrants enter the country, moderate gun control, and average Republican economic views infuriated Chuck to the point where in 2013, he announced his candidacy for governor. Running on a strongman-type campaign, promising to kick out all illegal immigrants, pro-agrarian subsidies, uphold "national conservativism", expand infrastructure within the state, and expand upon the use of South Dakota's resources to attract new businesses here. Pulling a Lincoln Chaffee by siphoning both Republican and Democratic votes, Chuck won with 46% of the vote.

Since his election, he has worked tirelessly to fulfill his promises. He has signed executive order after another regarding illegal immigration and hiring illegal immigrants as well as tirelessly working with the State Legislature to restore South Dakotan infrastructure (roads, factories, bridges, etc.) and create more subsidies for small-farmers (both paid through an increase of the sales tax to 7.5% and the cigarette tax to $2.015). He uses executive orders frequently to fulfill his promises.
Other Info:
- It is believed that his father taught him to hate socialism/ communism as well as Turks (in effect, Muslims as a whole)
- He has been self-described as a National Conservative. Described by third-party news sources as a "Cultural Nationalist" and "Neo-Fascist" (the latter much rarer)
- During his time as governor, he has forcefully removed illegal immigrants using the state police
- Is a traditionalist Catholic
- So far as governor, unemployment has decreased from 3.5% to 2.1%

Egazarian is much much more moderate, and even beyond the politics, the background is quite different too (with farming as the exception)

I found it whilst looking to order a Will Ferrell movie on Amazon.

Don't ask, because I am just as much confused as you are as to how that leap was made.

The chances that the Progs have a net gain of Governorships in 2018 is around 5%

Nah, it's dependent on each state. They have good chances of success in some, while others (most), not so much
