David J Roud

The current Prime Minster of Roudland, David Roud happens to be only the 4th Prime Minster the country has had since 1734 who shares the name of the nation. This is coincidence; Roudland got its present name after a standardisation of its spelling in 1549, when it changed from Roauldland. This name was that of the Roauld dynasty, who ruled autocratically from 768AD until 1532AD.

David J Roud was born in 1980 to a working class family in lower Retroit, and attended Polston Primary, Falmere High and Carnster Grammar School. At 18, he was conscripted into the Mobile Infantry as part of Roudland's national service programme. After earning the rank of Corporal during training, he commanded an 8 man infantry squad in the 139th Mechanised Infantry Reserve Corps. He briefly saw combat when deployed to the 3rd Army Task Force that secured peace in Abbayash during the civil war there in 1999. His unit was involved in numerous battles during the 6 week campaign to restore peace to the country, and he recieved the Roudland Army Medal and Conduct Medal for Valour during his time in the country.

After leaving the Mobile Infantry, Roud attended Roston Military College to read International Conflict and Politics. He was awarded a II:I, and joined the Centre Conservative Party straight from College. After two years in the party, he won the leadership competition and lead the party to victory in the 2004 general election.
