His Imperial Majesty Emperor Dymero Zerio Invisa is the first Emperor of The United Empire of Invisionize. Considered by some to be a political genius, in his short life, Invisa has been a king, a president, and a wartime leader during which he foresaw considerable changes to the country and government he has lead for more than two years.

Early Years

Dymero Invisa was born into a family with a history nearly as old as the inhabitation of Invisionize itself. Immediately prior to governmental reform that elected the monarch, the Invisa family held a 1,500 year long monarchial dynasty in the former Agnon Kingdom. For more information on that dynasty, please see the Agnon article.

At the age of eight, Invisa joined the Youth Governmental Guild, where he got the first taste of public service, working in groups with other members to form town ordinances for Pilmela that were primarily directed toward education and children's rights. Nearly 50% of children who attend this program go on to be actively involved in the Agnon government, and within a couple years of attendence in the program, it was clear Invisa was going to be one of these people. During his time in the guild, Invisa was part of several pieces of legislation to create programs that improved the quality of education for Pilmela children. Several of the programs became so successful that they were picked up by the Royal Ministry of Education. Other popular legislation creation social service programs that improved the quality of life for children, some of which were also adopted by the national government.

At age 13, Invisa joined the Junior Parliamentary Committee, a national group of youths who worked directly with Parliament, and occasionally the monarch, to create laws for the whole kingdom. Here, Invisa served two years, during which time he was primarily part of legislation that again was directed toward children adolescents, but was better known for legislation that made great advances in improving the economy. Other programs Invisa was involved in greatly improved relations with mainland nations, as well as helping to form the preliminary processes that would later lead to a unified Invisionize.

Despite his active involvement in politics, Invisa also found time to watch and play basketball, and pursue his interest in history and science. During this time, he also began his study of Communication, his primary focus being television production, but he was also very interested in interpersonal communication, or the way people interacted with each other. Although it's not known for sure, his political involvement may have had something to do with his interest in this subject.

Elevation to King

At the age of 15, Invisa was finally able to run for office. Instead of trying for a municipal position, or even a parliamentary office, Invisa made the stunning move of running for Agnon's monarch. The position was up for election at the time, and Invisa's odds seemed impossibly against him. Not only did he have to beat out incumbent Michael Gagnon, who was running for re-election, but also other opponents who had years more experience than him.

Despite the initial skepticism, Invisa quickly beat out all others who ran against him, gaining the nomination of the Republican National Committee party. During both debates that followed, which were highly televised, Invisa was able to surprisingly hold his own again the incumbent. However, even with a great deal of support seemingly behind him, many did not expect him to win. At best, many analysts thought the election would be close, but that Gagnon would eventually win, mostly because they deemed Invisa too young to hold such a mantle.

Once the votes were counted, it seemed the analysts were right on one point: the election was close. However, beating out all odds, Invisa won the election, and with just enough votes to be able to claim a mandate. As well as being the youngest elected king in Agnon history (there were other monarchs who were crowned at younger ages before the reform), Invisa was also the first monarch of his family to rule since the elections for monarch began.

Tenure as King

Invisa's kingship saw many changes. The Invisionize Unification Program was gaining speed when he took office, and it was widely speculated that the next monarch would not finish his or her term in office. During his first months in office, Invisa enacted laws that would transfer more power from his own office to that of Parliament, which would allow them to hold a referendum to find out if Agnon would agree to the program.

Six months into his term, the referendum was held, in which the populous overwhelmingly supported unification with the other kingdoms. Referendums in the other kingdoms were held at the same time, and a month later, the Invisionize Unification Council was formed, and Invisa began to help write the new constitution.

After this point, Invisa's main job as king was getting his country ready for the changes it was about to experience. He spent time giving speeches as to what exactly the changes to government entailed. Aside from the unification process, Invisa wrote legislation to further improve the quality of education for children. He also continued a tradition of working on foreign policy programs to develop alliances with other nations.

From King to President

When The Republic of Invisionize officially began on April 13, 2003, Invisa was a member of the Invisionize Transitional Council (along with the other former monarchs) that would rule until parliamentary and Presidental elections could be held. After again winning the nomination for the Republican National Committee party, on August 13, Invisa won the general Presidental election, while his party won 149 of the 300 seats in the Commons, and 38 out of 60 seats in the Senate.

Invisa vowed to make the unification of Invisionize to be an outstanding success. Uncharacteristically for a parliamentary style system of government (though the republic's system veered from governments such as those found in the United Kingdom), Invisa spent a great amount of time with Parliament, helping to pass new legislation as well as shuffling through legislation from the former kingdoms that might be deemed useful for the new nation.

In his capacity as head of state, Invisa met with leaders from around the world, helping to establish legitimacy to the new state.

The Great Invisionize War of 2005

Main Article: The Great Invisionize War of 2005

The Road to War

The full details behind the war are still something of a hotly debated topic. However, what is known is that in the final months of 2004, President Zachery Medina of the Republic of Veraco began accusing the Invisionize Intelligence Agency of spying on Veracan weapons making factories. Invisa quickly denied any such surveillance, blaming a domestic terrorist organization within Veraco for spreading lies.

In his earlier capacity as King of Agnon, Invisa had brokered a trade agreement with Veraco, which continued into the new republic, a relationship that some dissident groups vehemently spoke out against. Invisa claimed that terrorist operatives had infiltrated the Veracan government and begun spreading false intelligence. While the truth behind the matter is not currently known, President Medina used this statement as proof that Invisionize was using surveillance within Veracan borders.

After a successful coup d'état in Veraco installed a new President, Lin Heggo, President Invisa announced to the nation that Veraco was preparing for self defense in case of attack.

War Leadership

Invisa's leadership during the two month conflict was and still is highly praised by many. Even though the majority of battle was on Invisionize territory, the President was able to keep up morale. He helped enact dozens of assistance programs in areas hardest hit by battle.

However, not all groups and individuals had compliments. Some government watchdog organizations noted that Invisa seemed to using the conflict to consolidate power. On June 6th, three days after the beginning of major battle, President Invisa asked Parliament to declare martial law throughout Invisionize, because of the invasion of the Veracan military into coastal towns. Invisa explained that the change was necessary to preserve stability while the conflict was on Invisionize land, but the watchdog groups argued that it was unnecessary.

On July 1st, Invisa made the shocking move of asking Parliament for the ability to make day-to-day governmental and military decisions, moves alone that well exceeded his constitutional authority. However, he also asked that any changes he made be treated on the level of constitutional amendments. The reasoning, according to Invisa, is that intelligence showed that the military was close to making moves at the capitol itself, looking to topple the Invisionize government. He argued that daily business would get done quicker without the bureaucracy of Parliament. A lobbying group made up of key watchdog organizations, Return to Old Invisionize, argued heavily before Parliament not to allow these changes. However, Parliament said that such extensions of executive power must be put before the voters, an issue which was later overwhelmingly supported.

Resolution of War

Even before his power extending requests, Invisa began working with new President Lin Heggo to negotiate a peace treaty. Although various non-governmental groups argued that it was wrong to work with a government that most nations did not even recognize. However, most of the population of Invisionize praised the President for looking for a quick, diplomatic solution. On August 1st, the Presidents jointly announced the signing of a treaty, ending the war.

Ascension to the Imperial Throne

On August 6th, five days after the end of the war, President Invsia called a session of Parliament that announced sweeping changes to the government of Invisionize:

"I have called this joint session of Parliament to announce my plans for post-war reconstruction. Even with the success of the peace accord, the horrifying and heart breaking events of this war have left many with a great deal of anxiety. Homes have been burned down and families torn apart. When I look at the faces of the people I represent, I see pleas for help. I see pleas for assistance in rebuilding their homes and salvaging what they have lost. But most of all, I see pleas for a nation that is safe and secure, a nation that can be led not to war, but to peace. A nation with rules and boundaries that are set very carefully to ensure that such disastrous conditions are never to be found again. And that plea, my friends, I fully intend to act upon!

(Applause)..." Excerpt, Executive Decree 127

The announcement nulled the previous constitution, inserted a new one in its place, that transformed Invisionize from a democratic republic to an imperial autocratic dictatorship, with Invisa as its first emperor.

The Change in Ideology

Since the change in government style, many leading experts, as well as interested individuals, have proposed several different ideas as to Invisa's sudden extreme change in his views of executive power.

One theory describes that Invisa, well known for his prior denouncement of greatly centralized executive power, and opponent of authoritarianism, as "nothing more than a good actor." The basis of the idea is that Invisa had been biding his time for many years, waiting for Invisonize to be unified, before making his true motives clear. Opponents of the theory point to Invisa's already near dictorial powers as elected monarch of the Kingdom of Agnon as proof that this theory is not necessarily right as Invisa already had ultimate power in one nation and could had objected to Agnon's participation in the unification of Invisionize for a way to easily keep his power. Despite the objections, this is the theory that has received the most popular support thus far.

Another theory states that Invisa changed his ideology shortly after becoming President of Invisionize, but has yet to expand on this idea.

One extreme theory claims that Dymero Invisa has either been brainwashed or replaced by aliens, so that the person who is now Emperor is not acting of his own free will, or is not Dymero Invisa at all. This is the least accepted theory.

The Annexation of Veraco

On September 6th, Veraco's parliament voted unanimously to allow itself to be annexed by Invisionize, a motion that Invisa readily accepted. The annexation of Veraco has fuelled theories that the war was pre-planned by Invisa in order to justify receiving extra power.

Personal Life

Invisa is a very private person outside of politics, but he is known to have an intense interest in computer hardware and software, especially matters concerning the Internet. He also spends a great deal of time in the field of video production. He enjoys reading the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings series of fantasy books. Invisa also enjoys travelling abroad, as well as within his own nation.

At 16 (the Agnian age of adulthood), Invisa married Lysita Landen Invisa, who he met in college. Lysita is the sister of Provincial Region Three Director Sally Landen. Both he and Lysita are members of the Zakto faith, Invisionize's official religion, and regularily attend the Zaktoian Church of Barrion.

Titles

Throughout his life, Invisa has received many royal titles. Once elected King of Agnon, Invisa became By the grace of Zakto and the people, King Dymero Zerio Invisa, 111th Monarch of Agnon, Leader of the Agnians, Herald of Barrion.

Just before Agnon was unified with the rest of Invisionize, the Agnian Parliament's final action as a national body was to unanimously to grant Invisa a similar title: By the grace of Zakto and the people, the Eternal Dymero Zerio Invisa, Honorary Life Peer, 111th Monarch of Agnon, Leader of the Agnians, Herald of Barrion, and Forever the Greatest King.

With the death of his father Wilurn Invisa in early 2003, Invisa became head of the House of Invisa. The Invisas were originally the ruling house of the Invisio Kingdom, the area the clan settled when the arrived in Invisionize in circa 3,000 B.C., and the area they later ruled for 3,200 years. The ascension gave Invisa a new title, Duke of Invisa, an honorary title named for the Invisio region in which the clan first landed.

Upon his transition to Emperor, Invisa's official full-length title is His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Dymero Zerio Invisa, by the grace of Zakto and the people, the Eternal, Honorary Life Peer, 111th Monarch of Agnon, Leader of the Agnians, Herald of Barrion, Forever the Greatest King, and Duke of Invisa. This is often shortened to just His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Dymero Zerio Invisa and sometimes even His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor.
