George Oswald Hunter Jr is a former Prime Minister of The Republic of Hallevor. He is the second Prime Minister since the Revolution against the Communist Government. He has been re-elected five times for two year terms.

Background

Hunter was born to a Miner in 1926 by age seven he was at ahead of his class of fifty six children. Around age seventeen his father died from starvation and his mother was brutally murdered by the secret police. He is said to have joined the secret Anti-Communist Guard at his school. Around age twenty one, he joined the group known as SAT "Soldiers Against Tyranny". He fought in many pre-civil war battles which helped weaken the state. In 1963 he met William Miller who was quickly befriended by his stories of battle against the state. The SAT joined with Miller's resistance against the government and quickly became one of the most well known defenders of Minarchy.

In 1966 the organization known as the Hallevoric Front of Liberty (HFL) announced and declared war on the state. Hunter rose the ranks and became a charismatic speaker for the HFL. In 1972 he was shot in the leg and unable to continue battling. He still spoke and made speeches for morale and to spread the message. In 1976 during the fall of the Socialist Hallevoric Empire, Hunter is said to have remarked "Graham's head is full of lead. Now the Red is finally dead." The Minarchist State was set up and put into action. Hunter stood behind Miller's policies, both economically and socially. When Miller was assassinated in 1979, Hunter announced his candidacy for Prime Minister to over-see the building of the Senate and maintain Miller's ideas of economy and society.

Political Roles

He was the first people elected Prime Minister of Hallevor since the pre-communist republic. When he got into office he started to appoint people to different Ministries of government. He also started to create a Senate for Hallevor and issued the first elections for Senators. Hunter mainly ran the party according to what he understood of Miller's ideals. The media dubbed him "Uncle George" because of his family friendly personality. Although Hunter never had any family of his own, he was still considered by the Traditionalist Party (at the time newly formed) the best possible Objectivist politician.

He passed more bills in his administration then any other administration. This is mostly due to the fact that the constitution was just written and Hunter wanted to conform the government to it's constitution. At the end of ten years as Prime Minister, he stepped down and retired.

Death

After living a long 106 years, he passed away from natural causes around his family in his house near Nyrenton.
