Lizer XVI

The Holy Emperor was appointed to office at the early age of 27 making him the youngest Emperor in Spreag's History. Lizer XVI is also the first direct descendant of Lizer I, the founder of The Holy Empire, to be appointed in over 800 years. In his first 5 years on the throne he has made great economic strides and Civil rights improvments. One of his first acts was to outlaw political parties his reasoning "People will no longer be able to vote simply along party lines. They now must look into issues and discover their true oppinions when electing representatives." although this was a contriversial move it has been appearing to work as the country continues to prosper and the peoples happiness grows. The Emperor is attempting to rebuild the nation after a 300 year decline filled with corruption and a general lack of insight into the nations needs.


The Great Purge

Lizer XVI upon taking office in 2002 used the Spartan Gaurd and the Preatorian Legion to initiate "The Great Purge". Throught out the last 300 years of Spreags history government offices were literally sold to other nations causing Spreag to be the Slave to the will of others. All of the non-spreagian officers in the government were removed from office in a superbly organized operation, arrested for high treason all of these prisoners awaited trial until The Holy Emperor had their citizenship revoked thereby removing all their rights to trial. The prisoners were promptly executed in a televised broadcast to the leaders of their father nations. Lizer XVI made the statement

"This is what happens to those who stand against us! This is what happens to those who attempt to use us! This is what happens to those who attempt to bring down the people of Spreag! but we will not be brought down we will rise against oppressors, we will not submit quietly to the will of those who would destroy us, we will not give up our pride, our dignity, or our freedom! We will fight with all the strength in our bodies, our minds, and our hearts to defend our nation from any kind of outside control! Spreag will rise from the ashes of the old blown away by the winds of a new era."

After these outside officials were executed immediate elections for the senate began without the party system and with reliable non-partisain information on every candidate. The results of these elections were astonishing the people changed all but one of their representatives, and the progress they have made has been astounding. Lizer XVI continued his purge by rebuilding the military so that it was entirely controlled by Officers loyal to the betterment of Spreag.
