Both talkative yet overtly quiet this young man has a sort of scatter brain approach to handling things or doing things that interest him. Despite his initial unlikeliness to become any kind of leader, his own soft power in terms of making acquaintances as well as his more gentle personality makes him a fairly relateable person. Though he has been known to be a bit of a hot head at times in more confrontational matters, he strives to do what he can for as many as he can. As he was once quoted by an interviewer, \"Life is a strange and confusing mess, you never truly know where you will end up even if you wanted to do something you may certainly find yourself doing the complete opposite. I mean from JROTC in highschool, to the odd hobby of writing a constitution and exploring the idea of a micro-nation, I never once would have even dreamed of being a political leader... Let alone one on a federal level.\" This somewhat naivety yet sort of boundless optimism has seen Mathew now put in charge of the Southern Republic of America, though what he'll do not many know, for now we just wait and see." ##### EUROPE ##### ### UK ### ### GER ### ### RUSSIA ### ##### ASIA ##### ### CHINA ### JIANG_ZEMIN_LEADER_DESC: "Jiang Zemin (born August 17, 1926) is a former engineer who has led the Communist Party since 1989, replacing the reformist Zhao Ziyang in the wake of the Tienanmen Square protests.

Today, her reign is proving that women can do just as well as men, no matter what kind of country's politics." ##### MIDDLE EAST ##### ##### AFRICA ##### POLITICS_PAUL_KAGAME_DESC: "When Paul Kagame was 28, he helped topple the government of Uganda.
