==President of Slokais Islands== 
In 1892, upon the foundation of the Republic of Slokais Islands, an election was scheduled for the winter of 1892. Gonzalez had largely consolidated support within the Left Party. During this period, voting was restricted to land ownership an effect of colonial voting laws in addition, issues with establishing national infrastructure meant the 1892 Election had low turnout. Those who did come out where mostly land-owning Costenos and Blancos, who had a preference for Gonzalez instead of the more radical Henry Banks and Roberto Kohang. Gonzalez achieved 77% of the vote with the Left Party securing 83 of the 100 seats in the Slokaisan Legislature. At this point, the federal government remained relatively ineffective with military, education and tax largely being in the hands of the Legislature alone. 

In 1893, Gonzalez announced an expansion to the Constitution to be formalized at the 2nd Congress of the Constitution in New Liverpool. Within the newly built, Republic Hall from May to August 1893 delegates from every province where in attendance with President Gonzalez holding a speaker-like position. The resulting discussion and writing would come to be known as the "Revolution of the Republic" as delegates debated national versus provincial power, the role of religion and the power of the executive branch. In the end, Gonzalez pushed through a final draft which was soon adopted. To secure the legitimacy of the Congress, Gonzalez delivered a referendum in May of 1894 with full male suffrage. In 1895, during the Northern Isles Tax Rebellion, Gonzalez personally took control of the situation by traveling to the region and commanding military forces. Gonzalez is elected to a second term and is very popular as the land-owner requirement is removed and he gets 77% of the vote. The Left continued its appeal in rural areas with gains for the Center Party in urban areas. 

Gonzalez called for the formalization of Slokais as the "Republic of many". This included the increased usage of English and Spanish, with Gonzalez leading with English, although sometimes repeating himself in Spanish. This was due to the language policy of colonial powers, which taught English to those in urban areas and Spanish as a language of rural areas due to the work of missionaries. In 1897, the Ministry of Justice was created to replace the existing colonial-era justice system. Juries would consist of a random selection of citizens, instead of the existing system of juries being selected by the judge and only the judge. The Ministry of Justice also created a system of appeals courts and lower courts to oversee cases.
