Editing Anya Bishop (section)

==Presidency==
===Domestic Policy===
====Legislative====
January 31st saw her first week as President end with humiliation in the political spectrum, as her education increase proposal was shut down by members of her own party due to worries regarding hiked taxes for middle-class families who were already enrolled in public education. The complete and sudden reversal by the Conservatives on their incumbent president was marked by [[The Tofino Times]] as a "betraying failure not seen by a President in the nation in fifty years". 

On March 15th, 2019, Bishop marked her first legislative victory in the Congressional Hall, passing her proposed 2.6% increase for the defense budget. The budget diverted money from the Gladysynthian border defense - which was undergoing the process of demilitarization anyways - and put it towards a new aircraft carrier to operate as Zamastan's third, alongside the [[ZMS Upham]] and the [[ZMS Redeemer]]. 

Many protests against her presidency and its economic policies occurred during the first months of her administration, specifically the [["PoverTea" Protests]], which often resulted in clashes between demonstrators and police.

On August 4th, 2019, Congress passed a sweeping gun control measure that banned most semi-automatic assault weapons and initiated a six-month buy back program. This was hailed as one of the best pieces of legislation signed by a modern Zamastanian president. 

====Terrorism====
On May 4th, a man intentionally drove his truck into Bishop's Presidential motorcade, striking her vehicle, killing her driver, and leaving her with a broken arm. 4 days later on May 8th, the [[Zian Presidential Mansion]] was the target of a [[Malvarian Liberation Front]] terror attack. Bishop and her staff barricaded themselves in the security bunker and survived, though [[2019 Presidential Mansion Hostage Crisis|over 230 people were killed before special forces were able to secure the President, her staff, and hostages taken by the terrorists]].

A string of attempted bombings in early-August 2019 on [[Congressional Hall (Zamastan)|the Congressional offices]], the Tofino Metro, and then a successful bombing of an open air restaurant which killed 2 people led to massive manhunts in the [[Tofino-Arinals Metropolitan Area]].

===Foreign Policy===
Anya Bishop assumed the presidency and became the second woman to hold the office since [[Elene Abotsford]] in 1972. One of her first acts as President was to attend a meeting in [[Mönusÿnthys]] with [[Premiere of Gladysynthia|Premiere]] [[Seswitch LaFlaunce]] following the promise for a second summit a month earlier by President Castovia. The meeting attributed to the thawing of relations with [[Gladysynthia]] following the 2018 crisis. 

Bishop organised the [[2019 Tofino Leaders Summit]] for February 22nd, 2019, which saw leaders from across the [[International Democratic Union]] visiting [[Tofino]] for a conference based around energy and economic policy. During the conference, she publicly supported the independence movement of the island of [[Aeluria]], had the first discussion between a Zamastanian politician and a [[Kerlile|Kerlian President]] ([[Joanna Greenwood]]), and also created a trade deal that spanned connections with businesses in [[Laeral]] and [[Libertas Omnium Maximus]].

In July 2019, Bishop initiated a trade dispute with [[Xiomera]] that swept over the IDU and caused a global economic downward shift. Though the dispute ended in September, the dispute was widely seen as one of Bishop's worst political blunders. 

During her time in office, Bishop visited abroad in many nations.
===National Disasters===
On March 23rd, 2019, record flooding hit the district of [[Pahl]], devastating communities and leaving over 7 million people displaced along nearly every moving body of water (rivers and streams). On the 24th, the human toll was calculated at over 102 dead, with more than 3,000 unaccounted for [https://zkcastor.wixsite.com/mysite-1/post/flooding-devastates-pahl-102-confirmed-dead-over-3-000-missing]. This led to Bishop's first ever declaration of a national emergency, and she was hailed for her response and leadership during the crisis, but was criticized for her failure to visit the disaster zones in the hardest hit suburbs of [[Abagene]] and [[Emerald]].

On August 31st, 2019, the [[2019 Coastal Valley Earthquake|Coastal Valley Earthquake]] devastated the coast of Zamastan, almost entirely flattened the city of [[Kelowna]], and killed over 4,300 people. The great remainder of the year was dedicated to recovery and rebuilding efforts.
