Aiden Avery was the 9th President of Zamastan. President Avery’s most notable act in his first year in office was the passing of the Individual-Armament Act, which created a system of background checks for guns effective enough to stop the purchasing of firearms by people with certain mental health disorders, people with violent pasts, and people who couldn’t pass a one hundred question test about gun safety. Crime rates, specifically murders, significantly decreased, and gun deaths both accidental, intentional, or via suicide dropped from the 10th leading cause of death to the 64th leading cause of death. The results identify that the law greatly improved the overall safety of the nation without hindering too greatly on the rights of lawful gun owners.

Avery also passed a tax break amidst the roaring Zamastanian economy that benefited lower income families while also changing the rates (though less extensively) for incomes higher than $60,000 a year. However, a controversial passing of a tax increase for previously held health care plans made Zamastanians lose faith in Avery, and he lost his reelection bid in 1982 to Damian Lorrie.
