Nathan Hopley was a Maximusian conservative politician and military leader who served as the 11th President of Libertas Omnium Maximus from 1893 to 1899. A hero of the War of the Seven Provinces, Hopley began his meteoric political career in 1880, becoming the first National Conservative governor of Elizabeth Province, the first National Conservative President of Libertas Omnium Maximus, and a figurehead for the conservative intellectual revival of the 1880s and '90s. After his retirement from politics following the end of his second presidential term, Hopley became chairman of the National Conservative Party's general operations committee, a position which he retained until 1906.
Early Life and Military Career
Nathan Hopley was born in 1836 in the Megaryon Plains region of what is today Elizabeth Province, one year before the outbreak of the Iustitian Civil War, to Daniel and Martha Hopley. His paternal grandmother was of mixed Khersonsic/Eonedic heritage, making him the first person not of full Eonedic ancestry to go on to become President of Libertas Omnium Maximus. Hopley received little formal education, working on the apple orchard of a neighbor for most of his adolescent years. At the age of 16 or 17, he enlisted in the Maximusian Army, initially serving as a bugler.
