Buoyo

Buoyo is current governor of the State of Garxijos, a state in the Confederation of Garxijos. Buoyo is also the former President and former Chief of Staff of the Confederation of Garxijos and the current Diplomacy Minister.

History
Buoyo joined Eldham on July 15, 2021 and quickly joined the former nation of Cognia as a citizen, building his house and helping in minor projects. Following the Garxijos Yawos and Cognia merger, Buoyo was chosen to construct the new confederation's capital building at Garxeto. After the success of the building, Buoyo went on to develop many apartment complexes, stores, and offices in Garxeto for the growing nation. In recognition for these achievements, Buoyo was promoted to Minister of Infrastructure, a position he maintained until his appointment as Chief of Staff.

As he and his fellow citizens continued to expand the city, the conflict between Druk Yul and Grand Farencia, known as the Horse War, broke out to the nation's west. In the aftermath, sensing an opportunity, Buoyo negotiated a deal with the victorious Druk Yul leaders to purchase a large portion of land in former Grand Farencian territory. Successful, Buoyo would remain active in the nation, creating roads, drafting maps, and holding meetings for the country as it expanded.

In early August, unrest in the Confederation reached an all-time high when the Supreme Chancellor, Henrich B. Pierre refused to allow the propagation of the nascent capitalist market economy or state autonomy in the country as part of his unpopular communist doctrine. In response, a secret protest group was formed, known as the Garxeto United Liberation Front (GULF) with Buoyo voted their leader. Calling for the Supreme Chancellor to step down and hold new elections, the GULF grew rapidly in secret, ultimately representing the vast majority of Confederation citizens by the time their demands were publicly announced.

Faced with a massive armed opposition and the potential for conflict, Pierre surrendered on June 6 and elections were held the following day, with Buoyo emerging victorious as the Confederation's President. Buoyo led the nation for nearly a month, transforming the nation into a direct democracy and upholding the powers of the states through the creation of an extensive legal document known as the "Cogstitution."

On September 1, Buoyo resigned from the presidency in order to "endow other Coggers with the right to participate in government and engage in politics at the highest level." Under the new government led by Unit Nereus Kanurd, Buoyo was appointed as Chief of Staff, where he led national events, negotiated land treaties, and continued to build Garxeto into one of the greatest cities in Eldham.

On October 1, Buoyo ran for President and won the election. He served for the full term---one month---before leaving office for the next President, FancyMeow.

Buoyo continues to lead the State of Garxijos, one of the most populous states in the Confederation. He also runs the Nuts & Bolts Eldham satire newspaper, conducts diplomacy for the COG, and is currently writing a memoir on his experience as President.
