Description
"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace." - Franklin D. RooseveltPoliticians, whether they have been in power or not, can have immense effects on the course of a history. They can rouse a people to fight, or they can sooth nations to peace. They can break down social norms, bringing about needed change in an ever evolving world. We will focus on politicians who have served as benefactors in this challenge. Abraham Lincoln, John Curtin, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela are all among politicians who have withstood and persevered over tumultuous scenarios and made their people stronger in the end. Tell us the tale of a Politician who brought about great change in your world!

This Countdown Clock is set to when the Challenge will end!The Brief
We at World Anvil want to hear the story of a politician in your world! Regale us with their exploits! Using the Character template, we want to learn about the life of your politician. Break down their life into who it shaped them and how they shaped the world around them. This politician can still be alive, or they can be dead. They may be remembered or forgotten. These politicians can be in power, or they can be fighting against the powers that be. They can rule in times of peace, or stand firm in the tides of war. The only caveat is that we want this politician to be known for good deeds, no tyrants for the Premier Politicians Challenge. There are many things to cover: How did they get into politics? How did they break the mold of society? What trials did they face? How has their legacy held over time? Be thorough with this one! Make sure to provide quotes from the politician! Capture their personality!What to cover
The Rise
A politician can rise to the front for many reasons. Why did your politician enter their position? Did they come from a family born into politics? Did they rise from the common folk to combat a problem? Were they inadvertently forced into the position?The Tribulations
Describe some of the most defining moments from the politicians service. Did they fight against a tyrannical government? Did they lead a nation through a brutal conflict? Did they provide a platform to bring a troubled people together in peace?The Legacy
What sort of lessons and stories do the people share of this politician? Are they remembered fondly for their efforts? Have people stretched the truth about them? Has their policies held up over time or have they been changed with changing times?The Rules
