After President Steinfinnur Kolbeinsson passed away due to an unknown cause and Prime Minister Gregory Hornthorpe was detained at Canadian prison, New Iceland was left without an official leader.
It was time to appoint one.
Two presidential candidates had stepped forward with the wish to lead New Iceland to a better era. One of the candidates, Hannes Gullason, used to serve as the vice president to Steinfinnur Kolbeinsson. After Steinfinnur's death, he handled the presidential tasks and proved himself to be more than capable of shouldering the burden.
Recently, he decided to become a vampire. Alexis Hornthorpe himself turned him into a vampire.
The other candidate, a human being by the name of Eivin Villason, was Maerin's current governor. He had served in the same position for ten long years.
Both candidates came up with a sound campaigning strategy.
