right guy right time. young enough with a drive to clean his country. gets elected but there's still opposition in governement. two years later (i believe), his party gets majority seats in everything. so effectively his party controls all of governement. the military loves him because he appeals to them. right after the stars line up he decides to start operation gangocaust and the rest is history.  go watch street interviews of people in the country and they'll all say the same shit "we lost some freedoms but it's very worth it for the security. some of my family came back from the usa to live here again"
