My fellow Alexandrians,
First off, I want to thank each and every one of you for reading this—my first and last official statement as Prime Minister. Over the past few months, it has been an honor to serve this nation and its people. I know I have not been perfect, but I hope most can agree that my administration helped lay the groundwork for the future functioning of our government.
I inherited the office of Prime Minister under less-than-ideal circumstances. I was in the middle of a rehearsal for my school’s Spring Musical, less than two days from opening night, and I had no time. But I made time. I understood the weight of the responsibility I had accepted—an entire government needed to be shaped, and so that’s what I did.
But I did not do it alone.
I had the privilege of working alongside an incredible provisional government. Each member poured their time and energy into shaping not just their Ministries, but also some of the first laws that would guide this great nation forward.
Soon, the public will learn who the next Prime Minister and cabinet will be. I have no doubt they will carry the torch and push Alexandria forward, continuing the work we began. I have already started transitioning responsibilities to them to ensure a smooth and peaceful transfer of power—a cornerstone of any strong democracy.
This statement is not just a farewell address to the people—it is also my retirement announcement from both DemocracyCraft and Statecraft. Effective immediately, I will be stepping down from all positions on both servers and retiring from political life. These communities have meant a great deal to me. They gave me the chance to gain real-world experience in a field I hope to pursue professionally and allowed me to build friendships across the globe. Nowhere else could I have experienced such deep interconnectedness of people, ideas, and ideologies. For that, I will always be thankful.
I’d also like to take a moment to thank a few individuals who had a lasting impact on my journey:
Do not let those who crave power remain in power.
New faces and fresh ideas are the lifeblood of any democracy. A nation that never welcomes new leadership will never know true progress. Beware those who seek to hold power indefinitely—they are the greatest threat to the very ideals we hold dear.
Writing to you for the last time,

- YeetBoy – My political mentor. I joined the GER early on, and you helped me understand the rhythm of the server and its political field. With your support, I won my first election. Without you and GER, I never would have gotten as far as I did.
- 42 – One of my closest friends and political allies. During our time in the Senate, you served as POS while I was DPOS. You taught me the inner workings of legislative politics and pushed me to be better. When it came time to choose a Deputy Prime Minister, there was no clearer choice.
- Goldblooded – The first person to give me a real shot. While we may not always have agreed, you trusted me with a place on the New Hamilton planning committee. That position helped launch my government career, and I’ll always be grateful.
