Bill Clump

Bill Clump was the first president of Svetland, and formerly the Mayor of Orige.

Clump was born in 1881, in London, to a rich family. He attended private school and fought in World War 1. In 1930, he moved to the brand new Svetland and entered the political scene. He joined Darryl Clapp's Svetland United Party, which wanted to claim the Natives' land, and had right-wing beliefs.

Clump was one of three popular candidates for the Mayor of Orige, the first state of Svetland. When it came down to him and Roger Rogiano, he barely won.

He was a decent leader, and led the raid of Rockiram to claim it from the Natives partially.

In 1931, when a presidential election was held, Clump stood up for the role of the Svetland United. He was against Samuel H. Robinette, the Mayor of Coasas. He won the poll.

He campaigned hard, claiming he would get at least 15 more states over his tenure as president.

He initially lost the election, but after a recount in Ecclestone, he gained 10 more seats and was defined president.

During his presidency, he failed to get 15 states. He claimed 3, and grew Rockiram, which greatly hurt his campaign for re-election in 1935. He said 4 more years and he'd get that 12 more and end the natives once and for all. However, Joe Poffin's idea was clearly more well-strategised, and he lost the election by 41 seats to 46.

Post-president life was tough for Clump. He was critically acclaimed for hurtful comments he had made in the past, and he had been caught supplying Germany with weapons and materials. Joe Poffin claimed that Svetland United could not be trusted again, and to stick with the Reservation Party. Clump, as Leader of the Opposition, highly criticised Poffin, even saying "want to scrap?" during the 1937 Debate. Clump was taken out of the role in 1938 after trying to slap a Reservation supporter.

On April 1940, Clump was visiting Saranara River to make a speech, but fell into the river when standing on the edge to create emphasis. Medics ran to save him, but he ultimately fell down the waterfall and was found dead within minutes.

Clump has a memorial in Wesley, Orige.
