Mahmud Ali Durrani

Role: Head of State

Party: Military Government

Ideology: Military Junta^note Nationalism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} A veteran of two Indo-Pakistani wars, Mahmud Ali Durrani rose to prominence as the secretary of General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, who seized power in 1978 and executed Pakistan’s previous socialist leader, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Eventually being promoted to commander of the 1st Armoured Division, Durrani was one of the main suspects in the 1988 plane crash that killed his commander-in-chief, although he was never tried for the incident. Distrusted by the military establishment, he was relegated to small-time posts far from the military halls of power. That changed in 1990 as the military was unable to prevent the incursion of the Soviet Air Forces into Pakistani territory, bombing several Mujahideen training camps and causing an international crisis. With the military widely discredited, Durrani was appointed Chief of Army Staff by Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Tasked with reforming the army command in order to prevent any further violations of Pakistani sovereignty, Durrani promoted a cadre of young officers to leadership positions while implementing new doctrines of warfare. In 1997 he too launched a coup d’état against the increasingly unpopular socialist government. He soon cemented power as a new military president, appointing a civilian prime minister while maintaining actual power around himself. The country stabilized over the following years as Durrani presided over a growing economy and increasingly normalized relations with Pakistan’s traditional rival, India. But the acclaimed ‘General of Peace’ still faces domestic opposition and increasing pressure from the international community over Pakistan’s continued support for rebel groups in Afghanistan

Jigme Singye Wangchuck

Role: Head of State

Party: House of Wangchuck

Ideology: Semi-Constitutional Monarchy^note Monarchism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Dragon King Jigme Singye Wangchuck received his education in Western institutions, from India to England. Upon his father's death, he became Dragon King in 1972, vowing to the dying head of state in earlier weeks that he would continue his legacy of democratisation and opening up of Bhutan. In the following decades, this is exactly what he did. By establishing various checks and balances and the first stages of a constitutional government, the King ushered in a new era of love between the royal family and its subjects. Since those first years the people of Bhutan have grown to not just revere, but adore their head of state, proud of the many accomplishments he has made, especially in recent years when the national gross domestic product was shown to have increased at an astonishing rate just since the early 2000s. However, at the turn of this decade there are rumours throughout Bhutan that the Dragon King is preparing to abdicate in favour of his eldest son. But an end to their beloved monarch could stoke the flames of great political change.

---

• The Good King: Wangchuck is responsible for modernizing his country greatly - his introduction to checks and balances, a constitution was introduced to limit the monarchies power, and an astonishing increase in GDP. Needless to say, his people love him greatly and he reintroduced faith in the royal family.

Mohammad Najibullah

Role: Head of State

Party: People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan - Parcham

Ideology: Leninism^note Communism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Twice imprisoned and twice exiled, Mohammad Najibullah’s journey to become President of Afghanistan has been long and winding. An early member of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan, Najibullah served as the bodyguard of Babrak Karmal, the leader of the party’s moderate Parcham faction, before the Saur Revolution in 1978. When the PDPA seized power Najibullah became a member of the Revolutionary Council, but his time in the government would be short-lived. The rival Khalq faction soon forced him into exile, only for him to return a year later with the intervening Soviet forces. Karmal was made president and Najibullah became head of the State Intelligence Agency. He soon turned the KHAD into one of the most efficient agencies in Afghanistan, persecuting thousands of subversives as the Soviet forces slowly defeated the Mujahideen fighters across the country. The war was over by 1990 and Najibullah turned his attention to the issue of succession. A power struggle within the party once again led to the ascendancy of the Khalqists, and Najibullah was stripped of his powers and once again sent into exile in 1997. He spent nearly a decade in Moscow before the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan once again triggered a Soviet intervention, this time led by Marshal Leonid Khabarov. The Soviet Army and the KGB united behind Najibullah, who was installed as General Secretary in 2006. Although pursuing a policy of reform and ‘national reconciliation’, there is doubt whether Najibullah’s government will be able to survive without Soviet backing, and whether the USSR will be willing and able to continue their support of the Afghan socialist regime.
