Gustav Nixon (born 7 February 2979) is a Wiltshirian politician and political strategist who is currently serving as Deputy Prime Minister of Wiltshire and Foreign Minister under the Conservative government of Owen Lassiter. Prior to his appointment to the national cabinet, Nixon served for one year as Mayor of Juneville during the Wiltshire Civil War and the subsequent destruction of many parts of the city.
Nixon is widely considered a strong advocate for the elimination of universal healthcare and the expansion of the Wiltshirian military. He has also been tipped as a potential political candidate, with many calling on him to stand as a candidate for Mayor of Newton in the October 3020 election. He refused, and endorsed the eventual LibCon nominee, Ryan Westbrooke.
Early life and career
Nixon was a child of the second Federation. He grew up during the era of Grand Tarkin and Jaresh Inyo, as well as the political legacy of the Federation/C.E. war. Nixon lived a relatively normal life throughout the 2980s and 2990s, living in a number of different Almere Socialist Republic cities, eventually settling in Minevgrad.
He attended the Vlad Sirnim Highschool, and graduated college with a degree in political science. He served a number of local governments in Minevgrad, moving to Wiltshire in 3018 to work for the Conservative Party. His skills quickly gained him credibility within the party, being promoted to Chief Strategist in early 3019. He is often accredited to winning the 3019 Wiltshire government shutdown for the Conservatives, and winning a majority at the subsequent election.
