Maris

Supreme Commander Maris is the self-proclaimed Eternal Protector of Order and undisputed ruler of the largest nation nobody remembers creating. Official records of his birth no longer exist because he declared them inaccurate and ordered them destroyed; state historians insist he either emerged fully grown from a thunderstorm or personally invented childhood. His leadership began early, organizing neighborhood children into a disciplined bureaucracy with taxes and mandatory naps. After winning a local chess tournament, he annexed the venue and never stopped expanding. Today, Maris governs an empire where efficiency borders on absurdity. Citizens receive one approved opinion each morning, while independent thought requires Form 47-B in triplicate with a 75-year processing time. He rebuilt an entire city block because one paving stone was misaligned and grants public audiences for exactly three minutes every third Thursday. His routine includes scowling at the sunrise until it becomes punctual, rejecting excellent ideas for not being his, inspecting statues, and approving tomorrow's weather. He invented Marisday, intimidated a volcano, and ticketed a comet. Even paperwork fears him
