Frederik Sanchez

Frederik Sanchez is the current president of Nova Rio.

Childhood
Born on August 15th, 1980, Sanchez grew up in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, where he witnessed firsthand the slow devolution of the city into an area ruled by gangs and unprotected by the police. This childhood would turn him into the determined, anti-gang leader that he became.

Early Life
His first major activities in his life were as a member of the Nova Rian vigilantes, who patrolled the slums of Rio de Janeiro, wiping out the gang threat in those areas and restricting the gang warfare to only the city proper. After working with the Nova Rians for three years, Sanchez became the leader after the first leader was shot during a gunfight with a gang in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The credibility and reputation that he gained as a fair and dedicated leader while leading the much-respected Nova Rians would carry over into the elections of 2006, when the Nova Rian government was established.

Political Career
Sanchez was appointed as an interim Senator while the Nova Rian government was being set up, one of only 7 Nova Rians to be appointed. However, he ran for President when the government was filled with elected officials, running on the platform of light corporate control and an economy-first growth policy. These stances, when combined with his respected background, won Sanchez a landslide victory over his opponents, with Sanchez receiving over 75% of the vote. Sanchez is up for reelection in 2010, but his approval rating hovers at 70% now, so his reelection appears certain.
