———— Allan (full name not given for reasons of tax-evasion) is the first President of the Scottish SSR, a seperatist democratic socialist republic in central Scotland.

As leader of the Scottish Socialist Labour Party, he led the revolution of 26-28 January 2009 which resulted in the formation of the Scottish SSR. He is also We Are Perth Army Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Early Childhood
———— Allan was born in Paisley, United Kingdom, between the years 1985 and 1992. An only child, he was born into an educated working-class family, and baptised a Roman Catholic - his mother's faith - by the radical dissenting priest Fr. John Fitzsimmons. He lived in Scotland until the age of 9, at which point his family moved to Ireland. They lived in a small, backward rural community, where the local populace were hostile to 'outsiders.' This first-hand experience of discrimination on the basis of his nationality had a profound effect on him - he would grow to despise racism and other forms of mindless bigotry, later campaigning for various equal rights causes.

He settled quickly into his high school in Ireland - a multidenominational, multinational Church of Ireland run school - and proved himself to be an eloquent debater.

At age 13, his family moved back to Scotland. He left school at the end of 6th year, aged 17, to study history, politics and archaeology at Glasgow University.

Family Background and Political Awakening
His father was born into a trade unionist and Labour-supporting steelworking family from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, the scene of ————'s later triumph. An ex Young Communist League member, although as ———— later commented: "this was debatable - my dad never seemed that interested in politics and it would seem that he joined the YCL in order to annoy his reactionary Religious Education teacher at high school, who was later jailed for touching up boys at Church Camp."

His mother, however, had most influence in ———— developing an interest in politics. A former member of the Trotskyist SWP, she had been politically active during her late teens and early twenties as a regular on protest marches and in the running of various campaigns.

——— developed a keen interest in politics around the age of 17. Interested in the Labour left, he was influenced by Tony Benn's democratic socialist ideology and was an avid student of the 'Red Clydeside' period of Scottish history.

Formation of Scottish SSR and entry to We Are Perth Army
On 28th January, 2009, ——— Allan became President of the newly-founded Scottish SSR. The following week, he entered the Scottish SSR into the alliance of We Are Perth Army. He gradually rose through the ranks, being appointed as WAPA ambassador to the Aqua alliances by then-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vanadrin Failing. The departing Vanadrin Failing nominated President Allan as a candidate for Minister of Foreign Affairs on April 10th for the upcoming May elections. Initially reluctant to run for office, he stated on Aril 15th that he would "pass on it." However, in true politician style, an abrupt U-turn occurred and on April 19th he announced that he would stand for election. His election manifesto stated that his aims as MoFA would be to help create greater prosperity and friendship between WAPA and others, free and fair negotiation and compromise with open-minded alliances and taking a tough line on hostile groups.

On May 11th, he was elected as the new WAPA Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a 19% majority.
