Sheldomar Bolak

Sheldomar Bolak (b. 1963, Lyon, France) is the current Governor General of the Republic of Displaced Calvinists.

Before fleeing France as one of a handful of Protestant refugees, Mr. Bolak served as a deacon in the French Reformed Church and a minor but outspoken politician in the French Legislature. He is best known for his boisterous but futile opposition to the Anti-Huguenot Laws that eventually forced him into exile. He is one of the original seven who signed the Displaced Calvinists For a New Reformation charter, which led to the foundation of New Batavia Colony. New Batavia Colony declared its independence in October of 2006, and became the capital of the Republic of Displaced Calvinists. Mr. Bolak was elected as the new nation's first Governor General, and is currently serving a five-year term of office. Since his election, Mr. Bolak has escaped two apparent attempts on his life, which he has publicly blamed on Jesuit agents. Vatican officials deny the allegations.

Born in Lyon, France in 1963, Sheldomar Bolak was converted from Catholicism to the Reformed Church in 1980. He eventually became a deacon in the French Reformed Church, where he was known for his charity work before finding himself thrust into the political arena over issues regarding freedom of religion and the rights of non-Catholic religious charity organizations in a predominantly Roman Catholic culture.
