Presidency of Valid de Impala

Valid de Impala ran unopposed and was subsequently elected President of the Green Protection Agency for the term 11/2007-1/2008.

His ascendency to the post was immediately controversial, drawing criticism from New Pacific Order due to an earlier incident in which Valid edited a post by Dilber on the GPA forum. NPO had at that time already removed its signature from the Declaration of Neutrality due to the October, 2007 GPA neutrality dispute.

As President, Valid distanced himself from past GPA leaders by taking a more authoritarian role in government, and by threatening military aggression on other alliances, notably Libertarian Socialist Federation, The Order of Light, Sparta, SPQR, and Independent Republic of Orange Nations. Over time, calls for Valid's removal strengthened, culminating with GPA Director of Communications Great Dzar's open letter to the cyberverse on December 8, in which Great Dzar claimed to speak for the "great, silent majority" of GPAers and in which he called for "the alliances of Planet Bob to censure GPA President, Valid de Impala, and for the membership of the GPA to impeach Valid de Impala". A vote of no confidence was soon initiated by the GPA Security Council, and on December 11 Valid was officially removed from office.
