AIN's Most Powerful People

In December 2014, business and political magazine Onodera compiled the first list of AIN's most powerful people. The list represents the collective wisdom of all editors and advisers of Onodera and it was derived using four parameters weighted equally – the amount of people the candidate has power on, the financial resources controlled by the candidate, the multiplicity of sphere the candidate has influence on and lastly whether the candidate is actively using such influence or not. The following below displays the top ten figures in the list.

2017
Caroline President Nikki Haley was crowned by Onodera as the most powerful person in AIN for 2017. President Haley is described as the iron lady who greatly withstand three major controversies, the PMPower and Duke Energy crises, Hurricane Irma and the latest stint over the creation of the G5 and G10 groups. “Throughout the year, Ms. Haley has showed great leadership in leading her country through tough times,” as quoted from Onodera. This marks the first time Ms. Haley was ranked number from the list. She was previously listed as number 5 last year.

2016
Atlantic Federation President Sophia Elisian ranked first for the first time. Booming Atlantic Federation economy and inactivity of major AIN economies such as Nakama, Okatabawashi and Hiigara has pushed Atlantic Federation to take the steering wheel. Atlantic Federation, AIN’s largest contributor is also the largest economy among the member states when ranked by Gross Domestic Product (PPP).

2015
Okatabawashi Prime Minister Stephen Cha-Wan emerged as this year’s most powerful person coming from his runner up finish in 2014. Cha-Wan is the man behind Okatabwashi’s economic recovery from the 2007-2008 world financial crises and the Japan recession of the 2010s. Okatabawashi which is the second largest economy and the fifth most populous country in AIN had also expanded its regional influence to its neighbor, Teiko and Nakama.

2014
In 2014, a national political shift in Sainte-Croix from being a constitutional monarchy to a federal republic has left the whole world stunned as the Liberal Monarchist Bloc struggles to keep afloat from the lost of the important member. Just recently, a political divide in the Lower Columbia and Cattala has left both countries paralyze in policy making. With these in mind, this year’s list of most powerful people in AIN blatantly features prominent individuals who had held the whole world in contempt more than anyone else.

Marc Reiallerne had trended in the media more than any other name for 2014. The current prime minister of the Federal Republic of Sainte-Croix had successfully converted his country into a parliamentary republic causing so much stir in Europe and North America. Among others in his tenure, Sainte-Croix relationship with Cattala and other members of the Liberal Monarchist Bloc downgraded causing international stir at the most powerful geo-political and diplomatic union. Transgressions at immigration between Sainte-Croix and Cattala also sparked controversy as the former lifted the visa-free policy for Cattalians. Indeed, with all the ruckus Reiallerne made, nobody can possibly call him insignificant.
