Anna van der Sar

Anna van der Sar is the current Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Neu Westfalen. A self-described National Conservative from Evelstadt, she took office on September 18th, 2009 with 39.5% of the national vote in the 1st round, and 68.7% in the 2nd round, comfortably defeating her center-right (incumbent) rival with 32.3%. She was elected on a platform of transparent governance, increased investment in science, technology & agriculture, and to resist pressure from liberal opponents to adopt a more internationalist approach to world politics. Despite steady popular support domestically, her views on NATO, the EU, Immigration and the Iranian Nuclear issue have occasionally caused controversy overseas.
