Exemplar Chika Mirei (ちか みれい in Bahaso and Kakuri) is a statesperson and philosopher from Sokoku and generally revered as the founding mother of that nation state. Her work and actions have been deemed as critical in the success of the federative republic formed from an unlikely combination of former Anarian colonies. As the daughter of mixed native (Kakuri) and Vittmarker nobility, she had the opportunity to get a thorough education, which she then applied in the decolonisation process of southern Altaia. The current political system of Sokoku, Mireism, is named after her; as well as the member state of Mirei that bears her given name.

Early life

Chika Mirei was born early 7581 in the Kakuri settlement of Toshi-bu as the second daughter of the then current leader Kirisaki of the Nokumo Nobono and a unknown father. Given the fact that Kirisaki had the title Baroness of Kakuri awarded by Queen Anna of Vittmark and Mirei was registered at Fjällsta Stift, she automatically received Vittmarker citizenship. It was only after her death in 7666 that the name of her father was made public, he was none other than Palne Kristersson, at the time of birth married to Queen Anna.

At age 16 Mirei moved to Vittmark for academic studies. She graduated from the same private school as her half sister Iduna and half brothers Asvard and Kolgard. It is speculated that Queen Anna was fully aware of Mirei's fathership. She received a bachelor's degree in international economics in 7599 and in national law in 7600, after which she started a master's education in international law, specialising on Orkanan jurisprudence.

State builder

In 7604 she hastily was called back by the Nokumo Nobono to apply her knowledge locally. The unlikely coalition of Fisks and Kakuri had tipped the balance in the ongoing civil war in Shangtienrand (now Shuuen) which required basic state principles for the liberated areas. Mirei quickly formulated a draft for regional government, which was applied as a general blueprint. One of her more controversial recommendations was not to demolish the Häverist conurbations of Schlung and Neu Welser, but to use the half completed structure as a basis for a port city and new capital respectively. Due to her young age, her mother Kirisaki presented these ideas as proposals from the Kakuri leadership.

When the Iztomal population of Bowersland on the Altaian south coast asked for assistance from Shuuen, Fisks and Kakuri to liberate them from Hallish rule, Mirei drafted an outline for a federal, multi-ethnic state as general outline for the decolonisation process. She detailed and revised the model parallel to building up the new nation state, that received the name Renpo Sokoku no Tsuki. She deliberately weaved in the legacy of the at that time more hypothetical Tsuki civilization as a predecessor to Kakuri culture as a common denominator that acknowledged the central role of the rather small Kakuri community in state affairs.

At age 36, Mirei was acknowledged as the architect of Sokoku as a nation state. She remained however more or less out of the public eye while extending the state model and adapting it to also include Aspasia and Neusüdentor. Her strength was listening in points of view and opinions of several shareholders and combine them in a general outline. But from this time on, she became more pro-active in negotiations and mediations. She was consulted regularly by consecutive presidents and prime minister, but never held any official role or public office herself. She did not even renounce her Vittmarker citizenship when all Nubugaru residents of Fisks and the Kakuri community received the new Sokokan citizenship, she held her double nationality up until close to her death in 7666. Her most important publications are the draft for the Constitution of Sokoku in 76XX and her doctorate publication "XX" presented at Siutton University in Talpå and Shuuen State University in Kyusigai. Mirei published her major works only in Wortsproke (only having basic knowledge of Bahaso), except for some minor essays in Kakuri.

Final phase and legacy

In 7664 Mirei became severely ill, upon which she had to move from Nushuradawa on Carls Island to a medical facility in Kyusigai. She died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her closest family, in 7666. For the first time in the history of Sokoku, a state funeral was organised. Mirei's remains were moved to a final resting place in Toshi-bu unannounced shortly after.

One year after her death, local politicians proposed to change the name of Sokoku's smallest member state to Mirei in her honour. The change was carried out at the New Year of 7668. At her 100th birthday, a Sokokan delegation travelled to Blåkulla in Vittmark to have her registered as an Orkanan Exemplar. In 7690 this procedure was repeated at Herrkulla, resulting in Chika Mirei officially becoming an Exemplar within the Mellanhand and Peratolian congregations.
