Liam Souza

Liam Souza is a Huggie politician who was the 4th president of the Huggie Union and currently holds the highest position in the Huggie Union as the 1st Head of the Union. Liam Souza is notable as the longest serving president of the Huggie Union and the youngest politician to take office in modern history from the 1900s. Liam Souza has also worked with the most vice presidents in history.

Ascension to politics

After witnessing the horrible management of the Huggie Union from Zakov Thompson II, son of Zakov Thompson, and plunging the union into a war with Colis, Souza knew that something had to change. After the sudden death of Thompson II, Souza was planning for an election campaign to support Pingbod Boe to run in the election, but Huggyo nepotism had its way, and Thompson II's nephew Zachary Thompson took over. Zachary Thompson ran a dethompsonization policy, which Souza liked, but his tenure was cut short after he was assassinated in 1972, just four years into his term. During the two years when there was no president in power, Congress and the offices of the Communist Party were a mess, and they were considering appointing the vice president or Zachary Thompson's son, Jalen Thompson. In 1973, 17-year-old Liam Souza made his way into the Zakov Thompson memorial and delivered his 1-minute speech saying

"I should enjoy life just as well as the next person. If you want this to happen, this 'enjoyness', then you must stop doing your nepotist ways; stop believing the nepotist ways. Whether you're disabled, able, old, young, communist, Colisian, you should have the freedom of a great leader. Help us this year, help us, oh God help us."

In late 1973, Souza was invited to a debate with his political rival Oauhu Kelly, and he dominated the debate, easily winning all votes from Congress, the Senate, and the offices of the Communist Party for Souza to become president.

Presidential term

Liam Souza took the oath of office on March 22nd, 1974, shortly after his 18th birthday. Immediately, Souza saw problems in the government and quickly built up congressional and senatorial power. He passed a renaming of Thompson City and Thompsongrad to something else through Congress, which had a vote. The majority, in response to a liking of Liam, renamed the cities to Souza City and Souzagrad. Souza immediately improved education and built up large universities and health facilities in these cities and other cities. Souza is known for having a long-term approach and became increasingly unpopular in the 1990s. A group of extremist far-right men attempted an assassination on Souza, burning much of the Nogorograd Hall in Nogorograd in 1997. Souza was not injured. Souza helped improve Colisian relations a lot. In 2023, Souza started an unpopular losing war against the Corridor Islands.  In 2025, Souza resigned from his position as President to assume a new role as Head of the Union.

On June 6, 2023, the Presidential Palace was attacked using a drone and personnel, attributed to a group known as the Skibidibopbops. This organization has been previously linked to several incidents, including the Huggie Tower bombings and the vegetarian meat eating scandal. The attack was on the president of the Huggie Union, Liam Souza.

The Corridor Spy Network, conducting reconnaissance missions within the Huggie Union, detected a drone associated with the group at 4:08 PM prior to the incident. A resident of Bugarfkintville reported observing a balloon carrying a heavy black object, believed to be connected to the drone attack.

In response to the attack, the Huggie government sealed off the 9th and top floors of the Presidential Palace as part of an evidence-gathering effort. During the chaos, there was a report of an incident involving a security guard and Liam Souza.

Following the attack, Huggie officials initiated an investigation into the Bedland mines, which had been abandoned for over 15 years. The team spent over three hours navigating through the old mines but reported finding no substantial evidence. However, they did encounter a group of individuals in poor condition who were scavenging for food. It was determined that these individuals had been left behind after the evacuation of the mines.
