Mr_Waffles17 is a Schevakian politician, who served as the Emperor of Schevakia. He previously served as the Senator from the Schevakian state of Melaconia, as the second President of [[Schevakia]], and as Chairman and head of state of the People's Republik of Schevakia.
A firebrand and self-proclaimed "Guarantor of the wellbeing of the common people", Waffles is known for his theatrical speeches and declarations and his history of being at the center of major geopolitical events. His public persona stands in stark contrast with his reserved demeanor and low vocality outside of his proclamations, earning him the moniker "The Phantom Schevakian".
== Early Life and Education ==
Mr_Waffles17 first migrated to the land now know as Schevakia in early November 2019 as one of the four founding Schevakians, along with [[catcherzw]], thepolg, and The_Brunt. He built his home in the northeast quarter of

Taking advantage of the power vacuum in Schevakia and its claims deficit resulting from the loss of over half of its members, Waffles formed his own faction on April 23rd and claimed the Schevakian Senate building and much of downtown
''"Too long has the Schevakian elite schemed in the houses of power, waged frivolous wars, and lined their pockets while the working people, the real Schevakian people, starved. As Chairman of the Communist Party of Schevakia and Guarantor of the wellbeing of the common people, I hereby declare myself ruler of the People's Republik of Schevakia. The Proletariat has seized the Senate Building and the means of production. All private property is now the property of the state and shall be redistributed amongst the poor of Schevakia. I urge the false rulers of Old Schevakia, the CSA, and Jacksonia to pledge allegiance to my rule, or face the righteous justice of the Schevakian underclass. This is the dawning of a new era for the people of Schevakia. From the sunstarved masses of the Undercity to the peasants of the West Ward, from the gladiators in the Arena, who die for the entertainment of the Bourgeoisie, to humble folk of the Polgolan swamp, left to rot by an apathetic aristocracy, I urge all working people of Schevakia to throw off the chains of the superstructure and rise up against their oppressors. Long Live the Revolution!''"
-Republik (April 2020)
Waffles' movement was dismissed as farcical by some, who astutely pointed out that he had made no effort to remedy the wrongs of Schevakian society
=== The Great Balkan War ===
On April 24th, following the further splintering of Schevakia into the nations of Satama and Ambrosia, the newly formed Balkan Federation claimed the Schevakian province of Ilyrdom, erroneously believing it to be entirely unclaimed following the restructuring of Ambrosia to its core territory. Mr_Waffles17 informed the Federation that he had a preexisting claims to the province, as the PRS held that all Schevakian territory was theirs. Waffles issued an ultimatum to the Federation to retract their claims, which was ignored for 48 hours. In response to the Federation's recalcitrance, the PRS issued a declaration of war on April 27th. Military support for the PRS campaign to retake Ilyrdom was rapidly announced by the Schevakian splinter states of Jacksonia and CSA, who expressed their disdain for the PRS itself but declared they would rather the land stay in Schevakian hands than be annexed by a foreign power. Soon after, Ozai and Sylvia announced they too would be backing the PRS claims to Ilyrdom with military and material support. The Balkan Federation backed down from its claims, and it was believed by both Federation and PRS leadership that a peace deal had been reached that night.
However, in the wee hours of April 27th/28th, Federation forces sacked the former Schevakian capital of Schenektengrad, causing massive damage in all five wards and detonating the Senate Building in an act of outrage at "the world turning against them". Waffles' homeland of Ward 4 was hit among the hardest in this attack, with the impoverished residents of the undercity reporting the highest casualties. The PRS joined a massive international coalition in declaring war on the Balkan Federation and annihilating much of it in retaliation for the sack of Schenektengrad, and Waffles himself was present at the Sataman and Ravna Goran fronts of the war.
=== Reconstruction Era ===
The Great Balkan War marked the beginning of a period of hardship for the PRS, which it proved unable to fully recover from. Having lost virtually all of their resources in the Sack of Schenektengrad, much of PRS-controlled territory lay in ruins, with the demoralized populace unable and unwilling to rebuild. The post-war era saw other Schevakian splinter states encroaching on PRS claims in Schenektengrad, as Waffles lost control over downtown Schenektengrad to Jacksonia, much of Ward 4 to the CSA, and even his own home to Ambrosia. The PRS was ultimately able to make territorial gains against the CSA in Wards 4 and 5, and launched a massive scale blockade of the Jacksonian and Polgolan coasts while reasserting control over the former Schevakian Federal Territory. These moves solidified Waffles's strategic position in the final weeks of the Schevakian Civil War.
=== Imperial Era ===
In early September of 2020, Schevakia's perennial eastern rival Yugoslavia reunited, which the divided and weakened Schevakian splinter states felt threatened by, given their previous experiences with their neighbors. In response to this and to massive scale immigration from Wohlstand to Schevakia and internal demographic shifts caused by said migration, members of Jacksonia and the CSA together formed the ''Schevakian National Party,'' with the goal of increased Schevakian cooperation in the face of these events. When negotiations within the party evolved into reunification negotiations between the Big Four Schevakian splinter states, Waffles' allegiance and participation in this process was guaranteed by promising him the position of Emperor of the re-formed Schevakian nation, which he would hold for life.
During his reign, Waffles has proved a fairly hands-off Emperor, weighing in rarely only on matters of the greatest geopolitical importance. The most significant political engagement of Waffles reign so far has been the [[Wohlstandian Revolution]], in which Waffles advocated and prioritized Imperial expansion and prestige in his foreign and internal policy.
== Personal Life ==
Waffles spends much of his time harvesting crops, building, and creating political propaganda. In his free time he can often be found communing with the people of the Ward 4 undercity, though he has strained relations with many other Schevakians. He is an avid throat-singer. Waffles' erratic levels of political activity and long periods of radio-silence have led some to speculate that his existence is fabricated; Waffles himself has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors.
