One of President Blancs key missions is the war on Crime and Corruption, whilst releasing non-violent drug users on the one hand she has shown to be ruthless with criminality and corruption on the other.

The war was declared without World Forum backing and between mid November and the Christmas Eve truce Izaakia successfully invaded half of the territory of N&GB. During a visit to troops on the front line, her vehicle hit an IED which flipped the vehicle and caused several broken bones. Protests against the war have been widespread, notably on Christmas Day when the Presidential villa at 57 Mount Pleasant Street Brodlancia was stormed.

+==Wealth and Banking Career==
-Opalen was admitted to [[Education in Sedunn (Pacifica)|Goends University of Technology]] and the program for statistics in 2005. During his studies, he started experimenting with various chat clients and blogging platforms. In 2006 he launched Eras, an early social media platform, in cooperation with the Goends University of Technology Student Union. It gained some popularity due to a feature that allowed planning and organisation of events and was soon used by university officials too. He spent his fourth year as an exchange student in New Mako University, Izaakia, where he also had a brief career in e-sports. He introduced Eras to fellow students. In 2008 He finished his fifth year in university with a master's degree in engineering, and by that time, Eras had become popular in other Sedunnic universities, starting to gain in popularity abroad as well.

-In 2009, seeing the rapid growth of Eras, Opalen decided to focus on developing the platform and founded a company together with university friends. They called the company Stream, to better appeal to international users. Backed by statistical trend analysis tools that they developed, they soon reached new markets and the number of users increased rapidly. By 2015, Stream had established itself as one of the major social media platforms with a global reach and hundreds of millions of daily users. This success was monetised by letting other companies advertise their products and services on Stream. At the same time, Stream designed a search engine, Tus, which a year later was placed under a subsidiary company with the same name. The search engine was merged with another popular search engine from Sedunn, Blink, which was bought from EVSS KJ, making Tus one of most used search engines globally.
