Head of State

President Haashim al-Abood
Alliance Towards Reforms
An older wise man, he is a huge supporter of renewable energy, economic cooperation, and friendly international relations. He was elected on promises to help stop the fighting in the Middle East, as well as make closer ties with the US, UK and other NATO Allies to help strengthen Iraq against Iran. Unfortunately, due to Iran’s aggressiveness and ISIS insurgents in the Middle East, The President has had a hard time keeping the peace.

Head of Government

Prime Minister Salmaan al-Mahmud
Alliance Towards Reforms
The Alliance Towards Reforms controls the head of state and head of government for now. Prime Minister Al-mahmum has the same views as the President. He thinks we should strengthen our alliance with countries like the US because they are really the ones fighting ISIS and terrorism in the Middle East. Al-mahmum sees this as a respectful act on the part of the US because their troops are dying for his country. He is well known for his advocacy of using military force to their full potential. He and the President have worked well together and have been vital in the rebuilding of the Middle East into a greener, stronger country. Al-mahmum is tired of having a rag-tag army and is in the process of building it to a similar style to the US.

Minister of the Interior

Naaji el-Saidi
Victory Alliance
The Ministry of Interior (MOI) is the government body charged with overseeing policing and border control in Iraq. The MOI comprises several agencies, including the Iraqi Police, Highway Patrol, Traffic Department, Emergency Response Unit, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit, and Department of Border Enforcement. Since the election Naaji has been focused on dramatically increasing the policing and border control across Iraq. Border security has increased tenfold since Naai took office, and the border is only getting more secure. The Department of Border Enforcement (DBE) is tasked with securing and protecting Iraq's international borders from unlawful entry of both personnel and materiel. The DBE mans 405 border structures. As of March 2010, the DBE has approximately 40,000 personnel assigned, organized into 5 regions, 12 brigades and 38 battalions. The Military has also been tasked with helping the DBE in more aggressive cases of border security.

Military

Ministry of Defence

Prime Minister Salmaan al-Mahmud
Alliance Towards Reforms
The Ministry directs all the Iraqi Armed Forces, comprising a Joint Headquarters, the Iraqi Ground Forces Command (which controls the Army), the Iraqi Special Operations Forces, the Iraqi Army, the Iraqi Navy (including Marines), and the Iraqi Air Force. Right now the PM has take this position until such time a suitable replacement can be found. With the PM’s view on the military make this position great for him because he can build the military up like he wants to.

Chief of the Army

Lt General Arkaan el-Hares
Victory Alliance
He disagrees with Prime Minister Al-Mahmud’s politics, he thinks we should bring the fight to Iran and terrorist groups in the region. A power-hungry man, who would send a man into battle knowing they will all be killed just to get a couple of medals on his chest. He does not believe that Iraq needs the US's help in building up and training the military. Because of this fact he has been uncooperative in matters involving the US military.

Chief of the Navy

Rear Admiral Majdi al-Farhat
Alliance Towards Reforms
A wiser man than his Army counterpart. He appreciates what the US is doing in the region and he knows the only way to fight off Iran is with America’s help. He also knows with US fleets in the Gulf it helps keep threat levels to a minimum. He agrees with the PM’s decision to increase border security and go on the defensive rather than offensive. Rear Admiral wants to build more ships and larger ones too.

Chief of the Air Force

General Ramzi al-Zaki
Fatah Alliance
A headstrong confident General that has been around the block more than once. Started in the air force as a 2nd Lt and now he is in line to become the next Marshall of the Air Force. Despite have a small force to work with he is effective in maintaining air superiority of Iraqi airspace. While respecting the decisions of the PM on defending the homeland he is a big proponent to start strategically bombing Iran.
