|The Red Fox is a general symbol of Adian Vandal, hence the inclusion of fox supporters and ears on the crest. The chief features a fleur-de-lis to represent French heritage. The second quarter features a French flag for the same reason, while the third quarter features a cross of the Land of Sky Tinted Waters and the national motto for the same reason. In the fourth quarter there is only a moose to represent the voyage to Canada.

== Adian's Biography ==
== Family History ==
Born in Meirz, Austro-Caldera, on October 18th, 1979, Adian grew up to a poor Gothic family. He became interested in politics in childhood, as he's look upon Prime Leader Steinenkatz's throne in awe. Seeing his friends the target of Volin attacks, Adian pledged to make Caldera a safer place, and was elected into power after heavy propaganda work with the Volkspartei made Adian look like the most Gothic character for the job.
Born to a Franco-Norwegian father and a German mother, my family is dominated by it's French lineage, able to be traced as far back as the mid 1700s, when the Vandal family split. The majority remained in France (particularly Normandy), and the rest fled to what is now Canada. In Canada, the family split again, with an eastern portion remaining in Québec, and a western portion spreading themselves along the Red River Valley. Further family split during different conflicts resulted in many subgroups, of which will now be listed below.
 
Since the 2030s, Adian has been subject to controversy over his inability to properly manage the population's freedom, and whether his family was secretly Burgoignesc instead of German. His military campaigns over Volins have proven fruitful, although some compare him to Eldmora's dictator during the Second Great War.
 
=== Interests ===
I'm interested in history, flags, firearms, maps, video games, and role play. This creates the perfect combination to make me love making wikis about role play, and venturing forth to claim more land for the glory of Caldera. I actually originally first started making wikis in early 2018, about firearms and a role playing group I was in. We used Google Drive as our basis, but the first groups slowly fell apart. In 2019, I founded a second group with the purpose of reuniting friends to play video games. This group, The Division of Arms, continues to live on.
 
In 2019 I also joined a social media app called Amino. This was to pursue my hobby of video games and seek other players. One thing led to another, and I was introduced to NationStates. Eventually, I received an invite to this group, of which I joined about a year after receiving said invite.
