| - Valid de Impala originally ran in a three-way race during the GPA's General election cycle at the end of October 2007. He was elected President of the Green Protection Agency with his term to begin on 1 November and to end on 31 December 2007. This election was ratified with a vote after the other two Presidential tickets conceded defeat on the 27th of October. His ascendancy to the post was immediately controversial, drawing criticism from New Pacific Order due to an earlier incident in which Valid edited a post by Dilber on the GPA forum. NPO had at that time already removed its signature from the Declaration of Neutrality due to the October 2007 GPA neutrality dispute. Within the first 16 hours of his election as President, a Vote of No Confidence was called upon him by GPA Members. The grounds for undertaking this action were unspecific at the onset, but seemed to focus more on the idea that Valid's persona appeared to be too polarizing as a member and thus not the best choice to represent the GPA as a neutral figurehead. The debate on both the merits and basis of calling this VoNC dominated the debate that transpired over the course of 72 hours prior to the GPA Security Council vote. Valid de Impala's VoNC failed to remove him from office with a slight majority favoring his continuance as President. As President, Valid distanced himself from past GPA leaders by taking on a more authoritarian role in government. After learning that Libertarian Socialist Federation had stolen GPA guides and been in possession of them for two months, the GPA threatened war on them as well as demanding that The Order of Light and SPQR expel former LSF members so the GPA could attack them. Over time, calls for Valid's removal strengthened, culminating with GPA Director of Communications Great Dzar's open letter to the Cyberverse on 8 December, in which Great Dzar claimed to speak for the "great, silent majority" of GPA Members and in which he called for "the alliances of Planet Bob to censure GPA President, Valid de Impala, and for the membership of the GPA to impeach Valid de Impala". After this statement the Viridian Entente censured Valid de Impala's government and closed their Embassy to the GPA until he was removed from office. Another Vote of No Confidence was initiated within hours by the GPA Security Council, and on 11 December 2007, Valid de Impala was officially removed from office. The VE has subsequently repealed their censure of the GPA. However the VE, along with many alliances like the NPO,CIS, NpO, GGA, IRON, and others have not put their signatures back on the DoN. Valid de Impala voluntarily resigned from the Green Protection Agency the next day and scheduled his nation Bumblefrak for deletion.
