| - Spenzer Roderick (b. April 6th, 2579 - d. July 29th, 2676) was the 3rd Governor-General of Greater Hulstria, serving from 2659 to 2662, and was the 2nd Chairman of the Fascist Authority Party from 2641 to 2662. While only serving one term, Roderick is known for his successful push to completely outlaw segregation in Greater Hulstria and many of the discriminatory policies enacted by the Hulstrian Nationalist Party prior to his administration. Spenzer Roderick was responsible for the massive effort to return the Fascist Authority Party back to national spotlight and a political party once again after 41 years of absence following the sudden death of party founder, Albrecht Ewald; Spenzer Roderick, along with several other allies such as Allen Green, were successful in accomplishing such a goal in 2641. Shortly after Roderick re-founded the party, the Fasicst Authority Party quickly began to take hold in the Hulstrian political scene, capturing a near majority in the 2641 general elections; the successful refounding and the large electoral victory has been coined as the "Resurgence of 2641". Spenzer Roderick would lead the party to its highest successes in the early days of the part restoration; one of Roderick's greatest accomplishment many consider was the winning streak the Fascist Authority Party saw through his tenure as chairman For 25 years in the Imperial Diet, the party remained the undefeated largest party in defiance to the "Anti-Fascist Coalition", a Hulstrian Nationalist Party led effort to counter the FAP's agenda. Spenzer Roderick, in his late 80s then, retired in 2662 but would still remain slightly active in party affairs; on July 29th, 2676, at the age of 97, Spenzer Roderick died of natural causes peacefully at his residence in Graaffsberg. His successes have also got him the label of the "patriarch" of the Roderick political dynasty. Spenzer Roderick was the father of Spenzer Roderick Jr and Franklin Howard Roderick, who would later follow in his footsteps by becoming involved in the Fascist Authority Party, assuming the positions of the the party chairman and vice-chairman respectively in 2666 after ousting Conrad Falk. Spenzer Roderick's descendants include Spenzer Roderick III, Edward Roderick III, and Joseph Roderick II Through his career in the Imperial Diet, Spenzer Roderick was able to accomplish many political victories, both for his party and for Greater Hulstria. Roderick pushed for, and successfully got many, mixed economic, military, infrastructure, educational, and religious reforms passed in the Hulstrian parliament. Legislation like the "Spenzer Documents", "FAP Telephone and Fireworks Proposal", "FAP Infrastructure Act", the "Strong Society Act", the "Company Protection Act", and the "Horst Provision Act", named after Constantine Horst, were just a few of Roderick's many legislative success. Spenzer Roderick also helped establish a National Pension System which covered all Hulstrians and a National Defense Industry with much help from the Hulstrian Labor Party shortly before resigning. However while these laws did change Hulstria, as Governor-General, Spenzer Roderick is remembered mainly for his victorious charge for the final abolishment of segregation between Hulstrians and Gao-Showans. The abolishment of segregation many saw helped future politicans like Tokuro Tanemoto and Naoki Tsukuda see political success.
