Horatius Domingo was a governor of Seven for around four months in 1927. He was born in Little Europe in 1889 to parents of Italian origin. Little is clear about his early life, but he was living in Kinley by 1918, having spent some time fighting in the First World War. In 1925, he stood, to everyone's surprise, as a virtually unknown independent candidate in the 1927 state elections, against the powerful figures of Flintist James Nelson, Unionist Erick Simon and socialist Henri Burton. His campaign focus was on a platform of reconciliation between the various ethnic communities of Seven, and in particular building a railway between Kinley and Novosevensk.

  • Horatius Domingo was a governor of Seven for around four months in 1927. He was born in Little Europe in 1889 to parents of Italian origin. Little is clear about his early life, but he was living in Kinley by 1918, having spent some time fighting in the First World War. In 1925, he stood, to everyone's surprise, as a virtually unknown independent candidate in the 1927 state elections, against the powerful figures of Flintist James Nelson, Unionist Erick Simon and socialist Henri Burton. His campaign focus was on a platform of reconciliation between the various ethnic communities of Seven, and in particular building a railway between Kinley and Novosevensk. As the rank outsider in the race, it came as a tremendous shock when Domingo was elected; incumbent James Nelson was particularly angry and threatened 'revenge.' The railway project began and Domingo's popularity proved short-lived as the expense of the project became clear. and also because of some nasty accidents that occured. Novosevensk separatists also on numerous occasions attempted to sabotage the construction, which they felt was threatening their distinct culture. Domingo persisted despite his approval ratings dropping to record-breaking lows until his sudden and highly suspicious death later that year, which was attributed in the popular press either to suicide or assassination. The railway, which by then reached over two miles north of Kinley, was abandoned. Nelson seized power once again, without election, claiming, 'immediate action is needed to reverse the damage done by this inexperienced fool.' Nelson was suspected of being involved Domingo's death, and the collection of evidence began, but Nelson committed suicide in 1930 before the case could reach court.
