| - Prince Dimitri of Lovia (born April 13, 1991, Noble City) is a Prince of Lovia, and King between 2007 and 2013 (with the exception of a short period from November 2008 to August 2009) until his abdication in favour of his cousin Sebastian. He was the sixth monarch of Lovia, the nephew of the late King Arthur III. He ascended to the throne on November 9, 2007. After a successful but short reign, he stepped down as King of Lovia in August 2008 citing personal reasons, thus leaving Lovia to the remaining government forces, which were incapable of governing properly for over a year. On November 9, 2009 however, Dimitri Noble returned and was crowned for the second time, leading the country to both political and economic success. After a long period of seclusion from 2011 onwards, however, his popularity began to wane, particularly after the Lovian Civil War. His cousin Sebastian openly called Dimitri a coward. In August 2013, Dimitri announced he was abdicating for a second time, citing firstly his political views, which he stated were incompatible with fulfilling his duties as a monarch, and a desire to live as a private citizen rather than lifelong Head of State. As his brother, the Crown Prince Alexander, chose not to take up the throne, it fell to Dimitri's second cousin Sebastian to become king. It is argued by many that Dimitri's dramatic loss of popularity following the Donia Coup of May 2013 dealt the final blow to his Kingship. In addition to his role as monarch, Dimitri was also elected Governor of Sylvania between 2008 and 2010, as well as the ceremonial role of Mayor of Noble City, and was active in several neighborhood projects. Prince Dimitri is a student, businessman, occasional producer and actor, sigillist and philanthropist. Up until 2011, Dimitri was actively involved in Lovian politics and was one of the greatest contributors to the Constitution and Federal Law. His political engagement earned him a reputation of "dictator" or "despot" among republicans, fascists and communists. In 2010, the King himself and the leading political parties PD/CPL.nm legally reformed and downsized several aspects of the King's political power. It has been noted by both proponents of the government and opposition members that Lovia is governed more democratically than it was in 2007/2008. Since 2011, when Dimitri retired altogether from politics, the role of the monarch has ceased to be a major issue in Lovia. In late 2009, King Dimitri I announced that he was in a relationship with Mary Elisabeth Nelson, a Lovian graduate student and university researcher. The couple had been engaged since December 3, 2009 and were married on January 16th, 2011. Mary Elisabeth became Lovia's first queen since 1956. After his marriage, the King became inactive and has taken a very subdued role in Lovian politics. He even failed to carry out the few remaining duties required by the constitution following extensive reforms. He rarely attended sessions of Congress. Due to this new smaller role in politics, his Member by Right status was revoked by the 2011 State Reform, though he was reinstated as an observer by the 2012 Judicial Reform.
