Jerry Striker (born 11 January, 1970) took office shortly after John Batther (born 13 June, 1969) had left running under the Conservative Republic Party. During his elections he traveled to colonies in the Pacific Islands to ones inside the Grestonian home region, the Mediterranica. Once voted in by fair elections he inherited the title of His Excellency the Absque Count of Throppe, a fief bought from Their Excellencies of the Regency Council in Paloni.
