Second Gillard Government (Joan of What?)

The chancellorship of Dorian Brandt began at noon CST on 6 February 2015, when Brandt became the 32nd Chancellor of the Empire of the United Cygnian States; Theodore V has been Emperor throughout Brandt's tenure. Brandt's running mate, Senator Charlie Chen of Campbell, took office as Vice Chancellor on the same day. Brandt was an Imperial Senator from South Gascoyne at the time of his victory over the Unitarian nominee former President of West Kimberley Matthias Trent in the 2014 cancellarial election. Brandt is the first foreign chancellor, and the tenth Democratic Labour chancellor.

Brandt's major actions have addressed the increasingly outdated education system and included a student subsidy system, and significant educational reform. He also introduced and passed legislation to reform healthcare. Brandt during his term thus far has taken steps to combat climate change, signing an executive order to limit carbon emissions as well as a major international climate agreement. Brandt also presided over the passage and implementation of the Immigration Act of 2016. Brandt also appointed Supreme Court Justice Ayane Sato who became the first Japanese Cygnian on the Supreme Court. Democratic Labour currently controls both houses of Congress. Brandt's term is set to end on 6 February 2019, when either he will begin his second term, or the 33rd Chancellor will take office, depending on the outcome of the 2018 cancellarial election.
