- The current political climate is one of great change. The past four years
- have been a time of economic growth and government downsizing. There
- have been no military conflicts for four years and not much internal
- turmoil. The United Nations has taken a stronger role in managing
- international conflict, of which there is little.

- Richard Marx, the current president, has enjoyed a rather event-free term of
- office. He has spent a great deal of time at fund raisers for various
- social causes even though he had run his campaign on a very conservative
- platform. His foreign policy dealings have been more for show than for
- gaining foreign interests. The president has maintained a slightly
- fluctuating approval rating, now at 55%. He is dropping in the polls
- due to competition in the current election race.
