George Owain Merwyn is a Calbain nationalist politician who served as Governor-General from 1710 until 1718. A former school teacher, he joined the Nationalist Faction in 1680, and was first elected to the Cynulliad Cenedlaethol in the 1696 elections, when the nationalist wave swept the assembly. Previously, Merwyn served as spokesman for education and home affairs. Merwyn is regarded to belong to the centre-left wing of the faction. Merwyn's government was characterised by an increase in public institutions, such as the Purity Programme which seeks to "uphold and grow the physical and spiritual health of the nation".
Merwyn served a double term, after the breakout of a wave of terrorist violence from right-wing extremist groups that gripped the nation starting in 1711 with the assassination of Llywelyn of Pentyre, the heir apparent to become the Prince of the Calbain. Various groups, most notably the currently largely repressed Gwarcheidwaid y Genedl Bur, carried out several bombings and political assassinations with the aim of overturning Calbion's democratic system and granting the Prince of the Calbain absolute power.
The last years of his tenure were marked by combatting insurgent terrorist movements that sought to turn Calbion into an absolute monarchy.
