Coronel Augustus Strong (retd), born 12.VI.1626 AN in New Berlin (Mehrshahr), Luthoria. Politician, officer, colonial administrator, settler, tea planter. A member of the Alexandrian and Caputian diasporas he was, in consequence, one of "that generation whom fate had made acutely aware of the painful impermanence of settled nations on Micras".
An erstwhile Caputian - Augustus Strong made his name as the commander of the reconnaissance mission which laid the foundations for the ultimately ill-fated settlement of the regions around Lake Morovia. Governor of Morovian-Patrovia, administering the colonial settlement of the region he had reconnoitred, Augustus was a partisan of the administration led by Royston Merrick during the dying days of the Caputian state. Exonerated by a court of honour in regards to certain allegations that had bedevilled the old regime, Augustus oversaw the evacuation of the remaining settlers under his charge into the territories of the Wechua, thereafter taking service in the armies of the Sapa Wechu during the travails of that nation. A member of the N&H Club in Parap, Augustus aligned with the Federalists and Raspurists during the period of the Alduro-Wechuan Federation and was rewarded with a fresh commission to participate as a Colonel during the pacification of Lyrica. The benefit of this latest period of service was manifested in the receipt of a tea plantation in North Lyrica.
Led an active campaign on behalf of the Federal Humanist Party in the 1693 Nouvelle Alexandrie General Election which saw the party obtain the largest overall share of the vote but fall short of an absolute majority. Acclaimed as Co-Archon of an affiliate National Sector Party on 10.I.1694 AN. Received letters patent from the Crown on 3.III.1694 AN appointing him President of the Government of National Unity which was formed by the FHP with the Cambio Democrático, and the Digger's Society, and envisaged to run from 1694 AN to 1699 AN. Under the terms of the coalition agreement the Presidency and Vice-Presidency would rotate between FHP and Cambio control on an alternating annual basis.
