The wheel of fate landed on Bahrain this week. I sat down with President https://app.warera.io/user/69f1ecf08fac02fe66949960 to discuss the growing pains of a newly independent nation, before catching up with the Vice President https://app.warera.io/user/69b7d20fac25743c3fc17cb8for a look at the lighter side of Bahraini life.

President https://app.warera.io/user/69f1ecf08fac02fe66949960, now in his second term and a founding member of the Indonesian Kokmanis Party and MU Supernova, his administration’s focus is entirely on steering Bahrain through its inaugural chapter as a sovereign state.
When asked about the current state of the government, the President didn’t mince words, describing it as "full of conflict." Between sharp political disagreements and the heat of recent congressional elections
"Because Bahrain is currently in the transition period of independence, there are some people who are trying to troll because they were elected to congress, and currently the re-election of congress is taking place"
However, rather than letting the situation boil over, the government has opted for transparency, releasing public clarification articles to explain the "why" behind their independence and their plan to learn from past mistakes.

In the future we will look for the right alliance, where Bahrain has a voice, not just a country that is always suspected.
For the immediate future, however, the administration is turning its focus inward toward economic growth.
I followed up with what criticism of his government he thinks is fair.
His answer was refreshingly honest.
We are too wasteful during war, because to be honest, we don't have much damage, because on average we are still at lvl 25 with not enough wealth, but we continue to improve in this matter
We then shifted gears to the "meat" of my passion for these articles. To learn about the real world questions, this is when https://app.warera.io/user/69b7d20fac25743c3fc17cb8 joined our conversation.
I had asked about stereotypes, and they joked
I think secret fact that most of us disagree with it while we live from it probably... drama? We live off of it but we want controlled drama.
For anyone planning a visit, the recommendations were top-tier:
The Food: Grab a street shawarma, but save room for Balaleet, stating it's a must try.
The Sights: The President recommended the Bahrain Fort in Manama, citing "it's a beautiful place, cuz its desert but kind of more modern and luxury"
As I'll ask every country. Who has the best memes? They said the USA, making it the second country in a row to say so
As we wrapped up, the President asked where the tour was headed next. The answer is the same as always. I don't know. The wheel decides.
My mission remains to visit every nation I can, uncovering the personalities and diplomatic adventures that make War Era the community it is today.
