Demon Dog, 1st Duke of Arcadia, also known as 1st Earl of Dublin, was the Prime Minister of Palmshire and Lord President of the Council. They are General Secretary and Leader of the Palmshire Communist Party. The Duke of Arcadia was the Foreign Secretary during Cypress and Metaville ministries before he resigned. Arcadia was the Leader of the Opposition from 5 April 2011 until their appointment as Prime Minister on 26 June.

Business career

Lord Dublin is the owner of Googl Labs, which had received a royal charter from King Legion I granting it a monopoly on lucrative arms trade within Palmshire territories for ten years. They also sit on the board of directors for East Winter Company.

Military career

Lord Dublin was appointed Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Foot in the Palmshire Army on 8 January 2011. As commanding officer of the regiment, they were responsible for its recruitment and oversees day-to-day operations of the regiment including training and drills as well appointing officers below their rank in the regiment.

Political career

Lord Dublin was created the Earl of Dublin on 10 December 2010 and took up their seat in the Parliament on 11 December 2010. They were later created the Earl of Arcadia on 8 May 2011, with their Earldom of Dublin becoming subsidiary peerage, a first in Peerage of Palmshire

Lord Dublin was appointed the Foreign Secretary in the Duke of Cypress Hollow's ministry on 8 March 2011. They would later play a critical role in downfall of their Prime Minister by voting, after being bribed by the King, against Cypress-Hollow's government budget in Parliament, which was rejected by margin of one vote on 20 March and led to collapse of the Cypress-Hollow government eight days later. This act was later criticized by some Cypress-Hollow supporters as a treachery and betrayal, while Dublin was rewarded by the King for this act with promise of supporting his proposed funding for Outerplanetary Ballistic Missiles (OPBM), which was later included in the budget passed on 20 April.

On 28 March, they were reappointed to that office in Lord Metaville's ministry. They later resigned on 5 April in protest over the Duchess of Rochester's appointment as the new Prime Minister, for which they had made no secret of having ambitions for. Dublin subsequently declared his Dublin estates seceded and declared war upon the Kingdom of Palmshire, provoking a relatively bloodless yet expensive civil war. After neither side won anything and the war settled into indecisive stalemate, finally Dublin and the Rochester government agreed to an armistice and negotiated the Treaty of Cypress Hollow which was ratified by the Parliament.

Following their resignation, they returned to the Opposition and became its Leader. They later contested election for seat representing parliamentary borough of Cypress Hollow & Rockford but lost to Rochester during the election in June.

First ministry

Following Rochester's resignation from the offices on 25 June, Lord Arcadia was asked the following day by Legion I to form a new government, which they accepted. However, they faced challenges of getting his government's legislations passed in Parliament, since they were heading a minority government, lacking majority in either houses of the Parliament. This meant dependence on cross-benchers, or independents, to ensure their government sponsored legislations get passed. Eventually their government lost a parliamentary vote on 22 July.

In response to defeat of his government's budget, Arcadia asked Legion I to dissolve the Parliament, which was granted, triggering general election which was held between 23 July to August 1. Their party won an additional seat in the Commons (he was elected to a seat there) but failed to secure the parliamentary majority there. They later tendered their resignation to the King, which was accepted. The Duchess of Rochester then succeeded them as the Prime Minister.

After first ministry

They were later appointed Foreign Secretary in the second Rochester Ministry on 4 August and was raised to Marquess peerage rank the next day. They were again elevated as the duke on 25 December.
