Bach Zhaa, 1st Baron Oxford was a member of Palmshire House of Lords and Prime Minister of Palmshire in 2011. He was former Foreign Secretary in the Duchess of Rochester's Cabinet.
Public life
Lord Oxford is best known for hosting Town Hall meetings and had helped revived AWTours with other people as team, and is currently one of the most prominent Active Worlds citizens.
Political career
Lord Oxford was originally created the Viscount Metaville in 4 November 2010 and took up his seat in Parliament on 20 March 2011. He later joined Communist Party on 25 May.
Prime Minister (2011)
After the Duke of Cypress Hollow's government fell, the King turned to Lord Metaville for taking over as caretaker Prime Minister pending appointment of a new permanent Prime Minister. Lord Metaville accepted and took office in 28 March. His tenure as Prime Minister was relatively uneventful and in any event a shortest one at this time for a Prime Minister.
Foreign Secretary
After the Duchess of Rochester came to power as new Prime Minister on 5 April, she asked him to become her government's Foreign Secretary which he accepted. First crisis to face the Foreign Office after he took over was the civil war that broke out after Lord Dublin, who was his predecessor as Foreign Secretary that served in Metaville's first brief ministry, refused to accept the Rochester's appointment as Prime Minister. The war, while relatively bloodless, proved to be expensive as the forces has been expanded and the government were buying up arms. In any case, the war finally came to end with armistice less than a month after it started.
Lord Metaville was later dismissed from office on 26 May after Rochester discovered he joined the Communist party, led by her rival Lord Arcadia (as Lord Dublin is now known).
Later political career
Following Lord Arcadia's appointment as Prime Minister on June 26, he accepted appointment as Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer that day.
