| '''Katherine Hessen''' is a character created by a spammer in late 2024. She is the protagonist of multiple spam messages sent to chat in late 2024, and of pastes on the canvas. The narrative resembles a word-swapped version of the real-life conflict between Israel and Hamas. According to the spammer, Hessen has "killed 450,000 kids in Galsi" (Galsi being Gaza). Within the lore, there have been allusions to Kelsentia (Israel) and Andirika (America). A Uvias account named KatherineHessen exists, through which political campaign-style messages have been posted. Of note is that Katherine Hessen and Kamala Harris have the same initials.

| <blockquote>
| |
| Green Garden, Andirika – Fourth-term presidential hopeful Katherine Hessen
| |
| made a statement at the Verdant Nuclear Energy Corporation's new Garden
| |
| Generating Station, vowing to crack down on the coal industry by introducing
| |
| new environmental regulations on coal plants across the country, if she were
| |
| to be made the fourth president of Andirika.
| |
|
| |
| "As President of Andirika, I will crack down on the coal mining industry that
| |
| has killed over 5,000.", she said in a television commercial that aired last
| |
| Friday in the Greater Garden. Her fundraising campaigns have been successful
| |
| thus far, managing to raise over 8.3 million credits in the last 13 days alone.
| |
|
| |
| The Garden Generating Station is a new 8.3-billion credit nuclear power plant .
| |
| that is expected to serve Green Garden's growing population, as coal plants
| |
| across the country struggle to keep up even after rolling blackouts were
| |
| enacted in January 2024, across all of West Kirsten, a province of over 3
| |
| million. Consisting of four reactors, it is enough to feed 3.4x the current
| |
| power needs of Green Garden, and relieve the aforementioned rolling blackouts.
| |
| It will come online on August 2, according to the VNEC.
| |
|
| |
| Her coal industry crackdown, part of her pledges to protect the environment,
| |
| is just one of her many promises, which have included protections for LGBTQ+
| |
| people and a bill of rights for them, the repeal of anti-abortion laws, and
| |
| better Internet privacy laws. ⠀
| |
|
| |
| The current president of Andirika, Ronald Trombone, slammed Hessen's policies
| |
| as being against the working class. "Hessen wants to take away YOUR JOBS, to
| |
| help support Big Uranium, Big Thorium, and Big Plutonium. Will you let them do
| |
| that?", he said at a campaign rally just the day before, on July 27. However,
| |
| most coal mine workers are skilled and middle-class, as most mining is done
| |
| using machines and excavators. Many on social media took this as a sign of
| |
| Trombone's campaign failing to do its research, or worse yet, a deliberate
| |
| misinformation attempt.
| |
|
| |
| Hessen, due to Andirika's constitutional three consecutive term limit, was
| |
| ineligible for the elections in 2016. While she endorsed her running mate,
| |
| Ashley Prater, who became vice president in 2008, Prater remained unpopular as
| |
| voters delivered a decisive victory to Trombone's campaign across multiple
| |
| districts during the 2016 elections, granting him his first term as president.
| |
|
| |
| By the start of the late 2020s, Trombone became unpopular. His stance against
| |
| the LGBTQ+ community became more well-known, being at odds with the primarily
| |
| young voter-base that Hessen has been catering to during the campaign period.
| |
| Allegations that the military assisted mobs in killing 13 transgender women in
| |
| Kessler last February under his orders further tarnished his reputation, while
| |
| the Andirikan Congress chose Hessen to lead a special committee in 2023 to
| |
| investigate the murders, and later to track down the officers responsible.
| |
|
| |
| Opinion polls held in Green Garden by political watchdog group Fair Vote
| |
| revealed 74% of respondents supported Hessen. Common reasons included Hessen's
| |
| beliefs, Trombone's extremism, and Hessen's role in investigating the Kessler
| |
| Massacre. "Our surveys have made it abundantly clear that Hessen is bound to
| |
| win the election this November 5.", said Fair Vote, in a reply to one of our
| |
| emails.
