Charlie Nolan in his election candidacy video for Willemstan Dictator.
"This is uncool, my SuS robot slave has been kicked out of Willemstan."
- Charlie regarding the June 2020 Coup, 06/17/2020.
"I am Charlie Nolan, one of the founding members of Willemstan and a longstanding shadow puppeteer. And I wish to dictate your life with POOP standing by me. Willemstan will be renewed, modernized, and revitalized under my rule through DOO-DOO. I will reorganize this nation and make it feel like more of a nation while recognizing the indivaduality of citizens with SAUSE. Elect me, and you will see some positive changes in the form of my AMOUNGUS Plan. What does this mean? Vote for me to find out."
- Charlie in his Winter 2022 Election campaign video, 12/06/2022.

Dictatorship
Main article: Leadership of Willemstan's Dictators and Presidents
Charlie is currently serving as the 9th Dictator of Willemstan. He came to power in the Winter 2022 Election.
Acting Dictatorship
Main article: Leadership of Willemstan's Dictators and Presidents
Charlie became the first Acting Dictator after Josue appointed Charlie to General when he stepped down, making it the first time the Willemstan line of succession was utilized. He was Acting Dictator from the Willemstan - Wolfenstan War to the Winter 2018 Election. During his reign, he mainly directed the war against Wolfenstan and enforced Tax Collection.
Adminship
Charlie has a long-standing record when it comes to holding power in Willemstan. He was a General during Josue Mejia's Dictatorship and Eli Payton's First Dictatorship back in 2018. He was also an administrator during Annie Payton's rule, as well as Sean Kavanagh's Dictatorship, until the coup. This was the first time Charlie held no administrative power in Willemstan.
Charlie regained adminship as a General during Sean Kavanagh's Second Dictatorship. He was also the sole General under Ian Hampton's Dictatorship. Charlie retained an administrative position during Alexandra and Izzy's Dictatorship, and was promoted to Inner Party status under Izzy's second Dictatorship.
Election Management
Charlie managed all of the Willemstan elections until the Winter 2020 Election. He created and supervised the ballot for each of those elections, and consistently advertised the election process in the Discord server and the Silly School. Due to his role as the executive manager of the elections, he was the often the target of election controversy whenever corruption was suspected. And rightfully so, as he was instrumental in encouraging and covering up corruption in most of the elections. While he did not hold executive power over the Winter 2020 Election due to being fired during the coup, he oversaw the ballot and ran a 24/7 livestream of the election. Following this, Charlie was involved in managing the Summer 2021 Election, Winter 2021 Election, and Summer 2022 Election, but was less involved compared to past elections.
Political Record
Charlie ran for Dictator in the Winter 2020 Election, and earned 7.1% of the vote. He endorsed Sean during that election, redirecting many of his votes from himself to Sean.
Charlie ran for Dictator again in the Winter 2022 Election, in which he won the election and was elected Dictator.
Voting Record
Charlie has partaken in voter fraud and managed vote purchasing for every election until the Winter 2020 Election. In the Winter 2018 Election, Charlie voted for Eli Payton under the name "Alexander Sile", and also voted for Eli in the tiebreaker poll. For the Summer 2019 Election, Charlie voted for Annie Payton. For the Winter 2019 Election, Charlie voted for Andrew Batten. In the Winter 2020 Election, Charlie voted for Natalie Nolan and encouraged vote outsourcing. For the Summer 2021 Election, Charlie voted for Ian, Josue, and Natalie.
Comrades' Choice
Main article: Comrades' Choice Franchise
Charlie is the producer and distributor of Comrades' Choice, which are tapes featuring collections of songs. This franchise was successful at first, racking in plenty of cash for the Willemstan government, but soon, production costs and lack of intrest derailed the franchise. While Comrades' Choice volumes are still produced on the occasion, they are rarely purchased and serve more of a purpose providing demonstrations and entertainment than profit for Willemstan.
SuS
Main article: SuS
SuS is a Discord bot developed by Charlie using Javascript. The bot preforms a variety of functions, but is mostly known for collecting any and all Discord attachments via SuS Premium and storing them in the Mediapool folder. It is also in charge of administering Salt Mine punishments, and used to preform mass suppression of free speech on the server during 2018 - 2020.
Move to Discord
Main article: Move to Discord
Charlie was against the Move to Discord for largely trivial reasons. Shortly after the official vote though, he changed his stance and was soon in favor of the Discord server.
System I
Main article: System I
Charlie was a founder of the System folder, and created it in the HS Student Shared under his name. The folder was eventually deleted by the IT Men.
Tax Collection
Main article: Tax Collection
Charlie has been the longstanding financial manager of Willemstan. He collects all proceeds from Comrades' Choice, donations, and vote purchasing, where he then stores the money in the Bank of Willemstan, a drawer in his desk. However, no revenue has been collected during all of 2020, so Tax Collection may be a dying practice. It was assumed he was not in control of finances during Eli's Second Dictatorship because he was fired from his admin position, but no official statements were ever made on the subject.
Willemstan - Wolfenstan War
Main article: Willemstan - Wolfenstan War
Charlie lead Willemstan during the Willemstan - Wolfenstan War when he was Acting Dictator. Willemstan is considered the winner, but whether or not the war was a success is still up for debate, as the Willemstani public wasn't very interested in the war. He also used the war to push Tax Collection.
System III
Main article: System III
Charlie contributed to System III when it was in use. The folder was eventually scrapped in favor of System IV.
2019 Salvage Operation

Willemstan File Service
Main article: Wilemstan File Service
Charlie developed the Willemstan File Service, a program which downloaded and uploaded files from a server using Discord and SuS. The service was abandoned after System IV was established.
System IV
Main article: System IV
Charlie is one of the three founders of System IV. It is the first of the series to be ran off of school property, and is currently located in Charlie's house. It is also the first to be available to anyone on the internet from anywhere, and is the largest System folder thus far. Aside from shitty viruses and memes, System IV also houses the Willemstan Website. Charlie pays for the Willemstan.com domain and is responsible for all of the javascript components of the website.
Willemstan Wiki
Charlie has been a major contributor to the Willemstan Wiki since its conception in March of 2020. He wrote a handful of the original articles and was responsible for the transfer of the wiki off Google Drive and onto System IV that summer. He programmed the javascript password protection system and other parts of the wiki. Today, he continues to maintain the server and contribute to various articles.
Willemstan Civil War
Main article: Willemstan Civil War
As a member of Sean's administration, Charlie was a supporter of the Willemstan Nationalists. During the war, he also attempted to retake control of the server using an old version of SuS. In the end, his efforts were futile, and the Willemstan Nationalists surrendered. However, it was important to note that Charlie was more impressed with the coup than anything else, and did not really want to regain control of the sever through a counter-coup.
Willemstan I-SHAT System
Main article: Willemstan I-SHAT System
Charlie is the developer of Willemstan's Infrastructure for Severe Harm Alert Technology, or I-SHAT for short. This initiative is a series of homemade sirens; the recent versions are loud enough to be heard from over 1,000 feet away. Surprisingly, no noise complaints have been made so far (aside from Charlie's parents) and monthly tests still occur.
2020 Rescue Operation
Main article: 2020 System IV Rescue Operation
Charlie, along with three other citizens of Willemstan, participated in "Operation SuS Migration", as he called it.

Willemstan WENIS
Main article: WENIS
