Biography
Early days
Almost nothing is known about Jacob in his early days, only that he was a very active state company manager, a position which he got fired from because he raised wages without permission from or deliberation with other state company managers[1]. Not long after his dismissal, he left the game and died for the first time around Day 578.
Resurrection
Jacob came back to life around Day 1280[2], when eRepublik was featured on the front page of several Dutch regional newspapers. At that moment, half of the Netherlands was occupied by Poland.
Jacob bought a lot of gold which he put into new companies and the creation of the Geuzen Partij Nederland, which he consequently became Party President of. GPN grew into the second biggest party within a month, owing to their appeal to new players, and soon after it became the biggest party of the Netherlands. Many people joined the party because of its plans for helping young players. With some ups and downs, they maintained this position for several weeks. Only when the admins removed dead players from party rankings, GPN lost this status for good.
In June 2011, Jacob became State Secretary of Finance, being dismissed halfway his term by then President ArtemIvanov [3][4], due to intolerable behaviour and accusations.
Lastly Jacob ran for the office of President of the Netherlands[5] in the July 2011 elections, but lost them by a huge margin against Heikanu (65.85% - 21.14%).[6].
After he lost, nothing was heard from him again. When he disappeared, he still had to pay the outstanding Congress tax for five of his party members. Jacob subsequently died
