About Artela
Artela spent a good deal of her early life in eRepublik as a temporary resident of London in the eUK (due to the limitations of available healthcare under v1, and then due to the ongoing wars in v2, and subsequently due to the ever-present threats by the US-Canada-Ireland alliance), but she moved to the South West of England when the eUK joined the Terra alliance. She wanted to see fair politics within the eUK, a strong economy, and a strong politically-neutral military capability to defend Britain.
She was elected to the South West of England constituency for Congress for 2 terms in April and May 2010, the first of those terms being on eDay 20 of her eLife. Having become disillusioned with the direction the SDP were taking she founded the new party The Real Democrats (TRD) when she was eDay 102 old. When she got to age 170 eDays she realised that TRD and her were taking different paths with the party moving further right, and so she transferred over to the Radical Freethinkers Alliance for a short while to see if they were a better match. They weren't, so she then spent a little time in the political wilderness, before returning home to the British Democratic Party (the new name for TRD) on eDay 1133, becoming the new Secretary General and Vice-President of the Party on eDay 1152. Artela was elected to Congress again for the South West of England on eDay 1163.
On eDay 1163 Artela co-founded Every Single One (ESO) alongside its primary founder, jamesw.
On eDay 1254 she moved to The Unity Party (TUP), and became Party President on eDay 1304.
Artela was a follower of Teaism, but converted to Dioism on her eMarriage to The Duke of Hokkaido. She is the Baroness of Devonshire, losing the title of Duchess of Hokkaido on the annulment of her eMarriage, although retaining faith in Dioism.
Artela moved to the USA during the week commencing eDay 1334, and, having already joined the Ultramarines MU, took citizenship on eDay 1342 and joined the United States Workers Party (USWP). She is still very happy with her eLife in the USA, has undertaken many roles in the government administration, and keeps on getting elected into Congress.

Political Career
Parliamentary Career
Artela stood for Congress for 2 terms in 2010 in the same constituency, (South West of England), and both times managed to get elected with the most votes of any candidate outside of London. She has never made promises about how much she will be able to influence the others within Congress as there is no point in making promises that cannot be kept! However she always promised that she would do her best to vote against stupid laws and vote in favour of sensible ones, and to provide an ear to her constituents and to party members so that they could come forward with proposals so that she could truly represent them within Congress. Additional manifesto information was published during April and May 2010 in Artela's newspaper at the following link [1].
Artela once again returned to Congress in 2011 for the South West of England region on eDay 1163 to server her 3rd term.
