As a member of the [[Partido Federal (Ardisphere)|Partido Federal]] during a period of backlash against the intense socialism of the 1930s and early 1940s under the [[Partido Socialista (Ardisphere)|Partido Socialista]], he was considered a mediocre president, who seemed too bogged down in domestic politics to be effective. Further, the so-called "Caza de Rosaditos" ("hunt for pinkos"), a series of anti-communist trials and hearings in the Federal Congress, tainted his presidency when they were later discredited as having been based more on ideology than on genuine threats to Ardispherian security.

She is in the fourth year of her first five-year term in office (two terms are allowed by the constitution), having taken office on October 15, 2010.  


Recognizing his unpopularity, after ceding control of the party he declined the renomination for a second term. Instead, the Federalists nominated the charismatic [[Carlota Juárez y Cabal]]. Subsequent to his successor's victory in the 1950 election, she appointed him as ambassador to [[Karolia]], where he served for 7 years before moving on to a position as Ardispherian representative to the [[Assembly of Nations]]. Most historians evaluate his diplomatic career more positively than his political career, as he seemed to effectively separate himself from the rough-and-tumble of Ardispherian domestic politics. In fact, he remained ambassador to the AN even after the opposition Socialists took the presidency in 1960.
Nowak's political career has been meteoric. Until 1997, she was a successful university professor of Castellanese literature, teaching at the [[Universidad Autónoma del Distrito Federal]]. She was, however, married to the popular governor of the Distrito Federal, [[Eliandro Chang]] (only the most recent dynast of the vastly successful [[Chang Family]]) - hence the expedient "de Chang" on her name, as most Ardispherian women no longer follow the old custom of suffixing their husband's name to their own.

Nowak at the AN, 2012.

Montserrat Nowak de Chang (born 1959, Villa Constitución, DF), is the current president of the Ardispheric Federation. She is in the fourth year of her first five-year term in office (two terms are allowed by the constitution), having taken office on October 15, 2010.

Nowak's political career has been meteoric. Until 1997, she was a successful university professor of Castellanese literature, teaching at the Universidad Autónoma del Distrito Federal. She was, however, married to the popular governor of the Distrito Federal, Eliandro Chang (only the most recent dynast of the vastly successful Chang Family) - hence the expedient "de Chang" on her name, as most Ardispherian women no longer follow the old custom of suffixing their husband's name to their own.

When Chang was diagnosed with cancer in 1996, he decided not to seek a third term as governor. His Partido Socialista selected District Prosecutor Lalia Herdez to be his successor, to stand in the 1997 election. However, she was a mediocre candidate from the start and several financial scandals from her time as mayor in Siete Colinas forced her to withdraw. The Socialists were in panic, lacking a candidate with only weeks before the election, and it appeared inevitable that they would lose their half-century monopoly on the District's governership. A group of student activists approached Professor Nowak to stand for her husband's position, and after consulting with her family, she did.

She served two full terms as governor, and was highly successful - arguably much more charismatic than her husband (who, after his successful battle against cancer, seemed content to retreat from the public sphere). Thus when the Socialists were casting about for a fresh face to recapture the presidency from the Partido Federal, they forcefully recruited "La Profe" (La Profesora), as she is affectionately called.

Nowak ended up running unopposed in the primaries - rare in the modern epoch - and went on to win an easy victory against the disorganized Federalist's Jacobina Rossini in September, 2010.
