Ronald Middleton

The Honourable Sir Ronald Lawrence Middleton IV (18 June 1931-31 December 1979) was an Anglo-Pacifican politician. During his life, Middleton had served as the eighth prime minister of Pacifica from 5 February 1965 to 9 October 1979.

His leadership used a conservative and libertarian method of viewing the world, openly showing dissatisfaction towards communism and his predecessor, Reynold Davis. He is considered to be a controversial politician to many people of Pacifica, with many stating that he had expanded Pacifica's influence and increased its quality of living while others say that he was hypocritical and incompetent at times, often ruling with an iron fist whilst allowing other people to do as they pleased.

Birth
Ronald Middleton was born on 18 June 1931 to Ronald Lawrence and Lorraine (née Karelski) Middleton in Sudbury, Livingston. He was the fifth of eight children born to the Middletons, who also had 5 daughters and 2 other sons.

Childhood
One can describe his childhood as a challenging albeit privileged one as his mother nearly commited suicide while she was arguing with his father, but decided to run away instead when he was seven. After about five years, his father remarried though he initially hid the fact that he had to his children in order to not make them upset. As a result, he was unable to meet his stepmother until he was 16 years old.

Before Politics
Once he was out of the house, Middleton decided to move abroad to the United States in order to attend Harvard University to study law. Within three years, he was able to graduate nearly at the top of his class, though when he realized this he attempted to fight the student with the highest academic standing. Almost getting arrested that night, he left the U.S. in a slightly depressed state.
