Zôçey Seğâren (born 2 October 1967) is a Balak-Gushli politician serving as the 3rd and current president of Balakia since December 21 2013, and was the 2nd Great Khan of Gushlia from March 21 2018 until November 18 2018 He was a key figure during the collapse of the Union of Shomosvan, and has remained a notable force in Balak politics following the country's independence in 2001.

Seğâren was born in the Koman capital of Samadar, where he resided and grew up with the rest of the Gushli royal family. Here he studied politics at the Imperial State College and acquired knowledge of military tactics through traditional studies programs.

In 1999 Seğâren began assisting fledgling republican groups in uprisings against the Shomosvani government, having already collaborated with the Koman government to X. X. Following Balakia's independence from Shomosvan and the establishment of the Provisional Government, Seğâren became a member of the Party for the Republic, and was appointed as the new country's first Minister for Defence in 2002 by President Çinden Kadanaşim. It was at this time that he renounced all future claims to the Gushli throne, effectively severing his royal ties with the rest of the Seğâren dynasty, declaring his intent to fully dedicate himself to the republic he helped to birth. Seğâren resigned as Minister for Defence in [year] due to disagreements with President Kadanaşim's policies and concerns over his legitimacy to govern the country.

Seğâren called a snap election in 2015 with parliamentary approval in response to the deadlock over proposed constitutional amendments allowing individual states to represent themselves in international organisations on matters solely concerning the state. Although he won and gained a larger majority in the Common Council, it was not until making certain compromises that the amendment was finally passed.

Following the death of his father Sagam II and his successive ascension to the throne, Seğâren became a party to the Gushli succession crisis. From here his presidency has been mired in controversy and subject to backlash from critics, especially in light of his initial rejection of the throne.

Collapse of Shomosvan

Motivated by his desire for the liberation of Balakia and Gushlia from the Kúúlist Shomosvani regime, Seğâren began to co-operate with the Koman government, in particular the Ministry of National Security, in 1995 to X. Following the absorption of Zinsha and Vogia into Shomosvan in 1996, Seğâren became involved in the disruption of already-weak supply lines between the newly acquired territories and the political core, engaging in raids and other forms of sabotage.

In 1999 Seğâren was tasked with directly assisting Koman-supported rebel groups using the knowledge of military tactics he gained at the ISC in the aftermath of the Rasha Insurrection.

Minister for Defence

Following the achievement of full independence from the Union of Shomosvan and the establishment of a provisional government under President Svârnen Şicuyaşim in 2002, Seğâren was appointed as the country's first Minister of Defence.

Political positions

To these ends he supports the rights of individual states in Balakia whilst also supporting a strong federal government to keep them in order.
