Her Excellency Lady Dana Ananto-Alvarez has retired from her role as Viceroy of Gaduridos.  The long serving Royal was named Viceroy in 5599, and has served as the Emperor's representative in the Southern Kingdom ever since.  Her replacement, Sir Alejandro Lopez de Leon, was named last month in preparation for the Viceroy's retirement.

Lady Dana Ananto-Alvarez started her career taking over for her father, Lord Mark Ananto as the operating head of House Ananto and Miramar Holdings.  In her role, she oversaw tremendous expansion of private capital into Gaduridos, as well as the growth of the Coffee Industry in Gaduridos, and the founding of the Steel Industry.  Since then, there has been constant investment in various sectors, but news from Gaduridos has been relatively quiet, as development there was overshadowed by the war.

The new Viceroy, Sir Alejandro Lopez de Leon, was the Director of Operations for Miramar in Gaduridos when he was named Viceroy.  The 36 year old portfolio manager oversaw the 5623 Diversification Campaign which raised more than ₭557 Million from Gaduri investors to build a new electrical arc blast furnace at the Cuernatecas Steel Mill with the aim of doubling the plant's output. Sir Alejandro received his education in Gaduridos, and is known as a populist while retaining the reputation of being an inside man. Lady Dana nominated Lopez de Leon as her successor, and he received an important endorsement from Lady Michelle Ananto-Sandoval, who said she looks forward to continuing to work with him in improving the investment climate and industries of Gaduridos.

Lady Dana intends to retire to her estate in Vespiano Marlingantos with her husband Sir Christopher Bjorksdattir, and spend their days working with local organization to expand childrens' access to health care in rural Vintalli, between visits to her daughter, Reina Nicole, in Egelion. She is currently 72.
