Yatet Veria Umia (born 4951 CY), better known as Veria, is a Tizi politician, political theorist, and activist. He served as Head-of-State during Tizi's 5th Convening Parliamentary between 4620 CY and 4626 CY. Following the 4626 Tizi coup d'etat, Veria was removed from office and exiled to Tizi's northern protectorate, Lon.
In the 4620, Veria won the Tizi National Head-of-State election beating his predecessor and Head-of-State incumbent, Arts Mikora. His victory was seen as monumental as it became the highest turnout since the 4596 Tizi National Election. Furthermore, Veria took office at the age of 29, making him one of the youngest to ever serve as Head-of-State in Tizi.
Veria was the second Tizi Union Party member to hold Head-of-State after Kitarma Yulse. He ran primarily on a platform aimed at public education and budget reforms, relaxed trade regulations, and a progressive pension system for Tizi and Lon retirees. While in office, Veria managed to pass several other progressive policies such as regulated train and tram reform and the development of protected environment zones. A couple years into his term, Veria gradually became a staunch anti-Trihne despite campaigning on a "neutral approach" to the military situation in Tizi. While popular in his party and with his target voters, this development in Veria's political stance angered traditionalist, certain centrist elements, and large parts of the Tizi Armed Forces. His views as an anti-Trihne were seen as the powder keg that eventually led to the 4626 Tizi coup d'etat.
