Richard Maxin

Richard Barnacle Maxin was the 39th President of the Pacific Ocean. Prior to his presidency he served as the 88th Mayor of New Kelp City.

Early Life
Maxin was born in "The Trench" 50 miles west of Shell City. He grew up fending for himself and surviving from the monsters that murdered all living fish. When he was 20 he moved to Shell City to become a poet. He failed at it and was beaten up badly. He had a desperate need to prove himself to other fish folk around the lower part of it.

Politics
Maxin was sick and tired of living poor and being pushed down all the time so he moved to New Kelp City to live. When he got there it was the same for him but he had a sudden interest in Politics. He decided to run for Mayor that very next year. He ran as a Republican and won on a land slide.

The Mayor of New Kelp City
When Maxin was declared Mayor, he requested the national guard to stop the Gang wars in downtown New Kelp. The wars were so bad that some gangs teamed up to fight the National Guard. He also had another crisis going on, it was the Industrial Park location problem. The Industrial Park Main Office was being attacked by the Krab Gang for the money. Maxin went to the Industrial Park building and met with the CEO of the Industrial Park company Ron Burns to figure out a new location. Maxin was shot at by the leader of the Krab Gang and was hit in the left arm. He was rushed to the hospital and survived. The city was in ruins with explosions, riots and anarchy in the streets. Tanks were shooting at buildings in the south sector of the city and the army could not stop the ruthless gangs. The lower borough of the city was named "The Hot Spot". Maxin did not seek re election four years later

First Term
Maxin ran for President and won. He lowered taxes and lowered big Government. He had to deal with the Communist party of Planktous with Nuclear missiles. He had the military on high alert and was locked and loaded if attacked. On August 4th The Planktous Army shot down an Arctic plane and killed 200 innocent fish. Maxin was planning an attack but right before the Pacific ocean was going to attack there were papers leaked and the whole ocean knew about it. After that, Maxin did not trust anyone and started to audio tape his conversations to try to catch someone in a lie. He won re election 3 years later.

Second Term
Off the coast of Guam, Super villain Man Ray established his own country and government as a brutal dictatorship. Man Ray and Planktous President Wertenza met in Planktopolis. Maxin was worried that the two nations would attack the pacific ocean. So he attempted to reach out to Man Ray but there was no response. Maxin traveled to the other side of the world in the Atlantic Ocean to meet with Atlantic President Franz Qwartenza. The two agreed to work together if any nation was attacked by the two axis of evil. When he returned to the pacific Ocean Maxin met with Man Ray at an historic event called "The Yema Summit". The two met and signed a no aggression pact agreement. Maxin later had to raise the taxes to save the working middle class. Maxin did not seek another term as president so he stepped down.

Post Presidency
Maxin retired to Bikini Bottom, Pacific Ocean. He lived in a house in Coral Hills. He died of a heart attack at Bikini Medical Center. He was 74.
