Political Career
On her first day as a Member of the National Assembly, Taliah Gobar was contacted by numerous party leaders in attempts to gain her support for various government coalitions. Before she completed negotiations with any particular group, Bent Jansma motioned to invest her as Prime Minister of Doggerland, which was seconded by Prussian Dixie. The motion was put to a vote, and Taliah unexpectedly gained support from all sides, receiving 24 votes for the investment and 8 against before then-President Apples Clarke vetoed the motion and granted a mandate to Solidarity for government formation. Due to her surprising popularity, Taliah was offered various cabinet positions, which she graciously accepted, eventually rising to the position of Deputy Prime Minister.

On October 10, 2021, Taliah Gobar publicly denounced then-Prime Minister Shawty Forbes' handling of the Noardlân Crisis, in which protests in the north turned violent, and the Prime Minister declared martial law and banned protesting until the crisis was over. Due to her comments on the situation, the Prime Minister temporarily removed her from the cabinet, which he almost immediately regretted. After requiring the Prime Minister to make a formal apology, Taliah rejoined the cabinet, but her support of the north was only strengthened.

As the new Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, Taliah Gobar began a trip to Noardlân on October 19, 2021 to meet with provincial and local leaders of the north in an attempt to heal the wounds caused by the government during the Noardlân Crisis. She also visited the various power plants in the north, including the DonCo. Family Power Plant in Crohall, to see the progress produced by the Thorium Power Act and Nuclear Committee of Research (NCR) so far. She ended her trip by returning to the Vikingland Islands, where she would speak with the people who elected her to the National Assembly to learn more about the issues facing them.
