Thomas Spielmann
Description
About
Although at 17 he is still in education, Thomas has expressed an interest in taking after his mother. He is resolute, though, that he wishes to earn his place in politics, rather than to inherit it. He is aware, as such, that this would mean he would be unable to stand in One Europe any time in the near future, but has his fingers crossed for for a few revolutions of government's time, after his mother has left office. This is Thomas's ultimate goal, although he has mulled the office of Foreign Minister before ascending to the First.

Dietricha Reifsneider grew up in your average working-class Europan household, in Potsdam-Mittelmark, Brandenburg, Germany. Her father was a Shop Steward within the Europan Workers' Union and an ardent Trade Unionist, a fact she has long claimed brought the subject of politics to her family's dining table from an early age. She resided over the founding of a new wing of the ailing Europan Workers' Party and later presided over it as it split to form a new political party, One Europe, which she would lead over a decade later to success at the elections.
An Austrian living in Berlin, Burkhard and Dietricha met as PR interns whilst corroborating on a marketing campaign almost 30 years ago. It wouldn't be for another six years, with Dietricha working as a junior member of the Europan Worker's Party and Burkhard having moved on to Traumbild, the EWP's PR company, that the couple would meet again and eventually begin to date. Only one year later they would marry and have their first son, Lukas.
In his mid-20s, Lukas is currently studying to be an architect, a career choice which took both his parents by surprise. Unlike his younger brother, his has no qualms with dropping the names of his parents if there is any chance it will get him ahead in such a competitive industry. He has raised several eyebrows at the dining table in the First Ministerial Palace when suggesting that the centuries-old building out to be torn down and replaced with something 'a little less second century and a little more twenty-second'.
