Rosalind Myers

Rosalind Myers is the current president of the New United States of America, and the former CEO of Militech.

2050s - 2070s
After the death of Militech's CEO Donald Lundee, Rosalind Myers became his successor in leading the corporation. She was described as a proponent of peace and a distinguished politician that oversaw the NUSA's rapid economy recovery, while also having an interventionist and protectionist stance. Myers was CEO of Militech for almost a decade.

It was in the late 2060s when Myers would succeed Elizabeth Kress as the President of the New United States of America, leaving her former position at Militech to Lucas Harford.

In 2069, the recently elected President Myers presented a unification program to extend federal rule over the Free States under the pretense of strengthening the Union. Most of the Free States opposed unification, concluding in the NUSA instigated conflict that became known as the Unification War (2069 - 2070) to annex the remaining Free States that opposed Myers' program. After capturing most of the Free States, the NUSA moved to take over Night City, but failed due to Arasaka's intervention.

Not wanting the war to escalate into a global conflict, Myers had little choice but to sign the Treaty of Unification with the Free States to bring the war to an early conclusion, not succeeding in fully annexing the Free States under the NUSA's banner, but forcing them to get more involved with the Union — with the exception of Night City and the Republic of Texas.

2077
By 2077, Rosalind Myers was serving her third term as President. Opinion of Myers in Night City was divided. Many people viewed her as a corrupt, corporate-backed fascist with imperialist delusions, while others pointed to Night City's crime rate being double than that of anywhere in the NUSA and argued in favor of accepting Myers' control. During this time, President Myers ordered the bombing of Texan airbases in Wellington and El Paso in retaliation for suicide bombings at NUSA bases in New Mexico and Oklahoma, raising the odds of a border war with the Republic of Texas. Myers also issued a public statement — the contents of which were not specified — about the flow of refugees into the NUSA from the flooding Netherlands in Europe.

After the death of Saburo Arasaka, Myers stated that all accusations Arasaka had claimed against Militech and the NUSA of being the ones that orchestrated his death were all unfounded and irresponsible. She warned that in the past, they had reminded the former CEO that he was not omnipotent, and that if necessary, she would not hesitate to teach his successor, Yorinobu Arasaka, the same lesson. She went on to say that despite having respected the Arvin Accord so far, both the NUSA and Militech would respond in full force if provoked.

At the 2077 Federalist Party convention, Myers announced that she would seek a fourth term in office. Her campaign slogan was unveiled to be "A Return to Unity", emphasizing her commitment to unification across all fronts.


 * Shortly after the incident in Night City's Arasaka Tower, President Myers denounced Saburo Arasaka's "resurrection" and stated his seizure of power was against international law. Despite these declarations and months of escalated tensions between Arasaka and Militech, several weeks after the incident both Myers and Saburo agreed to meet in person to lay the foundations for a lasting peace between all parties.
