Shirley Temple: The US Ambassador in Checkers Levakia

When communism fell in checkers Levakia, the US ambassador in the country was Shirley Temple. She had close relationships with leading Republicans at the time because it was under Gerald Ford that she was the ambassador to Ghana. In a lot of her early films, she preaches fiscal responsibility and involves a low tax small state. So it's kind of unsurprising that her political ambitions outside of being an ambassador were not realized.
