Born: 02 Jan 2003 (01/02)\\
Died: 19 Mar 2006 (21/54)

Melvin Stjärnblom was Popomundo's first dictator, succeeded in this position by [[people:Conrad Gardener]]. He ruled Popomundo until the [[events:London Riots]] year 21 culminated in the lynching of Melvin by an angry mob (local time 19:42) that stormed the City Hall. To that point, Melvin was the mayor of all cities in Popomundo.

Melvin didn't have to be killed, but according to [[people:Frank Blomdahl]] he made several mistakes: //Melvin was a big fool who stayed in the city instead of doing what most real-world dictators do in situations as these - flee the country or resign. He could also have done other minor things to avoid getting caught by the mob. He didn't. Arrogant and over-confident to the very end.//

Melvin has himself named day 30 to the [[:special_days:melvin_festival_day|Melvin Festival Day]]. Each anniversary of Melvin's death the world of Popomundo celebrates [[:special_days:Liberation Day]].

Even though Melvin was a dictator he had some good in him too. One of his most celebrated acts was the introduction of [[:popomundo festivals|festivals]].

Melvin's legacy is now in the hands of his niece [[people:Jeanne Stjärnblom]].
