The First L’Manberg Presidential Election was a presidential election in L'Manberg held on September 22, 2020. The election originally only had two parties competing: POG2020 and SWAG2020, but would eventually grow to include Coconut2020 and Schlatt2020. Schlatt2020 would eventually win in a coalition agreement with SWAG2020.

After L'Manberg won its independence from the Dream SMP, Wilbur Soot initially established the country's government as an autocratic regime with himself as the nation's President and Tommy as Vice President. Over time, however, it became clear that the citizens of L'Manberg weren't taking Wilbur's orders as president seriously. Wilbur sought to fix this issue by legitimizing his claim to power in an election, but an opposition party formed by Quackity, a L'Manberg outsider, challenged Wilbur. Wilbur’s own son, Fundy, decided to create Coconut2020 with Niki to run against him. Wilbur then introduced their party's endorsement, Jschlatt.

After the “endorsement”, Schlatt started by denouncing the democratic process and insulting the two main candidates, followed by endorsing Coconut2020 and eventually declaring his own candidacy. Dream immediately endorsed him and helped him chase down and try to kill Wilbur, Quackity, and Tommy.

Wilbur proposed a compromise with Quackity, asking him if he wanted to combine their parties into one. Quackity turned him down and decided to combine his campaign with Schlatt's to create one party.

The election results were announced on September 22, 2020 at the L'Manberg podium by Wilbur. In total, around 250,000 legitimate votes were cast. At first, it had appeared that POG2020 would be the winners of the election, winning with 45% of the popular vote. However, because Quackity and Schlatt had agreed to combine their campaigns as a coalition, their individual totals of 30 and 16 percent, respectively, combined into a grand total of 46%, beating POG2020 by 1%, handing Schlatt the victory.

The first decree Schlatt made as president of L'Manberg was to revoke the citizenship of both Wilbur and Tommy. Tubbo was granted the position of Secretary of State, much to his own confusion. Schlatt also demanded that Tubbo hunt Tommy and Wilbur but Tubbo decided to be a spy for Wilbur and Tommy. In banishment, Wilbur and Tommy created Pogtopia with the help of anarchist, Technoblade, to win back L’Manberg.

This was the start of the Manberg Rebellion Arc, all written by Wilbur Soot. Unlike the first arc written by him, this one had more of a structure and Wilbur had more of an idea of how he wanted this to go. He came up with and wrote original multiple loose scripts with multiple different endings and established some ground rules like each character receiving three canon lives. This time, he didn’t take much inspiration from Hamilton but Hamilton lyrics were still referenced throughout the arc. During this time, it also established the Dream SMP as a roleplaying server, becoming widely known for it.
