Sir Samuel Gideon Armitage KC (born 7 June 1938) is an Acronian politician who served as Prime Minister of the Union of Acronian Kingdoms from 1980 to 1988 and Leader of the Alliance Party from 1978 to 1988. Armitage briefly served in the Berthiolez government from 1979 to 1980, and was Member of Parliament (MP) for Annacis–Teague Bay from 1979 to 1994. Since Paul Milais' death in 1996, he has been both the oldest and earliest-serving of the living former Acronian prime ministers.
Important events during his tenure as Prime Minister included the onset of the Soft War, the Yetpan Winter, the 1982 Astonbury attacks, the Pharamondia crisis, the emerging issue of Highlands isolation, as well as the Takacs Shift and the subsequent improvement of relations with Granzery. Scholars rank him highly among all Acronian prime minister, and he is fondly remembered as an apt and intelligent leader whose statesmanship guided the nation into a new age of prosperity and optimism following the troubled decades of the Parabellum.
