She even wanted to privatize air.

[Syndic Australia]

The previous Prime Minister of Australia was Glen Seung of the Australic Labor Party. His term as PM lasted from 7° May 2016 - 7° May 2019 (3 years), or one full term.

Glen Seung was the first Prime Minister of Australia to be of Korean descent, and the second Prime Minister to be of Asiatic descent. After the defeat of the Australic Labor Party at the 2019 Federal Election, Cz. Seung retained leadership of the ALP in the House of Representatives for one term, before resigning it to instead run for a seat in the Senate, which he won. As such, Cz. Seung is the leader of the ALP in the Senate, and is thus a member of the State Council.

[The Imagination Animals]

We've actually had two previous Supreme Leaders who predeceased incumbent Waldemar Rochester, but the one who lead before him was Zeeter Saldivar.

Zeeter Saldivar was a Honduran-born Crossoverian military leader who was the second Supreme Leader of Crossoveria. She overthrew the previous Supreme Leader Marie BonAztire in a coup in mid 2020 and ruled until another coup deposed her and her minions eight months later. She was the leader of the ACE, a militant and secret police group who not only cracked down on opposition to the regime but turned people into animals. Saldivar wanted to be Supreme Leader because

A. she wanted power
B. She wanted to expand the influence of the ACE
C. She wanted to turn people into animals

Saldivar's rule as Supreme Leader was equally as brutal as Marie BonAztire, except she operated a military dictatorship. She redoubled BonAztire's oppressive tactics, destroying Crossoverian democracy in the progress. This is why so many people hated her; they wanted democracy. So, BonAztire's husband, Waldemar Rochester, helped organize a coup that would depose Saldivar and put an end to her cruel regime. It worked. Today, Saldivar is remembered as a tyrant in the eyes of Crossoverians.

[Christoffeland]

Jacobus B. "Oom Jaap" Leistner. He was very popular, Up until he lied about a Conspiracy called "Anglogate" and said that "all English'men'" are all ravenous evil people trying to kill the Dutch.

[Tangatarehua]

• The previous Empress (Kuia o Whenua) was Awhinatia te hunga rawakore whose reign lasted from 1969 until 2008.
  
  She is widely considered to have been one of, if not the greatest Empress of all time, with her most notable achievements including unilaterally ending the war of 1973-1979 (doing so by decree without consulting Parliament or the Rangatira) and promulgating the current constitution which included a number of democratic reforms.
  
  She also made history in 1979 as being the first Empress to ever speak on radio or appear on television and the first to ever directly address the Rehuan people (she did so announcing the nation's conditional surrender). Traditionally the Empress, who is considered to have divine ancestry, is never photographed, never makes appearances in media and rarely associates with commoners or foreigners so this was un unprecedented move. (Her successor has continued the tradition of refusing to be photographed or recorded.)

• The previous Rangatira was Te Rata Te Karere, nephew of the controversial dictator Te Rata Pakanga and father of the current Rangatira, Te Rata Te Rongomau. He also served a life term, lasting from his appointment in 1979 to his death in 1995. Te Karere is generally regarding well by historians and the public as he was the first Rangatira in the post-war era and helped adapt the role to the modern era while allowing democratic and economic reforms to continue unimpeded. His 'election' to the role was slightly surprising as it had been assumed that Pakanga's execution for war crimes would mean the end of the Te Rata dynasty, however he has kept the dynasty alive, passing it on to his son. (The Rangatira officially is an elected position, but in practice it's a hereditary one.)

• The previous Prime Minister (Mangai o Tangata) was Ngaire Rangi of the Liberal Party whose nine months in office are barely a footnote in history. She came to power when the Liberal Party was floundering in the polls and wracked with huge internal party divisions, following the resignation of the previous Prime Minister. She went on to be defeated emphatically by the Labour Party in the 2015 election.

[Neo-Western East Korea]

Very technically, it would have been the Emergency Military Council, which was established after the military coup that took out North Korea. This council was folded into Karamzio’s forces after a lengthy series of discussions, with most of the people from the council either being dead or still being around (such as Alextrumvov being from that era).

[The King Isle]

Our previous leader was David Laponsin who resigned recently

[Deacarsia]

The previous leader of Deacarsia was King Francis I. He was the father of King Francis II, the current high-king of Deacarsia.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

The adoptive mother of Alexandria- Lavinia. Just like her daughter she served her time in the military, being a WO2 in the army before retiring. She left the office due to overworking and since then has been working as an officer there, sometimes requesting from her daughter to be allowed to kill herself. Essentially she is now a very depressed women, with the only one way out of her blocked due to her still being able to perform some duties.

[Konolas]

Our previous official leader was Rodya Voronin who managed to escape from the nation before the disaster tragically passed on the 4th of July due to the atomic explosion. He was the man who would have fixed the nation a tyrant just bidding his time, thankfully our neighbor invaded and is occuping liberated us before he could enact his horrid plan.

[Unified Communist Councils]

The previous leader of the P.U.C.C.R prior to collectivized leadership was the last Divine Emperor of the Holy Koriyan Empire. His name was Park Jindeok, he and his family vacated the Koriyan state as the Revolutionaries were making gains towards the capital of Pyeonseoul during the Koriyan Civil War. They are presumed dead after the Third Armageddon War transpired a year after the conclusion of the Koriyan Civil War, and are remembered as bourgeoise sycophants.

[Pulsroth]

The previous Supreme Minister of Pulsroth was Yoshimura Miller, who served from 2031 to 2035 as the country's first post independence head of government to come from the native Mahêalani ethnic group.

During much of his prior political career, he was a successful businessman, and prioritized a free trade friendly environment as Supreme Minister. However, his controversial close ties with the far-right Lugá Pulsrotha party earned him a small but aggressive group of enemies, who are rumoured to have been involved in his mysterious death in February 2035.

[The Confederate States of America]

President Andrew Phillips, who was disposed of in a coup. Now he is languishing in a secret location.

[Far Allan Biles]

The previous king was Elmer Biles. He ruled the nation for 50 years before Allan took over and renamed the nation after himself.

[Wip3d Out]

British born Luna Kittrell was our community's previous Grand Commissioner, serving from 2229 until 2237 as part of her AG racing team, Sarridge Science and Research.

Before she became Grand Commissioner, she was a hugely successful AG racer in the notoriously punishing 10K league, racing initially for British team AimiTech from the age of 19, and later for Sarridge Science and Research.

[Cosnicu]

The former speakers of internal affairs were Speakers Mercy and Volare. Speaker mercy was an immigrant from New Apalacia who fled after being almost killed by her family. Her main focus was on eliminating the last traces of Speaker Vincent's time as speaker and trying to reorganize the economy to improve prosperity. As for who she was, she was born female and diagnosed with turners syndrome, but identifies as non binary. Speaker Stargate inherited her economy and has done his best to maintain it, but given his focus is directed more at political freedom, he spends more time encouraging democracy than economic practices. The two are great friends, and began to communicate after speaker Mercy's abdication, meeting during the inaugration cerimony and transfer of powers.

Speaker Volare was a Cosnicu born individual who was born during Speaker Vincent's final years of rule. She was impressed into the role at age 22 (as speaker Vincent had not left many individuals behind who satisfied the qualifications for speaker). Her ideas of personal freedom meant that she tended to lean more towards libertarianism, and went out of her way to establish positive relationships with Cosnicu's allies of Delia Viala and Crevasia. She was also responsible for encouraging immigration. She died at her post from cancer. Her successor, speaker highlands, also serves a long term. Despite the fact Speaker Volare never knew them, highlands tries to live up to Volare's ideas and hopes. Instead they choose however, to protect against enemies as well as encourage allies, using requirements Volare set aside in her unsigned letter of abdication. Despite the different technique, speaker highlands has been successful, and their actions lead to new embassies being opened in Appalachia and koldern (much to the ire of the Appalachian wealthy, the embassies for both nations were built and maintained in the poor quarters)

[Canuckistani Provinces]

Jakob Irwin. He began as a prominent social democratic political figure. However, over time he moved radically to the left. He was also passionate about the issues affecting North and South Korean relations. He gained the rare opportunity to serve as a diplomat in North Korea. While there he picked up the Korean language and began serious study of the Juche ideology and all its various components. He decided that it was an effective way to run a socialist society while also protecting it from external sabotage. Upon his return home he worked up support for a revolution, fully aided by North Korea of course.

[Coconut Palm Island]

Our previous and first Monarch was King Paul. (As a young nation, we are currently only on our second Monarch). King Paul lead from the nation's inception in 1972 until 2001. A staunch liberal and social libertarian, he lead the nation with strength, fortitude, compassion, and a respect for the rights of citizens. He was instrumental in writing our nation's Royal Charter (our constitution), and was instrumental in many of Coconut Palm Island's most basic programs. King Paul never faced any serious threat of recall, and had an approval rating of approximately 60% prior to his death.

In 2001, King Paul died by suicide, leaving the nation shocked and bereaved. Although the Senate appoints Monarchs, and the Monarch does not have to be hereditary, King Paul's son, King Alexander, was appointed King by the Senate nearly immediately after his father's death. There was little controversy over this appointment-- although the Senate could've technically selected anyone, King Alexander was the obvious successor. He was an only child whose mother had passed away while he was young, he had spent his life studying political science, psychology, and leadership, and was ideologically similar to his father while still thinking for himself.

King Paul will be remembered as one of, if not the, greatest Monarch in our nation's history. He, alongside Senate President Nicholas Curry, were mainly responsible for forming Coconut Palm Island and leaving its institutions so strong.

[Diirorarti]

The previous leader of Diirorarti was a red fox named Irik Omnumbu. He was a communist who made a lot of much needed infrastructure and public transport for the people of our nation.

[Karolengia]

The previous Emperor was Theudere VI, and the previous Prime Minister was Clovis Thildes (2003-2015) of the centre-right CDMP.

[Aerlanica]

This question is a bit tricky to answer in the traditional sense; the Civil War muddies the waters, due to the fact that the Aerlanican Commonwealth was dissolved, sparking the civil war, which lead to two parties claiming the right to rule over all of Aerlanica.

So there's technically two answers, both with supporting and opposing arguments.

One may say that the former Prime Minister of the Aerlanican Commonwealth and eventually the short lived Third Aerlanican Empire, Arnold Harrison, was the previous head of state. Arguments for include; Arnold Harrison was the elected Prime Minister, despite the elections obviously being rigged slightly in his favour in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 elections. Furthermore when the Aerlanican Commonwealth was re-organised into the Third Empire, and the ADPF rose up, Arnold Harrison was declared "emperor".

On the other hand, an overwhelming majority see a statesman, and Prime Minister of the ADPF and, briefly, the Federation of Aerlanica, William Kasel, as the Predecessor to Prime Minister Jonathan Blinds. Due to the near-messanistic reputation of this William Kasel, affectionately dubbed "The Father of Democracy", people view him as the forefather to the Aerlanican Federation, however arguments against state that the ADPF was a separate political entity from the Third Empire, and was therefore a different nation entirely. However, this belief has little weight, and instead there is overwhelming praise of William Kasel, despite efforts to try and suppress this cult of personality under the justification of "anti-democratic purging".

[Ostrali]

Adolf Wehner was the President of the previous from 1989-2018 the Republic Of Ostral which was the first republic to not immediately fall into disarray was then overthrown by the now ruling Libertarian Party led by Thomas Rivera

[The Aquaria]

The previous leader of the Socialist Federal Republic of the Aquaria is Naruto Uzumaki, who was born on 10 October 1954 (Now aged 67), and served as the President of the Aquaria and the General Secretary of the Communist Party between June 2000 and March 2022.

Being the vice president between 1996 and 2000, Uzumaki took office on 1 June 2000 as the president after the death of President Kakashi Hatake, who had long-ruled the Aquaria for 57 years since the republic's establishment. He was the second president ever to rule.

Under President Uzumaki's 22-year term, the rapid economic growth is continued and kept at a level of 15-22% annual, while maintaining and protecting the working of socialism. Uzumaki highly encouraged the development of advanced technologies and was also one of the most important people in the development plans to be executed. For example, In 2014, the Tokisaki Revolutionary Tower, after the proposal by Uzumaki in 2003, completed its construction and opened as the new tallest building of the Aquaria with a height of 601 meters. He also continued Hatake's progress to take care of the ethnic problem caused after the civil war, solving the radical ideologic problem peacefully. He is considered the 'Shadow of Hatake', who continued his doctrine and is important for making the Aquaria an effective and major power in the world.

However, he is sometimes criticised for further increasing the brutality of the Aqua Civil Law and the penalties. For example, in 2004, he restored the execution method 'Lingering Death', which is a kind of execution that which a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period. The penalty for stealing is also increased to death. Those caused a large controversy among the citizens and world-widely, which caused the Aquaria sometimes referred to as 'A Democratic Socialist Nation with a Totalitarian-level Law'.

Due to his failing health, he gave up participating in the General Secretary Election in the Communist Party in 2019. In March 2022, he resigned the position of the president of the state and passed it to Yuno Grinberryall, the current president of the Aquaria. Overall, Uzumaki is respected and regarded as a great leader of the Aquaria.

After the success of dealing with Lung Cancer, He seems to have joy playing with his grandson and granddaughters.

[Zanforadon]

The previous leader of Zanforadon was Heavenly Grandmaster-class Deity and Divine Queen Zan Sennuxa, mother of the current Heavenly Grandmaster-class Deity and Divine King, Zan Xeranosis. Divine Queen Sennuxa was born in the year of 1895 and started her rule at the age of 21, when her predecessor, Divine Queen Zan Venia(born in the year of 1838), stepped down as she was starting to have health issues. Divine Queen Sennuxa ruled with a just and fair hand, letting many of the world cultures to immigrate to the country when the world was in turmoil due to the First Great War. One of the many laws she has passed was E.D.A., also known as the Equal Draconic Act, which allowed all citizens to be paid equally, regardless of class or species. The E.D.A. made it where the starting minimum wage across the entire country at 15 draconics per hour, and for those who could not obtain a job for various reasons, would get a monthly stipend that is the equivalent of 200 work hours. Unfortunately, the Divine Queen, as well as her husband and three of their children passed away due to a disgruntled group who were angry at government, leaving behind Zan Xeranosis, who was and continues to be deeply distraught over the event.
