Famous female rulers of your nation

[Medwedgrad]

Amongst 52 rulers of the Fiefdom of Medwedgrad, 4 were women: Mary I (1382 - 1387), Catherine (1456 - 1461), Beatrice (1504 - 1509) and Mary II (1524 - 1527). However, the most famous de facto female ruler of Medwedgrad was Barbara of Celje, better known as "Black Queen". While the Fiefdom officially belonged to her husband, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary and Croatia, Sigismund of Luxembourg, the fact is that he probably never put his foot in Medwedgrad. On the other hand, Barbara spent quite a lot of time living in Medwedgrad castle and she was the one ruling the Fiefdom. She was always dressed in black, with a trained raven accompanying her. She was intelligent and cruel, promiscuous and mysterious. Many of her lovers ended up being thrown from the highest tower in the castle when she was bored with them. She was interested in magic, occultism and alchemy. During the great drought, when all springs but one were dry, she forbid the peasants to take water from that spring (spring of the stream Medveščak not far away from the castle). For that reason, up until now the spring is called "Queen's Spring" (Kraljičin zdenac in Croatian).

[Bunkaiia]

The Cašamata /ʧaʃamata/ and Andrialiakama are tow notable female figures from Bunkaiian/Bàñkaïan as well as Doyan/Doïan lore.

-Andrialiakama is told to be a powerful Austronesian chieftess and witch who could transform at will into a Giant Bird. With her shape-shifting ability, combat ability, and forms of deceit and trickery, she was able to unify all of the Doïan tribes into one people. However, when her son fell in love with a dugong instead of a human female, Andrialiakama had her son imprisoned. The son though was very charismatic and escaped imprisonment with the help of a Seahorse and a Caecilian, the latter of whom chose to betray Andrialiakama. Andrialiakama and her son then waged a bloody war at each other between the primarily sea creature faction and the human faction (some narratives have the birds siding with the humans). The son was eventually mortally wounded by his own mother by a fish hook, who then in turn in her depression, committed suicide by eating the traitorous poisonous caecilian. From henceforth all the sea creatures that took part in the Battle with the Sea (which included members of all of the marine mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish would be exempt from being hunted or fished) - as a precaution to not reinstigate the war.

-The Cašamata, on the other hand, is a somewhat later but equally mysterious figure. Her name is not recorded anywhere, but some say that she was the daughter of the once-in-line-to-thrown Prince Kawus, who was betrayed and killed by his brother Khosrow I. Khosrow hunted down all of his male relatives but left many of the women and girls unharmed - seeing them as less of a threat. However, once it was realized that Khosrow began killing newborn boys from some of the more rebellious women including even distant relatives, The Cašamata knew then that she had to do something. Refusing to ride a horse - so as not to cause unnecessary harm to it - The Cašamata walked from the Caspian coast to Meishan with hundreds of her followers behind her. There they boarded a ship first to Yemen and then to Bunkaiia. The Cašamata had to convince the apprehensive Doyan chieftains to allow them to settle on Bunkaiia. The Doyan chieftains were soon convinced by The Cašamata through her diplomacy, intellect, beauty, and her kindness to all beings, even including plants. Once the Doyans knew that her people would always stand up against injustice they agreed to share the island.

Today, the Doyans are a small rather primitive ethnic and religious minority mostly inhabiting the reef-protected Eastern Atolls, aptly named the Doyan Atolls. All newcomers (including ambassadors as well as tourists) must adhere to the Oath that no harm will unnecessarily come to an animal. (Non-cephalopod invertebrates are however noticeably exempt from this treaty for unknown reasons and crustaceans, insects, bivalves, and echinoderms are regularly consumed at festivities.)

[Estainia]

The Empire has never had a male ruler so... all of them. The most famous empress at present is Aglaia the Great, who modernized the Empire from an agrarian feudal society into an industrial feudal society, confused yet? It's alright.

[Anatoliyanskiy]

Anatoliyanskiy has had one female Chairman. She was a member of the Social Democratic Party, and was Chairman from 2008-2012. She is currently a member of the House of Commons for Anatolville East Constituency.

[Lanorth]

We haven't had a female ruler, so no-one.

[Nanako Island]

Deijī Hime, legendary founder
of Nanako (c. late 14th century)

"Princess Deiji" (Deiji Hime)
Semi-legendary founder of the First Kingdom of Nanako

In 656, the Legend of the Three Peaks Chronicles (Miyama Den (三峰伝)) records the legendary creation of the Kingdom of Nanako, first idea of an unified Nanako, around 600BC, through Nanakian Shinto mythology and first legendary ruler of Nanako, Princess Deijī (弟衣事姫, Deijī Hime). During the 600s to 800s, many conflicts between the local kingdoms and the Japanese emperor ended the Ōjidai period and marked the beginning of the Heian period in Nanako, characterized by the establishment of a regent caste of Japanese people.

From: History of Nanako Islands - Summary

Scholars think the major chiasm between Nanakian and Japanese shinto happened during the Epi-Jōmon period, from differing influences, thus leading to the foundation of the Nanakian civilization origins myths. The origin myths of Nanakian civilization extend back to Para-Yayoi, though they show little or no relation to the current archaeological understanding of Epi-Jōmon culture. 600BC is the traditional founding date of the Nanakian nation by Princess Deijī. This version of Nanakian history, however, comes from the country's first written record, the Miyama-Den, dating from the 6th century. In addition, this legendary genesis will be stifled in favor of the Japanese imperial reign. Despite everything, recent studies in the Narakonai region, and the study of ancient Chinese texts, which reffers "tributes from Northern Wo people", even if described as rare, suggest that during the end of Para-Yayoi, a state was established in the region. But written descriptions of kingdoms on the island won't arrive until later in the Records of the Three Kingdoms. These discoveries are supported by the story described in the Miyama-Den. Deijī Hime is actually a semi-legendary character corresponding to the first queen of the Kingdom of Narakonai (500AD-570AD), but made legendary in Miyama-Den.

From: History of Nanako Islands - Para-Yayoi/Epi-Jomon period

Throughout this period [, The Kubokō-jidai,] stratification of the society in different castes accelerated due to the increasing food production and bronze and iron productions. Initiated during the late Para-Yayoi period, this phenomenon starts to uniformly effect the island and organized territories and fiefdoms start to emerge, setting the foundations of the upcoming Ōjidai period. The known organized state to have emerged is the City of Narakonai that became the Kingdom of Nanako around 500 under the rule of semi-legendary princess Deijī.

[Sanghyeok]

大宮 咲来 Oomiya Sakura
Gained full control in 2016, with the three titles of "Secretary of the United Front", "Chairwoman of the Federation" and "Supreme Leader of Armed Forces"
She is likely to rule for at least a few hundred years, since she doesn't age and is probably immortal.

[Pulsroth]

Pulsroth's predecessor state, Lani'aka had several female chieftains. The first was Maira Warihana, who ruled from 1294 until her death in 1329 and was responsible for leading the first humans to Lani'aka.

The most important female leader of modern day Pulsroth would be Meri McMillan, the Supreme Minister from 2013 to 2031. She revitalised the country after both massive civil unrest and the Great Recession through the adoption of several entrepreneurial policies known today as the McMillan Path, and is seen as a heroine by many Pulsrothites as a result.

[Zeganas]

Sakuma Reynolds is Zeganas's first female leader and is the most well-known leader. She was a part of the Social Democratic party. She led the Reynolds Revolution which was a major socialization and destratification of Zeganas's economy back in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. Zeganas's second female leader is the current one, Kazova Nashawa, who was elected earlier this year and is a part of the Democratic Socialist party. Her goal is further socialization of the economy and to make workplace democracy mandatory for all corporations and big businesses.

[The Astrocracy]

The current Empress is the first woman to rule in her own name, but she hopes to make an impact on the Astrocracy.

[Aldina]

The Empire has been ruled by numerous Empresses over the centuries, including our own current monarch, Empress Sophia IV. The Empire has practiced cognatic premogeniture since time immemorial; however, this applies only to hereditary positions and not, for example, the Chancellor of the Senate or any of the various Chief Ministers.

[New Kamakuri]

The first that comes to mind amongst most in New Kamakuri is Queen Annette XV, the last ruling monarch of the country. She also was one of the primary spearheads of the dissolution of the monarchical government, which had been active for six decades until then.

The capital was moved to the mid-sized city of Kasumi, where Annette XV was born. It was renamed Kasumi col Annette ("col" being a regional form of fifteen) in honor of the last queen of New Kamakuri.

[The Strangers Club]

Three comes to my mind: Penny, Queen Aileen, and Voluntary-Chan (that's me). They paved the way for the Anarcho-Capitalist government we have now. Penny took over after her father, President Mack Johnson died of lung cancer. She abolished the presidential system and installed what I can describe best as a libertarian fascist anarchy. Which means that you were free to do whatever you planned as long as you didn't criticize the government or try to destroy it. Then the Strange Anarcho-Monarchist Party gained considerable influence in the south and announced their independence. Lead by Queen Aileen, she formed an Anarcho-Monarchist style of governing which is almost completely the same as Penny's government but instead of a "Supreme Leader" it is lead by a monarch. Penny didn't really care much for this. She held peace talks between the two countries. Eventually, Aileen's government collapsed due to heavy corruption and instability. This is where I come in play. I lead a coup against the monarchist government and established a complete anarchy. Penny's government soon collapsed shorty after due to people wanting more freedom and tired of the government watching their every move. Thus the Strange Republic was united again under ancap rule. Aileen fled to the Independent State of Texas and Penny was executed for her war crimes against the Strange people.

[United Neo-Hollerith]

Our current leader, Meredith Leigh is our first ever female head of government (at least post independence).

In her first 2 years as Chief Executive, she has established trade partnerships with several global superpowers and increased English language fluency among the general population by 1.5%.

[Carnife]

First Executive Prasha Raj was the first and only First Executive in Carnife's history. She founded the largest corporation in all of Carnife, and used her power and natural charisma to ascend into the position of HOG and HOS of Carnife (First Executive).

She also spearheaded the War on Poverty, decimating unemployment and homelessness rates by 78.9% and 62.8% respectively.
