Probably Elvir Laković Laka (the most popular pop star)
because Grand Mufti Husein Kavazović is in politics.

Queen Elisabeth Douglas is not a politician or official as such but she has influence on a range of areas including fashion, business, politics (but not directly as a politician or official) and charity work.

Ryan reynolds. The most political endorsement he's ever given is probably when he shilled aviation gin.

Empress Isabelle III. Although she's the head of state and head of government, she technically isn't a politician, since the monarchy is hereditary and absolute, and doesn't adhere to any particular political ideology—her only agenda is to do what's best for herself and her subjects. In addition, political parties are illegal in the United Empire.

The most influential apolitical person in the Entity is Thalia Fairy. She is a pop star and drag artist known for her candy raver aesthetic and performances inspired by JPop and KPop idols and classical music. She created the Novagyal aesthetic, a mixture of Akihabara otaku, Harajuku girl and Nova Universo bureaucrat styles.

It depends on how you define apolitical.

The Empress is usually considered apolitical but wields a lot of potential power - to the effect that she could alter the entire constitution by decree if she wanted. (In practice this never happens). However the Empress rarely if ever intervenes in politics or the day-to-day affairs of the nation.

The Rangatira is also somewhat apolitical in that he is never a member of any political party and usually wields his influence either through foreign policy (over which he holds a monopoly) or by occasionally vetoing legislation that he strongly objects to (happens rarely but not unheard of). He has more of a direct influence on policy than the Empress but usually in practice he will acquiesce to whatever demands the elected legislature makes of him, making him a de facto apolitical person.

Depends how you define apolitical.
The Archbishop of Ciudad Honorable, Jesús Jorge Cortez (probably the most influential non-politician),
is in charge of all government-owned school for boys aged 12 to 15 and has the legal power to either authorise or ban any film depicting people or events mentioned in the New Testament.


Other than the Archbishop and members of the junta, the most powerful person is Don Juan Carlos, a wealthy landowner and oil baron.

Wang Chung, who as a Planeswalker has a lot of pull even though he’s not actively involved in politics (Technically he could destroy The Rhythm Nation if he wanted to. Like, obliterate the entire landmass. In seconds. So the government asks his opinion before big decisions are made.)
Yes, all musical references are intentional.

The Rhythm Nation was founded in 1369 and is still around as late as 5000 AD, so I can RP in any tech setting you want. But magic does exist and can be used, and this is non-negotiable.

Buryakov Yevdokim - Chemgotan businessman, researcher, actor, engineer and former soldier who was a veteran of the Chemgotan War of Independence, he's known throughout the nation, more notably within Chukotka for his contribution towards supporting urbanisation and industrial growth within the State as a pseudo architect. Following the support for developing Chukotka, Buryakov became a renown individual by participating in various Chemgotan medias and decided to become an actor in which he is known to star in the nation's most famous films and has a growing international following.

The most influential person in the nation, besides the president, is Mr. Guy (aka Rodolfo G. Romans), a comedian so popular that many politicians have tried to pay him to go and vote for them but has always refused. He is currently 89 years old but still continues to appear in some talk shows and at the festivals of his hometown, Goofycity

Sickslav Malenkov, a man of questionable Eastern Europe heritage, is a musician who truly sings for the common worker, where his song lyrics include extensive allegories to real world political systems, such as his hit single 'Leeches' in his 'Wildlife' album. But of course his understanding of Engadine Mcdonalds 1997 politics is, admittedly, quite surface level when compared to people who pay closer attention to the news

Valéry Jurua, or know as Valua, a great gaming-streaming-and-video maker, that owns a small company gathering thing of few great streamers and upcoming stars, having fun and delirious happens in a local they all pay for and where there is multiple studios, editors, and other directors and electronic engineers, making it a worldwide place of gaming and show. She lays in heads of fans somewhere between Gotaga and Squeezie for France, and maybe like Dream and Mr Beast in international.

She holds a great hand of subscribers and have articles medias commenting most of her little movements to a point to be a bit annoyed by it in terms of creativity and content, but the community she have around her is a total win, a great and strong community, that are not or little politized, only when it raises dons and gifts for healthcare or schools or such associations, with a annual event called V-Event, that gathers even more people and streamers than usual in a great place like a theatre, stadium or something, to indulge in even more fun and sharing, trying to deceit the stereotypes on the gaming and gamer world image of society.

There is no such thing as an influential but apolitical person in An Gaelstaite. Every person with even a grain of national influence is a member of Cumann na nGaedheal, the ruling party. Membership is required to hold any teaching positions in universities, managerial roles in major businesses, officer seats in the military. or even to appear regularly on the television.

having no idea who this could possibly be, it occurs to me i probably should.

(we do however hold elections without partisanship or political organizations as such of any kind,
(though some communities choose their councils by lot, which is among their options as well)
and make policy decisions on the basis of logic in the service of consideration, rather then ideology of any kind)

our culture isn't that big on influencing or being influenced, at least not consciously, either.
