  5. ↑ Hun Sen was titled Second Prime Minister in 1993–98.
  6. ↑ The Palestinian Authority renamed itself as State of Palestine in 2013—a move unrecognised by Israel.

  7. ↑ Kazakhstan only became independent in 1991.
  8. ↑ Kim was referred to as supreme leader in 2011, and then appointed as First Chairman of the National Defence Commission in 2012—having been de facto leader of North Korea throughout.
  9. ↑ Uzbekistan only became independent in 1991.
  10. ↑ Montenegro only became independent in 2006.
  11. ↑ The seven-member Swiss Federal Council is head of state and government collectively. Within this executive council, the president serves solely in a primus inter pares capacity for one year.
