	Please correct the spelling of Cristina (without "h") Fernández (with accent mark) de Kirchner. It's strange, because all the other Spanish names are correctly spelled, even with ñ's and accents.

	fixed

	In Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei holds all of the real power in the country, so he thus should be the world leader.

	Azrael:	Mar 20th, 2012 at 20:51 GMT		8 points
	@joseph1594: I agree that Khamenei holds the real power in the country, but I'd really prefer he doesn't become the world leader...

	I was excited that I somehow knew George Tupou V off the top of my head, but then I realized that I knew of him because his death has been on the front page of Wikipedia all week. Alas. (Tupou VI is the new king, if you're inclined to update.)

	More people recognize David Cameron than Barack Obama. I find this absolutely fascinating.

	Marriott67:	Mar 23rd, 2012 at 17:27 GMT		4 points
	@mothball there's been a few changes since Jan 1st, but I sticking to that date keeps it from constantly needing to be updated. Perhaps, come 2013, I'll make a new one.

	I would change Poland and Montenegro from the PM (who holds little power) to the President, Bronisław Komorowski and Filip Vujanović, respectively. Very nice, comprehensive quiz though!

	Got Guinea-Bissau and Djibouti, missed North Korea. Sporcle is a strange animal. Also, the prospect of life under President Chinchilla just made me seriously consider moving to Costa Rica.

	Hard but fascinating!

	Akhoya:	Mar 25th, 2012 at 02:41 GMT		2 points
	And for all of those wondering, Taoiseach is pronounced tee-shock (with an Irish accent). This quiz makes you wish for greater variety in leader titles.

	moldova appointed a new president the other day. it is no longer filat

	Imperium:	Mar 25th, 2012 at 22:16 GMT		1 point
	Went through and got the ones I knew/could easily work out, then looked at the titles and got about a half dozen more (Libya, Ireland, etc.)

	gowhere:	Mar 26th, 2012 at 18:36 GMT		2 points
	I agree with the creator's decision to freeze it as of Jan 1. Otherwise the quiz will be constantly changing as leaders come and go.

	geome12:	Mar 27th, 2012 at 19:47 GMT		2 points
	should've called the leader of Bhutan Jigme Thinley; he's the prime minister and has most of the authority; King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Whangchuck is just a figurehead

	antoniobroto:	Mar 29th, 2012 at 22:02 GMT		1 point
	i can´t find my PM (Rajoy) in the stats...

	pablitomiguez:	Apr 12th, 2012 at 20:57 GMT		2 points
	1) Superb quiz. 2) Should have guessed a couple more by surname (ie Armenia) or by title (ie Brunei). 3) A bit surprised to see that, excepting Chavez, all South American leaders have been guessed right
