Head of Government is usually preferred as the world leader, I've tried to recognize the person with the most power and avoid any leaders that are in largely ceremonial positions.

	Note to players: I tried to represent the leaders of countries who are not merely ceremonial or figurehead positions. In many countries it was difficult to determine whether to list the Prime Minister or the President. If you feel that the leader listed should be otherwise, please let me know, but I generally preferred the Prime Minister as head of government unless the President had the power to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister.

	Also, one of my greatest challenges was with the UAE - I chose to list two leaders for San Marino because they are equal titles. But with UAE the government is set up in such a way as to make the distinction between President and Prime Minister harder to distinguish as to which is the leader. Comments appreciated!

	Shouldn't it be the king rather than the prime minister of Bahrain?

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:44 GMT	1 point
	And Pakistan should definitely be the president.

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:44 GMT	1 point
	I think also that, at this point, Finland should probably be the prime minister - the Finnish president used to be the more important one, but her role was reduced a few years ago. But that's more of a tough call.

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:46 GMT	2 points
	And Kim Jong Il should clearly be the guy listed for North Korea, whatever his title is.

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:50 GMT	1 point
	Poland is a parliamentary republic - it should definitely have the prime minister listed.

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:52 GMT	1 point
	Liechtenstein & Monaco should both list the ruling prince, not the prime minister, who is basically an administrative appointee of the prince - they aren't democracies at all.

	johnlk:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 16:57 GMT	2 points
	Georgia ought to be the president

	alaric1224:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 17:30 GMT	1 point
	Thanks for your help, when I first started the quiz I was going for heads of government then changed my mind to be what it is now, and I neglected to change some of the titular heads of government who aren't the primary leaders. I had Kim Jong Il entered wrong, so thanks for alerting me to that - he was listed with a comma rather than a slash between choices for his name and so it wasn't entering properly. Appreciate the help - let me know if you see anything else!

	The following officials should be included instead of the ones listed in the quiz: Supreme Leader of Iran, Prime Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prime Minister of Bulgaria, President of Cape Verde, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, President of Guinea-Bissau, President of Kyrgyzstan, President of Laos, Prime Minister of Latvia, President of Mali, Prime Minister of Mauritius, Prime Minister of Montenegro, and Communist Party leader of Vietnam. Also, the Prime Minister of Dominica is misspelled and the new Sammarinese captains-regent took office yesterday.

	JeroAdmi:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 19:02 GMT	1 point
	@Sesel, you must be very interested in politics if you know the current captain-regent of San Marino.

	Sesel:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 19:13 GMT	1 point
	@JeroAdmi: The schedule is very predictable. Each pair of captains-regent serve six-month terms beginning April 1 and October 1 every year.

	alaric1224:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 19:48 GMT	1 point
	Thanks for your advice Sesel. I've made most of the changes you suggested, some of them obvious mistakes. With Iran, I struggled between the Supreme Leader and President as the President seems to deal with more of the international issues, even though the Supreme Leader is the absolute authority there. To a lesser extent an argument could be made for a similar situation with the President and Prime Minister in Russia. It won't take much for me to decide to change that, but for now I'm keeping it the same. As for Bosnia and Herzogovina, I'm going off the CIA listings and the Prime Minister is listed very low on their hierarchy. I must admit that I'm not familiar with their system of governance and unsure whether to change that. Can you explain to me why the Prime Minister over the current chairman of the tripartide presidency? Finally, Vietnam. My listed source for this quiz is the CIA's listing of world leaders, and although the Communist Party controls Vietnam, the General Secretary is not listed by the CIA. Perhaps I should make that an exception to my sourcing? Your reasoning would be appreciated. Thanks, this is helping me to learn more about world governance!
