Notes

1. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h i j k l m n} In Commonwealth realms other than the UK, the Governor-General represents Queen Elizabeth II who is the official head of state.
2. ^ The Secretary-General of the General People's Congress is the nominal head of state of Libya. However, Muammar al-Gaddafi, the "Revolutionary Leader", wields de-facto head of state power.
3. ^ Kim Jong-il, as Chairman of the National Defense Commission is considered North Korea's "highest administrative authority". However, Kim Yong-nam, as President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly does many of the duties of a Head of State. Deceased former North Korean ruler Kim Il-sung is listed as the Eternal President of the Republic.
