|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>Yurikara came to power by winning the [[Akashian Civil War]]. A key figure of modern Akashian history, she served as [[President of Akashi|President]] and [[Prime Minister of Akashi|Prime Minister]] simultaneously for 30 years. Her [[Yurikarism|distinctive political course]] was based on {{wpl|civic nationalism}}, {{wpl|developmental state|state-led development}}, and national "grandeur". Her {{A-NU/meta/shortname}} won 7 elections in a row, and she relied on the centrist bloc of the {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}} and {{A-AP/meta/shortname}}, occasionally seeking support from the leftist {{A-SP/meta/shortname}}.

She presided over a lengthy economic boom, widespread prosperity, the development of [[Akashi#Culture|Akashian popular culture]], and various {{wpl|social liberalism|socially liberal}} reform projects. The length of her tenure ultimately bred frustration that erupted in [[Summer of Freedom|mass protests and strikes]] in 1968. She formed a national unity government to resolve the crisis, taking a restrained approach and [[Akashian constitutional referendum, 1969|introducing]] political reforms to [[List of political parties in Akashi#1940–1970|"open up the system"]]. She stepped down as Prime Minister in 1970, but remained President for another decade.</small>

|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>Succeeding Yurikara as Prime Minister, Masaki led the NU to its last majority in [[Akashian general election, 1970|1970]]. He formed a coalition with the {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}} and {{A-SP/meta/shortname}}, underlining the NU's drift to the centre-left.

Regarded as a vacillating figure, Masaki struggled with the onset of the [[Economy of Akashi#"Siege economy"|"siege economy"]], torn between {{wpl|mainstream economics}} and the SP's push for more leftist policies. He failed to prevent splits from emerging in the NU and lost a budget vote, prompting a [[Akashian general election, 1972|snap election in April 1972]] that felled the NU as a major party.</small>

|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>The first socialist Prime Minister. Tarō formed a coalition with the {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}}, {{A-NU/meta/shortname}}, and {{A-AP/meta/shortname}}, and leaned heavily on outside support from the {{A-CP/meta/shortname}} and {{A-SCP/meta/shortname}}.

His government broke up the large companies created by Yurikara's {{wpl|national champions}} policy, introduced legislation to strengthen trade unions and {{wpl|workplace democracy}}, and pushed for greater planning and {{wpl|cooperatives|cooperativisation}} of the economy. Although beset by weak growth and high inflation, the government managed to keep unemployment low and hold the line on social expenditures and public services, allowing inequality and poverty to further decline.

In domestic politics, he continued constitutional reforms that strengthened [[Politics of Akashi#Local government|local government]] and increased the Prime Minister and [[National Assembly (Akashi)|National Assembly]]'s power at the expense of the President.

Growing discontent with his tenuous leadership and poor results in the [[List of Akashian prefectural elections#1973|1973 prefectural elections]] convinced him to resign before the upcoming general elections.</small>

|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>A popular figure in the previous government, Kasuko took office before the [[Akashian general election, 1974|1974 general election]], leading the {{A-SP/meta/shortname}} to win more seats.

Kasuko's government introduced the Anti-Hoarding Law, which capped annual incomes and used high marginal taxes on the wealthy to nationalise and "recirculate" idle capital. She worked closely with other [[Common Sphere]] governments to prevent {{wpl|capital flight}}, and to strengthen the [[Common Sphere#Policies|Common Monetary System]]. Her government abolished the {{wpl|national health insurance}} and converted [[Akashi#Health|Akashian healthcare]] to a {{wpl|single-payer healthcare|single-payer system}}.

Confronted with a {{wpl|currency crisis}} in late 1977, she introduced the [[Kasumi Kuroki#Resignation|"black budget"]] (黒予算 ''kuro yosan''): {{wpl|excise tax}}es were hiked to reduce consumption, surcharges were imposed to reduce imports, {{wpl|excess profits tax}} was levied on the largest companies, some {{wpl|rationing}} was introduced, and the [[Akashian ryō|ryō]] was readjusted within the Common Monetary System. She responsibility for the drastic response to the crisis, and resigned before the National Assembly could hold a no-confidence vote.</small>

|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>Yuna led a "reorganised" left coalition, formally including the {{A-JP/meta/shortname}} and courting support from the new {{A-GP/meta/shortname}}.

Her government made a slight retreat from the "black budget", but largely maintained the restrictions on capital and foreign exchange. She negotiated with the [[General Council of Trade Unions of Akashi|Sōhyō]] to pass tax cuts in exchange for wage restraint. When the accord was weakened by continued {{wpl|wildcat strike}}s, she implemented an {{wpl|incomes policy}} to control wages and prices. The incomes policy managed to reduce inflation somewhat, at the cost of destabilising Akashi's {{wpl|balance of payments}}.

Yuna resigned as Prime Minister after a parliamentary defeat, and was succeeded by {{A-AP/meta/shortname}} leader [[Hikaru Katayama]].</small>

|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>Yuna's agriculture minister, Hikaru reshuffled the government. The {{A-GP/meta/shortname}} joined the cabinet for the first time, while the {{A-JP/meta/shortname}} exited but continued to provide outside support.

Facing a depletion of {{wpl|foreign exchange reserves}}, the government turned to heterodox monetary policies to stimulate the economy. {{wpl|Scrip}}s were issued to provide additional liquidity without weakening the ryō. The working week was reduced to three days and working hours shortened to conserve electricity.

The government lost a budget vote in 1980, prompting Hikaru to request a snap election for June. She insisted on resigning when the new legislature was inaugurated rather than continuing as caretaker.</small>

|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>The leader of the {{A-CNP/meta/shortname}}'s "soft" (緩い ''yurui'') faction, Ran triumphed in the [[List of political parties in Akashi#1980–1990|"''kibi''-''yuru'' war"]]. She and [[Red rice group|her allies]] seized control of the CNP and worked to transform it into a {{wpl|progressive conservatism|progressive conservative}} party, purging hardliners and recruiting ''sanyoi'' candidates.

Ran won the [[Akashian general election, 1982|1982]] election promising pragmatic governance, economic renewal, and constitutional reform. She formed the first centre-right coalition since the civil war, and sought external backing from the {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}} and {{A-NU/meta/shortname}}. Her government succeeded in reviving the economy while largely preserving the egalitarian legacy of the "siege economy". Non-performing state assets were restructured and cooperativised, the ryō was stabilised, inflation reduced, and national retraining programs introduced with Sōhyō cooperation to maintain {{wpl|full employment}}.

Ran won broad popularity and respect for her consensual governance and negotiating talent, and was a central figure in the ''[[neondai]]''. Her tenure saw renewed industrial peace after the turbulence of the 1970s, administrative reforms to improve government transparency and accountability, and the [[Akashian constitutional referendum, 1984|adoption]] of the [[Politics of Akashi#Constitution|Constitution of 1984]]. She won re-election in the "blue wave" of [[Akashian general election, 1986|1986]], when the CNP finished one seat short a majority alone, and was acclaimed for her decisive response to the 1987 stock market crash.

In contrast to her success in government, Ran's faction had a more tenuous hold on the party. Akashi's rich class grew hostile to her anti-{{wpl|big business}} government, and linked with her hardliner enemies and others in the [[neoliberal conspiracy]]. While on vacation abroad, she was deposed by an internal party coup.</small>

|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>The leader of the {{A-CNP/meta/shortname}}'s "hard" (厳しい ''kibishii'') faction, Ichikon took office during the [[neoliberal conspiracy]]. He launched an internal purge to rid the CNP of the ''yurui'' faction, and tried to push through a neoliberal program of tax cuts, privatisation, deregulation, and weakening trade unions.

Ichikon's sudden rise to power caused chaos in the CNP ranks and revolted the public. Mass protests and a {{wpl|general strike}} erupted against his program, the largest since 1968. He sought support from the right-wing {{A-FL/meta/shortname}} and {{A-ARP/meta/shortname}}, and narrowly passed his program through parliamentary chicanery, only for it to be vetoed by President [[Emi Hanamura]] and decisively rejected by voters in a [[Akashian economic policy referendum, 1990|referendum]]. 

Having lost control of the party and provoked mass unrest, Ichikon lost a confidence vote and his party was devastated by the [[Akashian general election, 1990|general election]]. He was prosecuted for his role in the neoliberal conspiracy, and died in prison.</small>

|-
|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>The first communist Prime Minister. Shinobu ran an aggressive campaign condemning the [[neoliberal conspiracy]], and proclaimed, "The nineties will be communist!". Capturing the moment, the {{A-CP/meta/shortname}} unexpectedly benefited the most from the "red wave" of [[Akashian general election, 1990|1990]], winning a plurality. She formed a left coalition government, supported by the {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}}, {{A-NU/meta/shortname}}, and {{A-NFP/meta/shortname}}.

Known as "Iron Shinobu" for her tough, straight-talking demeanour, she presided over the most radical left course since the 1970s. Her government broke up remaining large companies, expanded the cooperative and public sectors, hiked taxes to destroy wealth concentration, reformed labour law to universalise {{wpl|workers' self-management}} and {{wpl|co-determination}}, and expanded planning through the [[Hermes Programme]]. Further {{wpl|decentralisation}} and {{wpl|municipalisation}} took place.

Shinobu aggressively prosecuted and punished the participants in the neoliberal conspiracy, which at times discomfited public opinion. Her forceful governance style gradually became a liability. While her left coalition won re-election in [[Akashian general election, 1994|1994]], it lost ground in the {{wpl|hung parliament}} produced in [[Akashian general election, 1998|1998]]. Shinobu attempted to remain in office and reach out to the centre, but her hold on power was now weakened. She lost a no confidence vote in December 1999 and the ensuing [[Akashian general election, 1999|snap election]].</small>

Ran served two further years as Prime Minister, preserving Shinobu's legacy while moderating her policies.

Anna's government carried out progressive social reforms, strengthened environmental protection, aided the country's small banks and {{wpl|consumer finance}} sector, and continued expansion of cooperatives and public services. It maintained the redistributive framework created by Shinobu, and adopted monetary policies to reduce inflation.

Anna's low-key style of governance left her often overshadowed by her flamboyant and boisterous finance minister, [[Liana Ferrari]]. Liana sought to use her leadership of the {{A-URP/meta/shortname}} to push the government to the left, and was a key figure in the "blue wave" of [[Akashian general election, 2006|2006]], capitalising on {{A-SP/meta/shortname}} disunity to lead the URP to a second-place finish.

|colspan="5" style="text-align:left;"|<small>The youngest Prime Minister. Kōko won the party leadership shortly before the [[Akashian general election, 2010|2010]] election, and caused a dramatic increase in {{A-SP/meta/shortname}}'s popularity, an effect nicknamed "Kōkomania". The 2010 election became a "red wave", with the SP winning the first single-party majority since 1970. She formed a single-party government, seeking support from the left and centre.

Kōko's government has pursued a program of "21st century socialism", with flagship policies including the [[Akashi#Welfare|conversion of the welfare system]] to a {{wpl|basic income}}–{{wpl|negative income tax}} model, growing the cooperative sector, shifting the economy towards {{wpl|decentralised planning}}, and increasing the public's role in self-governance and economic planning. Several of these were enshrined in the constitution after a [[Akashian constitutional referendum, 2011|successful 2011 referendum]].

The SP lost its majority in [[Akashian general election, 2014|2014]], prompting Kōko to form a coalition with the {{A-GP/meta/shortname}}, {{A-NCP/meta/shortname}}, and {{A-NU/meta/shortname}}, while retaining outside support from the left and centre. The coalition won re-election in [[Akashian general election, 2018|2018]].</small>
