The Secretary-General of the Community of Nations is the head of the Secretariat of the Community of Nations, and as such is ultimately responsible for directing the manner in which the organization carries out its mandates. Until the 1960s, Secretaries-General were mostly from Euclea, but since then there has been a growing tendency for them to rotate between regional groups. The current Secretary-General, Ekaterine Beruchashvili, is the first woman to hold the position.

List of Secretaries-General

		Description
3		Philippe Monteil (1886-1968)	1 January 1950 – 31 December 1954	Satucin	Asteria South	Nuxica vetoed his second term.
		The first non-Euclean secretary general, Monteil was viewed favourably from his short-term as Satucin's premier during its de-functionalisation period. Monteil's term was marred by accusations of possible involvement in war crimes in occupied Aucuria. His bid for re-election was vetoed by Nuxica, which cited his ongoing controversy, and criticised his inaction towards the Siamat War.
4		Seán Fitzgerald (1905–1961)	1 January 1955 – 22 November 1961	Caldia	Euclea East	Died in a plane crash in Etruria while on a peacekeeping mission.
		Fitzgerald is the only CN Secretary-General to die in office; he was killed in an airplane crash en route to cease-fire negotiations during the Western Emergency. Fitzgerald has been referred to as one of the most influential and controversial Secretary-Generals, taking a more activist role than his predecessors and promoting the CN as a more assertive organisation.
-		Oriol Giménez Huguet (1901-1985)	22 November 1961 – 31 December 1961	Florena	Euclea East	Served as interim Secretary-General following Fitzgerald's death.
5		Hailu Kayin (1904-1998)	1 January 1962 – 31 December 1971	Yemet	Rahelia-Bahia	Retired after two full terms.
		The first Coian secretary-general, Haliu was awarded the 1964 *insert Nobel Peace Prize equiv* for his work in resolving the conflict in his native Yemet. He was re-elected unanimously in 1966.
6		Saya Ko Linn (1929-)	1 January 1972 – 31 December 1976	Kuthina	Coius South	Retired after one full term.
		It was decided that a second Coian secretary-general would be preferable to balance out earlier Euclean domination of the office. Saya Ko Linn's nomination was met with considerable opposition from Xiaodong (He was an active proponent of an independent Chanwan State), though his election was successful.
7		Frédérique Lambert (1912-1994)	1 January 1977 – 22 September 1983	Cassier	Asteria North	Resigned due to a corruption scandal.
-		Lee Song-Hee (1902-1990)	22 September 1983 – 31 December 1983	Baekjeong	Coius West	Served as interim Secretary-General following Lambert's resignation.
8		Theodosii Istina (1932-)	1 January 1984 – 31 December 1988	Tengaria	Euclea West	Retired after one full term.
		The grandson of Tengarian philosopher Ivan Istina and a scholar until his appointment as ambassador by Simeon Kovachev, Istina was the first Secretary-General from West Euclea. During his tenure, he created and promoted several programs sponsoring global education, the protection of culture and world religions, and the development of philosophy.
9		Miloš Vidović (1935-2007)	1 January 1989 – 31 December 1993	Etruria	Euclea East	Retired after one full term.
10		Vytautas Šeduikys (1934-)	1 January 1994 – 31 December 2003	Aucuria	Asteria South	Retired after two full terms.
		A professor of international relations and the second South Asterian secretary-general, Šeduikys had previously served as Aucuria's foreign minister under Feliksas Ikeda and was regarded by some as "atonement" for the secretary-generalship of Philippe Monteil. He continued Vidović's emphasis on human rights and democratization, collaborating heavily with non-governmental organizations. He was reelected in 1999.
11		Srinivasa Dhanaraj (1941-)	1 January 2004 – 31 December 2013	Sivathra	Coius West	Served full two terms.
		Dhanaraj, a career diplomat who had previously served other important posts, was elected Secretary-General in 2004 with the firm opposition of Ajahadya. His two terms concluded with a positive balance, highlighting the efforts mediating in Satria, the promotion of women in politics and broad programs to end child poverty. Dhanaraj is also known for his strong opinions regarding climate change, topic that he actively discussed during his second term.
12		Ekaterine Beruchashvili (born 1956)	1 January 2014 – present	Vedmed	Euclea West
		Beruchashvili is the first elected female Secretary-General of the CN.
