Communist Nouvelle Abagail After the Second Great War, de Paul, a communist hardliner, was installed as governor of Nouvelle Abagail in 1945. Despite not being the first choice of the Inglaterran occupation forces, de Paul was chosen to become leader of the country as a whole after the death of Johannes Endaans. He would rule Los Angeles from his ascendancy in 1946 until his death in 1952.

Communist Noord Groenkust Following the death of de Paul, Staal originally ruled as a part of a collective body consisting of 11-15 (the number of members grew over time) functionaries and higher leaders of the Communist Party. In 1954, this body was purged and left Staal as absolute dictator of Los Angeles. During his rule repression increased, and persecution of non-Conversilha speakers increased. The Villelibrene and Serran communities were in particular heavily persecuted in what has been called an ethnic and cultural cleansing of Angelean society. Staal would die of a heart attack at age 80 in 1961

Communist Jerrostad After Staal died in 1961, a temporary commission consisting of van Bries, Hipolito Rodriguez, and Orlando Costa was appointed by the Presidium of Los Angeles to govern the country. Despite many thinking him to be a hardliner, van Bries was reformist and began to reform the country's political system despite opposition from Rodriguez and Costa. Between 1961 and 1964, van Bries began to overshadow Rodriguez and Costa and became undisputed head of the country. On 3 October 1964, van Bries was found dead. Despite the official autopsy saying van Bries died of natural causes, he was 75 and obese, some scholars allege that either Rodriguez, Costa, or both killed van Bries and covered it up.

Communist Nuevo Serro Taking power in 1964 after the death of his predecessor, van Bries, Costa reflected a general sentiment among the party elite to maintain their control on power and halt the now rapidly growing reform movements. A staunch Blivenist-Hoevenist, Costa began persecution trials of political dissidents, stepped up discriminatory policies against non-Conversilha speakers, and purged party leadership and replaced leadership with those loyal to him. His growing unpopularity was out of touch with the country as a whole led to Bloodless April, when a coup led by Cherk Oketha overthrew the Costa government. Costa would be imprisoned until his death in 1999.

1971
Communist New Ketha After taking power in Bloodless April, Oketha served as General Secretary of Los Angeles from 1969 until his inauguration as president in 1971. Oketha was responsible for many democratic reforms, including the expansion of the franchise to all citizens, not just party members, the legalization of opposition parties, and the transfer of power to the Presidium, effectively turning the previously autocratic General Secretary position into an indirectly elected head of government and the previously rubber stamping body into a full fledged legislature. For his acts he has been called the "Father of Los Angeles".

1971-Present

The current era in Angelean politics has been marked by decentralization of power away from the executive and towards the legislature, the end of official discriminatory practices against minority languages and ethnic groups, democratic and capitalist reforms, and multiparty elections.
