The Chancellor of Vilcasuamanas (Ruttish: Vilkasuamanos kancleris) is the head of state and the head of government of the Republic of Vilcasuamanas, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Vilcasuamanian Armed Forces. This unique fusion of powers, most similar to the Ordennyan model, is unlike most other parliamentary democracies in Kylaris. Usually the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, the Chancellor is elected by the Seimas and confirmed by the Supreme Court. The Chancellor directs government policy through the Cabinet of Vilcasuamanas and through giving (or witholding) legislative assent. The Chamber of Deputies may remove the Chancellor with a vote of no-confidence, triggering a snap election.

The modern executive office of Chancellor was created in 1863 following the Second Vilcasuamanian Civil War, although the position itself has existed since 1815. Since that time, there have been 47 individuals that have held the office, as well as at least five others which have held corresponding positions. The longest-serving Chancellor was Marshal Mauricijus Sprogys, who served 19 years, 4 months and 28 days from 1959 to 1978; the longest-serving democratically-elected Chancellor was Laimis Petrosiumas (1874-1882), at 8 years and 24 days. The shortest serving chancellor was Vladas Strasunskas, who served 24 days in 1927.

The current Chancellor is Vytautas Kaparauskas, of the Sotirian Social Alliance, who has served since November 2015.

Mykolas Sauka
(1799 - 1865)
25th March 1863 20th December 1865 2 years, 8 months and 25 days Liberal
Mounted liberal rebellion against conservative Unitarian regime of Elfegas Grigucevičius, uniting social liberals and federalists in the cause of the "Liberal Regeneration". Laid the groundwork for the modern federal republic with the Constitution of 1863, which notably outlawed indigenous serfdom and established the concept of separation of church and state. Participated in first free elections of Vilcasuamanian history, but died of tuberculosis before votes were counted.
11 General José Hilario López.jpg Algirdas Basanavičius
(1798 - 1872)
20th December 1865 15th November 1870 4 years, 10 months and 26 days XIV
(1865)
Liberal
Appointed by Seimas to serve Sauka's term. Initially considered an ally of liberalism, Basanavičius broke with the policies laid out by his predecessor. Tempering the radicalism of the Regeneration, he created a centralized national post office and restored the standing army. Unpopularity among the Liberal orthodoxy led to Basanavičius limiting his chancellorship to one term.

(1870)
Liberal
Supported by radical liberals, Kvasinkas butted heads with the Solarian Catholic Church, legalizing civil marriage and attempting to pass an amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing free and secular education. Controversial comments, presented as rabid anticlerical by his opponents, cause an erosion of support from moderate liberals and a vote of no confidence.
13 Bartolomé Calvo.jpg Sebastijonas Levendavičius

20th February 1872 15th November 1874 2 years, 8 months and 26 days XVI
(1871)
Unitarian
Elected after Liberals failed to unite around a successor to Kvasinskas. Mended relations with the Church but failed to rollback other liberal reforms, largely due to ill health. Narrowly lost 1871 general election and replaced as party leader shortly thereafter.

First chancellor to sit as an elected member of the Seimas. Instituted civil service reform, promulgated first national census, and developed the city of Biržuventis. Encouraged exploitation of Scythian rainforest by promoting mass settlement programs. Passed major land redistribution legislation in 1880, aiming to transfer church-owned lands to private landowners; this triggered a vote of no confidence which resulted in a stronger majority. Signed Aquinas Treaty of Defensive Alliance with Marirana, in opposition to Satucin and Gaullican imperialism. Died of a stroke shortly after fourth electoral victory in 1882.
15 File:Angulo, Euclides de.jpg Mikalojus Žasinas
(1831-1900)
9th December 1882 22nd February 1884 1 year, 2 months and 13 days Liberal
Petrosiumas' Interior Minister, his chancellorship was dominated by foreign affairs. Entered into the War of the Arucian against Gaullica, only for early victories to be reversed by the entry of Nuvania. Worsening military situation led to his resignation.

Presided over outbreak of civil war, with conservatives attempting to reverse Liberal Regeneration.

(1894)
Liberal
(Constitutionalist)
Voted in due to agrarian backlash. In foreign policy, reduced tariffs and abandoned Mariranan ties in favor of Eldmark.

(1844 - 1920)
21st March 1896 24th October 1896 7 months and 3 days Liberal

A Constitutionalist Liberal, Valeška refused to pursue the radical policies demanded by the progressive wing of the party. Lack of party support lead to his failure in the general election.

Hoping to win over Constitutionalist Liberals, Krasnadamskis tempered centralist rhetoric and instead doubled down on non-interventionist social policies. Failed a no-confidence vote, only to be returned to lead a drastically-lessened minority government by the 1899 snap election. Lost power to insurgent National Liberals the next year.

Chief ideologue of the National Liberals, Vailokaitis broke with the conservative-leaning Constitutionalists and advocated radical progressive policies reminiscent of the Regeneration. Extended the franchise to all males and established the Ministry of Indian Affairs. Embarked on ambitious land reform programs, seizing church land and redistributing it to the peasantry. Embraced a nationalist foreign policy, renewing irredentist claims and demonstrating a marked hostility to Euclean influence in the Asterias. Drastically raised tariffs and began nationalizing foreign-owned rubber plantations in 1906. Threat of Euclean intervention caused his resignation.

(Military)
Took power in coup d'etat, dissolved Seimas due to disagreements and inability to form government with Liberal Party. Implemented ISI-based trade policies to spur growth of industrial sector. Drastically tightened immigration policies. Tackled rubber overproduction by burning surpluses, balancing out prices. Supported by the landowning oligarchy, Mažvydas became more authoritarian by the late 1930s, suspending key articles of the Constitution concerning freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. Assumed state control over foreign oil refineries in 1923, alienating Euclean powers and Satucin. Fled the country during the opening stages of the Great War.

Assumed power with backing of the Entente military administration, signing Treaty of Vandžiogalas. Enacted the Plan of Aporimakas, aimed at systematically reversing decades of liberal reforms. Šivickas pursued hardline corporatist policies against Bahians, Asterindians, and workers. Heavy-handed authoritarianism lost him the support of the "silent majority" of urban conservatives. Deteriorating military situation caused him to seek peace terms with the National Resistance Government, prompting his removal. Was executed after the war for collaboration.

Disputing legitimacy of Vilcasuamine State and Treaty of Vandžiogalas, Ciapas declared a "Government of National Resistance" (VNP), continuing the war from the National Redoubt defensive lines in the mountains. Successfully drew the Entente into bitter attritionary alpine warfare, while maintaining constant opposition to Šivickas' puppet regime. Viewed as an effective war leader, Ciapas' campaigns eventually prompted the mass withdrawal of Entente forces and the beginning of a counterattack into Satucin; he would not live to see victory, however, killed in a bombing shortly before the Peace of Gatôn.

Took power in a coup d'état. Fiercely anti-collectivist, Sprogys created the NZPTD intelligence service with sweeping powers of arrest, detention, and deportation; several thousand suspected socialists and syndicalists were imprisoned without trial or disappeared. Implementing neoliberal reforms, Sprogys stabilized a plummeting economy and ushered in a period of national growth, though one also characterized by rising inequality. Foreign policy dominated by rapprochement with neighbors, forging alliances with Nuvania, Satucin, Sanslumière and Marirana, and founding the AFDC. Low-intensity insurgency caused Sprogys to announce democratization, but he died before this could be carried out.
