The Secretary-General of the Community of Nations is the leading executive and presiding legislative figure of the Community of Nations, and is responsible for the enforcement of international laws, regulations, and treaties. The Secretary-General is an extremely important individual who wields great influence in the international community. 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.

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. | ||||||
Seán Fitzgerald (1905–1961) |

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. | ||||||

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. | ||||||
