Template:Politicsboxend The President-General of the People's Republic of Namor (Намора Имингука Даисонлинг tr. Namora Iminguka Daisonling) is the head of state of Namor. Considered the highest office in Namor, the President-General is the chief executive authority of the Namorese government and Supreme Commander of the Namorese Liberation Army.
The powers of the President-General and the means by which the President-General is elected have undergone numerous changes since the founding of the People's Republic in 1925. Originally, the President-General was the leader of the Namorese Central Council and given the authority to veto legislation passed by the Central Council, although in practice this power was rarely used because the CenCo itself was a rubber-stamp legislature largely influenced by the Liberationist Party. After 1955, the office of President-General was separated from the CenCo. The CenCo continued to elect the President-General until 1970 when the first direct presidential election was held.
Eligibility
Article 8 of the Constitution of Namor states that "[t]he President-General must be a citizen of the People's Republic with full electoral rights who is 45 years of age or older and has resided within the territories of the People's Republic for more than 15 years prior to taking office." This excludes Namorese non-citizen nationals, most of whom permanently reside in the Luziycan-administered parts of Nantai, and convicted felons.
Powers
According to Article 7 of the Constitution, "[t]he President-General, in accordance with the will of the Central Council, has the power to direct the central bureaucracy, command the Liberation Army, promulgate laws, appoint members of the State Council, issue state honors and sign treaties."
Under the former constitution, the President-General had the power to veto acts passed by the Central Council, but this power was transferred to the President of the Central Council in the 1955 constitution.
Removal and succession
If found guilty of "unlawful behavior," the President-General may be impeached by the Central Council under Article 15 of the Constitution. Once impeached, the Vice President-General assumes office for the remainder of the ousted President-General's term.
Additional Article 3 of the Constitution establishes a presidential line of succession in the event that the President-General dies or is unable to carry out his duties.
- Vice President-General
- Minister of Foreign Affairs
- Minister of Public Security
- Minister of Defense
- Minister of Ethnic Minority Affairs
- Minister of Economic Development
- Minister of Finance
- Minister of Education
- Minister of Overseas and Nantai Compatriot Affairs
- Minister of Culture
- Minister of Labor
- Minister of Information
- Minister of Infrastructure
- Minister of Agriculture
If no one in the list is able to become President-General, then the Central Council determines the Acting President-General.

Antelope Yunglang (1871 - 1950) |
28 March 1925 | 1 May 1935 | Liberationist | Mikhail Zo |
| Considered the "Father of the People's Republic," Antelope was unanimously elected President-General in 1925 by the Central Council. During his presidency, he initiated programs such as New Revival that reduced unemployment, homelessness and poverty. He also consolidated his hold on power by initiating campaigns targeting former Republicans and suspected opponents to the government. Although Antelope's presidency ended in 1935, he continued to exercise his power as Chairman of the Liberationist Party, making him the de facto ruler of mainland Namor until his death in 1950. | ||||||

Mikhail Zo (1872 - 1949) |
1 May 1935 | 1 April 1940 | Liberationist | Kiang Su |
| Compared with Yunglang Antelope's presidency, Mikhail Zo's presidency was marked by less repression, less ambitious economic programs and more liberal trade policies. This led to a rift between Antelope and Zo, one that would result in Zo's departure from office in 1940 and the rise of Kiang Su. | ||||||

Kiang Su (1878 - 1959) |
1 May 1940 | 1 May 1950 | Liberationist | Wen Taozen |
| Kiang entered office in 1940 after collaborating with Antelope Yunglang to oust Mikhail Zo. Kiang helped execute the Green Fever, chairing the Oversight Committee and the Green Youth Organization. After Antelope's death in 1950, Kiang tried to overthrow the Central Council but was subdued by government forces and imprisoned for the remainder of his life, becoming the first and only former President-General convicted of treason. | ||||||
| 4 | File:Gelaiantelope.jpg | Antelope Gelai (1901 - 1984) |
1 May 1950 | 20 April 1965 | Liberationist | Kong Jo |
| Antelope Gelai is the son of Antelope Yunglang and the longest-serving President-General in PRN history, having been in office under the 1925 Constitution and the 1955 Constitution, which gave him two more terms. During his presidency, Antelope pushed for unprecedented economic and political reforms. The government formally replaced the Liberationist Party as the most powerful body in the Namorese political system, direct elections for Central Council were introduced, and political prisoners were freed. | ||||||
| 5 | File:Kongjo.jpg | Kong Jo (1906 - 1987) |
20 April 1965 | 20 April 1975 | Liberationist | Su Shui |
| Under Kong Jo, political and economic reforms in Namor continued at a faster pace. Kong acquiesced to the demands of the Plum Blossom protesters and promised a direct presidential election in 1970. Reforms slowed after 1971 when Namor fought a third war with Luziyca, prompting the government to divert more of its resources to defense and border security. | ||||||

Su Shui (1924 - ) |
20 April 1975 | 7 November 1982 | Liberationist | Chen Chanin |
| Su's presidency ushered in an era of "pragmatic governance" in which policies were judged not by their compliance with Liberationist dogma but by their "efficacy." Su focused on maintaining economic growth by rewarding private enterprises and signing trade deals with other countries. While he was praised for continuing reforms set by his predecessors, he was also criticized for being too soft on corruption while trying to reassert the Liberationist Party's absolute dominance over Namorese politics. His presidency abruptly ended in 1982 after he was impeached for sharing confidential documents with his family. He was pardoned by acting President-General Chen Chanin. | ||||||

Chen Chanin (1933 - ) |
7 November 1982 | 20 April 1990 | Liberationist | Antelope Txo |
| Chen led a caretaker government following the impeachment of Su Shui. Elected by a narrow margin in 1985, he tried to win public trust in the government by lowering taxes and supporting harsher punishments for corruption. Chen's administration and the Lutheran Catholic Church agreed to jointly appoint the Patriarch of Gusev, although Chen continued to uphold the Three Conditions as a precondition for reconciliation with Luziyca. Conscription was also abolished. In 1990, Chen suffered an electoral defeat at the hands of Democratic Socialist challenger Lan Xuân Hường, becoming the last of seven consecutive Liberationist President-Generals and the second President-General after Mikhail Zo to serve only one term. | ||||||

Lan Xuân Hường (1935 - ) |
20 April 1990 | 20 April 2000 | Democratic Socialist | Kaitlyn Kan |
| Lan is the first female and non-Liberationist President-General of Namor. During her presidency, Namor normalized relations with Luziyca and became a founding member of the ETO, marking the end of Namor's non-aligned foreign policy. The government initiated a renewed crackdown on Otekian separatists following the June 28, 1992 attacks. The Common Medical Care System (CMCS) was introduced and the death penalty was abolished for most crimes. Lan pursued an aggressive policy of Deliberationization in the beginning of her presidency, but was met with resistance and forced to make concessions. | ||||||

Kaitlyn Kan (1950 - ) |
20 April 2000 | 20 April 2005 | Democratic Socialist | Namsa Singho |
| Kan won the 2000 election by a landslide, partially due to the popularity of her predecessor Lan Xuân Hường. She maintained many of Lan's policies, but her popularity declined during the Changlang Crisis, when many accused her of responding inadequately to the actions of the Peitoa regime. As the crisis continued, Kan and the Democratic Socialists were ousted from power in the 2005 election. | ||||||
| 10 | File:Fu wen.jpg | Fu Wen (1946 - ) |
20 April 2005 | 20 April 2015 | New Democratic | Derrick Lee |
| Fu is the first New Democratic President-General of Namor. His presidency saw reduced government role in the economy, expansion of the private sector at a rate unseen since the 1960s, the reunification of Peitoa, and improved relations with Luziyca. The economy experienced stellar growth throughout most of Fu's presidency, although the stock market crashed in 2014, prompting the government to abandon some aspects of its laissez-faire attitude as a means of getting the economy back on track, with limited success. | ||||||
| 11 | File:Shohaiantelope.jpg | Antelope Shohai (1960 - ) |
20 April 2015 | Liberationist | Long Jiaoche | |
| Antelope Shohai is the first President-General to lead a genuine coalition government in which powers are shared among three parties. His presidency has seen the expansion of the Common Medical Care System (CMCS), the passage of the Market Emergency Response Act (MERA), the failed Esquarian Community membership referendum, the National Minimum Wage Act of 2016 and the Third Esquarian Summit in Xiangmen. | ||||||
