Nguyễn Công Thịnh Bảo (阮功盛保; 13 June 1906 – 18 June 1967) was a Quenminese politician who served as the 11th Prime Minister of Quenmin.
Bảo was born to a military and police family from his home province of Vũ Bá Province; his father served in the Aichi War. He eventually followed in his uncle's footsteps to join the provincial police force, but soon considered enlisting in the military following the growing tensions between Quenmin and Allamunnika. He then served in the Siduri War and finished his service as a colonel. He continued to remain in the newly reformed Imperial and Royal Quenminese Ground Force, until he resigned to fulfill his interests in becoming a politician in the Nationalist Party . He first served as a member of the Quenminese parliament, then the governor of his home province and eventually, prime minister.
During his three terms as prime minister, he had advocated policies that have augmented the industrial and agricultural development of the nation, which had bolstered the economy. Simultaneously, he became more recognized for his anti-communist policies and his increasingly authoritarian stance, prioritizing national order for the good of the country. Bảo has applied these views by limiting political speech and thought, especially towards the Blue Unicorn Party, and placing surveillance on potential dissidents and literature. Furthermore, he persisted in keeping the the Ostracism in its place, but enacted racial policies to further lift their standards of living, fearing communist subversion among the non-Quynh races, and unfortunately making him an unpopular figure for liberals, progressives and some of the Quenminese citizenry at the same time. During his last seven-year term, he was assassinated on his afternoon walk on June 16, 1967, to which he succumbed from his wounds two days later.
Bảo's term as prime minister was seen as controversial among historians, as well as those in the Nationalist Party. While his authoritarian and racial policies are condemned by the Quenminese people, his accomplishments of putting the economy on a prosperous level were applauded. However, in the contemporary era, more light is shed on his authoritarian demeanor, thereby portraying him more as a condemned individual.
