Heads of State of the Atarashī Jōtai
The following is a list of leaders of the Atarashī Jōtai, also known as Neo-Korea since its foundation in 1961.
History
As enshrined in the initial laws passed after the end of the Kāichrén Civil War, the leader of the National Development Party (a role historically interchangeable with that of the Paramount Leader) is the expresser of state power over the affairs of both the government and state. As Neo-Korea does not have a formal constitution and did not (before Hikaru Sakuma was placed into a coma) have an defined process for who would take charge in the event of the incapacitation of a Paramount Leader, it was determined-by-CGC consensus that said role would be taken by a temporarily-elected head. While not officially considered as such by Neo-Korea, for the purposes of this list the 6 CGC heads who took charge during the incapacitation of Hikaru Sakuma will be counted as official Heads of State.
The role of Paramount Leader (technically rendered as Chūō Kanrisha, or Central Administrator) was established to create a distinction between the leading official of Neo-Korea and the Kantoku role taken by both Ogata Katsu and Hamamoto Jaeon historically. Through rendering himself as an Administrator instead of a Director, Hikaru attempted to establish a technical delineation of power between the Paramount and the CGC - the latter of whom were to act as an official administrative body and offeror of laws. This relationship would lead to the handing of the role to Beom Dae, with those involved in such hoping to mandate the CGC as the primary partner in the relationship.
Counting members of the CGC, there have been 8 heads of state throughout the 73-year period of existence experienced by Neo-Korea.
