Stipo Sevšek (12 December 1889 – 6 August 1942) was a Flecquist political activist and revolutionary who ruled as the Supreme Leader of Zacotia for two years, from 1940. His brief rule was characterized by the sudden imposition of totalitarianism on the country and his sweeping purges of political opposition. His rule was cut short when he was deposed by Mauro Senković, a Zacotian army general, and placed under arrest. Less than a week after his arrest, he was executed by firing squad. His death prompted Anton Marusić to order Luepolan military intervention in Zacotia, starting the Great War. The effects of his rule are considered to be a primary factor for Luepola's success in the early years of the Great War, as well as Zacotia's eventual alignment with the Vierz Empire in the Silent War and to the present day.
