Lee Na Yeon (born 5 December 1921 ), nicknamed "the Rich Bitch" is a Korean Australasian politician who served as the last Prime Minister of California under Australasian Rule from 2024 to 2029 and the first state president of the Republic of California since 2029.
In 2024, Lee was appointed prime minister, but like her predecessor Gavin Newsom, she was a staunch republican and one of the leaders of the Californian Independence Movement . Despite this, she had earlier kneeled before Queen Elizabeth II and kissed her hand as well as swearing an oath of Premiership to a portrait of Robert Menzies , the founding father of the United Australasian Commonwealth. In a referendum the following year, a small majority of White voters endorsed a government proposal to become a republic. In 2029, after signing the new republican constitution passed by Parliament into law, she asked the Queen to release her from office, and Parliament then elected her as President, the new post which replaced the monarch and the Governor-General as ceremonial head of state.
