List of heads of state of Meridon

The President of Meridon

has been the country's head of state since 1793, when the office formally superseded the presidency of the Revolutionary Saeimas. The president also acted as head of government of Aucuria from 1793 to 1843 and from 1935 to 1980; under the current constitution, however, the powers of the head of government are instead held by the Chancellor. The president is elected by direct popular vote. A presidential term currently lasts six years, but the office had a four-year term from 1793 to 1843 and a five-year term from 1935 to 1980.

The first president of Aucuria was Bendiktas Klimantis. The longest-serving president of Aucuria was Fridrikas Dabrauskas, who held the title for 22 years, 2 months, and 14 days before his assassination; the shortest-serving president, Juozapas Juknevičius, held the title for only five days before being forced from office by the Velvet Revolution. Of those presidents officially recognized as having held the office by the Aucurian government, twelve left or were removed from office before the end of a presidential term; of these, one (Antanas Endrijauskas) resigned, one (Petras Erenbergas) was impeached and removed from office, two (Valdemaras Slankauskas and Kestutis Ambrulaitis) ceded power to military rulers, two (Mindaugas Ulpis and Albertas Kalvaitis) died in office of natural causes, three (Liudvikas Šrioderis, Martynas Sprogys, and Juozapas Juknevičius) were deposed, and three (Fridrikas Dabrauskas, Hektoras Kuprys, and Adrianas Volpis) were assassinated. The three individuals who claimed the presidency but are not regarded as legitimate presidents by the modern Aucurian government - Eimuntas Lukauskis, Izoakas Kačinskas, and Karolis Tarvydas - were all either deposed or assassinated.

The incumbent president of Aucuria, since 2016, is Žygimantas Barauskas of the Social Democratic Party.
