The United Transestrurian Federation in its history has had various heads of state under different regimes in its history. Since the declaration of the federal-republic in 1917 there has been XX heads of state of Etruria, of which XX constitutionally elected presidents and 1 elected First Citizen, X military dictators and X interim leaders. Since 1917 Etrurian heads of state also serve as head of government. Since 2016, the office encompassing both head of government and state has been officially renamed as First Citizen.
The pre-republican Etruria was dominated by the Kingdom of Vespasia, which was governed through an elected monarchy, drawn primarily from the ruling families of the pre-unification statelets, maritime republics, city-states and duchies. Following the political instability of the first two-decades of the 20th century, the monarchy was overthrown and a democratic federal republic was proclaimed, with the office of President being head of state and government. Etruria's political system is parliamentary in nature, with the President coming from the United Congress of Etruria and depending on its confidence to remain in office. Between 1917 and 1938, Etruria was ruled under its parliamentary system, however, following the country's political, economic and social collapse in wake of the "Great War", the system was supplanted by a military dictatorship under the State Commission for National Resurgence (CSRN).
Following the CSRN's defeat in the Solarian War in 1943, democracy was returned with the election of President Amintore Merzagora. However, renewed political instability and rising violence among ethnic minorities during the 1970s resulted in the return of military rule through the State Authority for Order and Peace (ASOP). The ASOP would rule continuously until 1983, when it voluntarily and peacefully returned power to democratically elected government. President Niko Zaninović was the first democratically elected to assume office in 1983. From 1983 until 2016, the Etrurian government would be dominated by a two-party system, with power alternating between the Etrurian Socialist Party and Etrurian Federalist Party. In 2016, in wake of growing dissatisfaction with the socio-economic and political situation in Etruria and the failed referendum on membership of the Euclean Community, Francesco Carcaterra of the populist Tribune Movement became President. Amendments to the constitution in 2016 were key to transferring several new powers to the office from the legislature, leading some to describe the 2016 constitution as having made a "compromised parliamentary-republic."
This is a list of the heads of state of Etruria, from the formation of the United Kingdom of Carinthia, Novalia and Vespasia in 1733.

Ercolani oversaw the end of the Great War with Etruria on the victorious side. However, his government's total failure to secure any territorial concessions and the failure to even re-acquire territory lost during the War results in mass protests and collapse in support for the government. His decision to extend the Occupation of Aquila indefinitely is blamed for the main reason of the "Il Grande Tradimento" (Great Betrayal). The post-peace instability resulted in the Etrurian Military entering his government, replacing his cabinet with officers, turning him into a figurehead. His failure to re-take Etruria's Legation Cities during the Sarenian Reclamation in 1938 resulted in his indefinite overthrow by Ettore Caviglia. He was killed the same day when an unknown assailant threw him out of a forth floor window. |

Appointed Director-General of the Mandate for Etruria by the Community of Nations to oversee reconstruction and the implementation of a new constitution and democratic system. Besides the International Criminal Tribunal for the Solarian War, significant number of Etrurian officials and military commanders reportedly involved in the war's atrocities escaped prosecution due to the pressure on Fitzgerald to preserve some aspects of the Etrurian state. He succeeded beyond expectations in restoring law and order, basic utilities and services and the smooth and peaceful transition back to democracy in the Etrurian general election of 1948. His other lasting legacy is the Fitzgerald Law, a legal work aimed at prohibiting the use of functionalist slogans, symbology and veneration of the ERR. It has since been amended and expanded to criminalise hate speech toward minorities. |

His government is credit with the "Rinascita Economica" (Economic Resurgence) which saw annual growth rates of 5-6% from 1974 until 1985. His tenure also saw greater authoritarianism toward critics and pro-democracy activists.

His government also launched several major investigations into organised crime ties to the federal government, while he also came out victorious in the Ossuccio Crisis; successfully removing Eugenio Turelli as President of Ossuccio following the latter's anti-democratic policies.

His government expanded health-insurance subsidies to greater number of people, including offering free health-care to children aged between 0-16. His government also sought to reduce the level of influence of the Solarian Catholic Church and proposed progressive policies regarding the LGBT community and Abortion. This led to running confrontations with the Catholic clergy and social-conservative parties.

This included reforms to healthcare that increased the role of private healthcare companies, while a complete privatisation of dental care took place, covered by government oversight. Onoforio limited the pace of pro-EC reforms owing to continued factional opposition to membership.
