Karl Ochsenbein (29 August 1882 - 7 March 1948) was a Besmenian politician. He rose to power as the king of the Besmenian Kingdom/West Besmenien. During his dictatorship from 1920 to 1948, he abolished the office of head of government and took over himself. Ochsenbein banned all political parties in the country and closed the border with East Besmenien. Many people died under his leadership, especially political opponents and border refugees. He is considered a right-wing radical among historians.
