|colspan=5 align=left| {{small|Alekssun was both the first and longest-serving Thingspeaker under the 1933 Basic Law. His government enacted many social reforms that have been said to lay the foundation for Azmara's social democratic model, with the government enacting a massive expansion of the country's unemployment insurance, sick pay and public pension systems and establishing the Tripartite Council in which trade unions and employers' organisations could collectively agree on economic policy and workplace practices. Furthermore, many sectors were brought under government control, with utilities such as energy, rail, mail and water and key sectors such as coal steel and shipbuilding being nationalised. Alekssun's government would seek economic co-operation with other Euclean countries, co-establishing the [[United Nations of Euclea]], and would maintain a strong anti-functionalist stance, joining the Community of Nations intervention in the [[Solarian War]] against functionalist Etruria.}}

Mikel Hankssun (18th March 1800 - 10th January 1876) was an Azmaran political leader, lawyer and statesman who served as the first President of Azmara between 1855 and 1867. A leading figure in the Revolution of 1855, he is viewed as one of the founders of republican Azmara alongside his political rival Jorś Wilhjâlmssun.

Ideologically an Azmaran nationalist and radical liberal, Hankssun sought to create a secular Azmaran nation unified by a shared cultural and linguistic heritage and ruled by a republican government inspired by the Seyresian principle of separation of powers and the principle of universal rights of man.
