The Chancellor of Vilcasuamanas (Ruttish: Vilkasuamanos kancleris) is the head of state and the head of government of the Republic of Vilcasuamanas, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Vilcasuamanian Armed Forces. This unique fusion of powers, most similar to the Ordennyan model, is unlike most other parliamentary democracies in Kylaris. Usually the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, the Chancellor is elected by the Seimas and confirmed by the Supreme Court. The Chancellor directs government policy through the Cabinet of Vilcasuamanas and through giving (or witholding) legislative assent. The Chamber of Deputies may remove the Chancellor with a vote of no-confidence, triggering a snap election.

The modern executive office of Chancellor was created in 1863 following the Second Vilcasuamanian Civil War, although the position itself has existed since 1815. Since that time, there have been 47 individuals that have held the office, as well as at least five others which have held corresponding positions. The longest-serving Chancellor was Marshal Mauricijus Sprogys, who served 19 years, 4 months and 28 days from 1959 to 1978; the longest-serving democratically-elected Chancellor was Laimis Petrosiumas (1874-1882), at 8 years and 24 days. The shortest serving chancellor was Vladas Strasunskas, who served 24 days in 1927.

The current Chancellor is Vytautas Kaparauskas, of the Sotirian Social Alliance, who has served since November 2015.

Mounted liberal rebellion against conservative Unitarian regime of Elfegas Grigucevičius, uniting social liberals and federalists in the cause of the "Liberal Regeneration". Laid the groundwork for the modern federal republic with the Constitution of 1863, which notably outlawed indigenous serfdom and established the concept of separation of church and state. Participated in first free elections of Vilcasuamanian history, but died of tuberculosis before votes were counted.

Appointed by Seimas to serve Sauka's term. Initially considered an ally of liberalism, Basanavičius broke with the policies laid out by his predecessor. Tempering the radicalism of the Regeneration, he created a centralized national post office and restored the standing army. Unpopularity among the Liberal orthodoxy led to Basanavičius limiting his chancellorship to one term.

Supported by radical liberals, Kvasinkas butted heads with the Solarian Catholic Church, legalizing civil marriage and attempting to pass an amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing free and secular education. Controversial comments, presented as rabid anticlerical by his opponents, cause an erosion of support from moderate liberals and a vote of no confidence.

First chancellor to sit as an elected member of the Seimas. Instituted civil service reform, promulgated first national census, and developed the city of Biržuventis. Encouraged exploitation of Scythian rainforest by promoting mass settlement programs. Passed major land redistribution legislation in 1880, aiming to transfer church-owned lands to private landowners; this triggered a vote of no confidence which resulted in a stronger majority. Signed Aquinas Treaty of Defensive Alliance with Marirana, in opposition to Satucin and Gaullican imperialism. Died of a stroke shortly after fourth electoral victory in 1882.

Petrosiumas' Interior Minister, his chancellorship was dominated by foreign affairs. Entered into the War of the Arucian against Gaullica, only for early victories to be reversed by the entry of Nuvania. Worsening military situation led to his resignation.

(Constitutionalist)
Voted in due to agrarian backlash. In foreign policy, reduced tariffs and abandoned Mariranan ties in favor of Eldmark.

Extended the franchise to all males and established the Ministry of Indian Affairs. Embarked on ambitious land reform programs, seizing church land and redistributing it to the peasantry. Embraced a nationalist foreign policy, renewing irredentist claims and demonstrating a marked hostility to Euclean influence in the Asterias. Drastically raised tariffs and began nationalizing foreign-owned rubber plantations in 1906. Threat of Euclean intervention caused his resignation.

Drastically tightened immigration policies. Tackled rubber overproduction by burning surpluses, balancing out prices. Supported by the landowning oligarchy, Mažvydas became more authoritarian by the late 1930s, suspending key articles of the Constitution concerning freedoms of speech, press, and assembly.

Assumed power with backing of the Entente military administration, signing Treaty of Vandžiogalas. Enacted the Plan of Aporimakas, aimed at systematically reversing decades of liberal reforms. Šivickas pursued hardline corporatist policies against Bahians, Asterindians, and workers. Heavy-handed authoritarianism lost him the support of the "silent majority" of urban conservatives. Deteriorating military situation caused him to seek peace terms with the National Resistance Government, prompting his removal. Was executed after the war for collaboration.

Disputing legitimacy of Vilcasuamine State and Treaty of Vandžiogalas, Ciapas declared a "Government of National Resistance" (VNP), continuing the war from the National Redoubt defensive lines in the mountains. Successfully drew the Entente into bitter attritionary alpine warfare, while maintaining constant opposition to Šivickas' puppet regime. Viewed as an effective war leader, Ciapas' campaigns eventually prompted the mass withdrawal of Entente forces and the beginning of a counterattack into Satucin; he would not live to see victory, however, killed in a bombing shortly before the Peace of Gatôn.

Took power in a coup d'état. Fiercely anti-collectivist, Sprogys created the NZPTD intelligence service with sweeping powers of arrest, detention, and deportation; several thousand suspected socialists and syndicalists were imprisoned without trial or disappeared. Implementing neoliberal reforms, Sprogys stabilized a plummeting economy and ushered in a period of national growth, though one also characterized by rising inequality. Foreign policy dominated by rapprochement with neighbors, forging alliances with Nuvania, Satucin, Sanslumière and Marirana, and founding the AFDC. Low-intensity insurgency caused Sprogys to announce democratization, but he died before this could be carried out.

Normantas' former Minister for Transport, Veiverys was the only prominent cabinet member untouched by the 1100 Procedūra scandal. Attempting to distance himself from Normantas, Veiverys put a larger emphasis on combating narcotrafficking; his efforts were seen as ineffectual and tainted by the retention of Normantas appointees. After losing party support concerning budgetary priorities in 1996, he was removed in a vote of no confidence.
