The Federative Republic of Marirana in its history has had various heads of state under different regimes in its history. Since the declaration of an independent Marirana in the 1719 there has been 45 heads of state of Marirana, of which 1 was a monarch, 34 constitutionally elected presidents, 3 military dictators and 7 interim leaders with the country being ruled by a military occupation as well and having 3 de facto head of states. Since 1994 Mariranan heads of state have governed as republican presidents under the 1992 constitution.
The pre-colonial Marirana was governed by petty kingdoms and tribes, with the largest being the Oaexicun Empire. Under colonial rule Marirana was officially ruled by the Archbishop of Aquinas who was appointed by the Solarian Catholic Church. The independence of Marirana was successful as loyalists and nationalists agreed to create a federal republic under a dictator elected by parliament with the first dictator being Cosimo Leopolda. In 1860 reformists changed the constitution changing the title to president, limiting presidents for a single five year term in office which was changed in 1790 to allow for re-election. In 1811 in a coup d'état radicals under Salvatore Moretti took power transforming the presidency into a dictator under a centralised state. The Mariranan-Roessen rule saw Marirana become a Grand Duchy in 1827.
In 1846 the Centralist Republic of Marirana was created with a strong presidency - between 1852-1870 Marirana was governed as a “presidential dictatorship”, returning to a constitutional republic in 1870. In 1905 the election of Ottaviano Castello saw the creation of the Sotirian State of Marirana and the replacement of the presidency with the position of Il Duce which was a personalist, right-wing dictatorship.
The Asterian occupation following the Great War saw Marirana transformed into a representative democracy with a liberalised economy, with presidents being able to be elected to a single five year term as was the case under the First Federative Republic. In 1972 the Fourth Federative Republic was dissolved and replaced by a civic-military dictatorship which saw the post of president become a figurehead, with real power being held by the head of the Standing Committee of Armed Forces Command, a military junta. In 1986 the dictatorship collapsed but the 1973 constitution remained in place until 1992, with the first president being elected under the 1992 constitution being Romano Michelozzi. The current president is Lorenzo Occhetto first elected in 2018.

Although far-right and possessing several features reminiscent of National Functionalism Castello's reactionary politics mean his regime was more in line with a traditionalist, authoritarian form of conservatism. Upon coming to power, Castello launched the White Terror which saw 500,000 suspect communists and leftist agitators killed by Castello's regime. Castello began to create a centralised, military dictatorship as well as a cult of personality. Economically Castello launched a policy of autarkey and corpratisation based on the ideas of national syndicalism. Although in the short term an economic disaster, autarkey meant that Marirana was isolated from the Great Depression resulting in Castello to begin a programme of military Keynesianism.
