Imagine this as a list of leaders of a fictional country. It would usually be a presidential system (converting the PMs on the list into presidents), with some experiments with prime ministers in the 60s and at the turn of the millennium. The country would be a fascist dictatorship from 1934 until the late 40s after a brief period of democracy in the early 30s, and would have an affair with the far right in the 70s.
