World Enemy Council
editA body of countries and organizations near-universally condemned and despised by the entire global community. Under construction.
| President | Representative | Tenure | Vice president(s) | Representative | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 First French Empire |
Napoleon I (Emperor) | October 26, 1805 – April 6, 1814 (8 years, 162 days) |
None (1805–1806) Confederation of the Rhine (1806–1813) Kingdom of Italy (1813–1814) |
Karl von Dalberg (1806–1813) Eugène de Beauharnais (from 1813)[a] |
Became 1st president of the council and first global enemy after the formation of the Third Coalition in 1805. Resigned after Napoleon's abdication and became a non-voting member during his exile on Elba. |
 Nazi Germany |
Adolf Hitler (Führer, 1939–1945)[b] Joseph Goebbels (Chancellor, 1945)[b] Karl Dönitz (President, 1945) |
August 29, 1939 – May 9, 1945 (5 years, 253 days) |
 Soviet Union (1939–1941) Empire of Japan (1941–1945) |
Joseph Stalin (1939–1941)[c] Hideki Tojo (1941–1944)[d] Kuniaki Koiso (1944–1945)[d] Kantarō Suzuki (1945)[e] |
Assumed office in a power-sharing deal with the Soviet Union at the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Resigned after the signing of the German Instrument of Surrender and rapid ascension of Japan during Battle of Berlin; retained membership until dissolution of the Flensburg government a few weeks later. |
| Empire of Japan |
Kantarō Suzuki (Prime Minister) |
May 9, 1945 – September 2, 1945 (116 days) |
Vacant | Not applicable | Assumed office following the German surrender. Its pariah status to the Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor contributed to the Empire's election to the vice presidency, succeeding the Soviets. However, rapid loss of territories in the Pacific meant it never gained enough influence on the Council to retain power, and was soundly beaten in the Sept. 1945 snap election by the Soviet Union and removed after the Empire's dissolution in 1947. |
| Soviet Union |
Joseph Stalin (General Secretary/Premier, 1945–1953)[b] Georgy Malenkov (Premier, 1953)[f] Nikita Khrushchev (First Secretary/Premier, 1953–1964)[g] Leonid Brezhnev (General Secretary, 1964–1982)[b][h] Yuri Andropov (General Secretary, 1982–1984)[b][i] Konstantin Chernenko (General Secretary, 1984–1985)[b][j] Mikhail Gorbachev (General Secretary/President, 1985–1990)[k] |
September 2, 1945 – August 2, 1990 (44 years, 334 days) |
Vacant (1945–1949) People's Republic of China (1949–1950)[l] North Korea (1950–1953)[m] North Vietnam (1953–1963)[n] Cuba (1963–1964)[o] People's Republic of China (1964–1990)[p] |
Mao Zedong (1949–1950) Kim Il-Sung (1950–1953) Ho Chi Minh (1953–1963) Fidel Castro (1963–1964) Mao Zedong (1964–1976)[b] Hua Guofeng (1976–1980) Deng Xiaoping (from 1980) |
Became president upon return to the Council and defeat of Japan based on expected return of communism as the No. #1 enemy political ideology. The Truman Doctrine and cementing of power between 1947 and 1949 allowed the nation to lead by decree until forced to pick China (by popular vote) as vice president upon the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.
From 1945 to 1990, all vice presidential candidates were either China or world players in the Cold War supported by China or the Soviet Union. It gradually lost power after Brezhnev's death, the short terms of Andropov and Chernenko and finally Gorbachev's road of reconciliation, especially his declaration of openness to Soviet satellite states holding free elections and amendment of the Soviet Constitution to remove the Communist Party's place in the state apparatus. The USSR was dissolved in 1991. Resigned after the beginning of the Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein's Iraq was voted into power. Longest-serving president. |
 Ba'athist Iraq |
Saddam Hussein (President) | August 2, 1990 – February 28, 1991 (210 days) | China |
Deng Xiaoping | Held power for the entirety of the Gulf War; forced to resign upon the country's defeat but regained significant power in the wake of the Iraq War in America's growing focus on the Middle East until the state's defeat in 2003 and Saddam's execution. Despite holding the presidency, de facto power was held by China. |
| Vacant[q] (February 28, 1991 – September 27, 1996) | |||||
 Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan |
Mullah Omar (Leader) | September 27, 1996 – September 11, 2001 (4 years, 349 days) |
Various, including North Korea, Venezuela and Cambodia | Pol Pot (longest-serving, 1997–1998)[r] | Their hold on power, in spite of being the first terrorist movement to attain de facto leadership of a country, was shaky due to disputed status with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan led by Burhanuddin Rabbani. De facto power was again held by China until Deng's death in 1997. Resigned following the September 11 attacks in favour of al-Qaeda, in spite of strong protest among the "State" faction led by China and North Korea for a conventional power to again assume the presidency. |
 al-Qaeda |
Osama bin Laden (General Emir)[b] | September 11, 2001 – May 2, 2011 (9 years, 233 days) |
Ba'athist Iraq (2001–2003) North Korea (from 2003)[s] |
Saddam Hussein (2001–2003)[t] Kim Jong-il (from 2003) |
First non-state actor to assume the presidency (by Article 1 vote),[u] due to global infamy and War on Terror following the September 11 attacks. As architect of the attack, bin Laden's terrorist organization was invited by Middle Eastern countries to assume the presidency, with Afghanistan's Omar doing so expecting that his government would be toppled from power and lose Council support. With backing from this faction, al-Qaeda was elected and held power until bin Laden's killing in 2011. |
 Libyan Arab Jamahiriya |
Muammar Gaddafi (Brotherly Leader)[b] | May 2, 2011 – October 20, 2011 (171 days) | North Korea |
Kim Jong-il | Widely regarded as the "Terror" Faction's top candidate to succeed bin Laden (the Pan Am Flight 103 incident being a talking point during earlier election campaigns), Gaddafi's Libya succeeded bin Laden in defiance of procedure that dictated North Korea to assume the presidency. The collapse of the government and Gaddafi's death resulted in North Korea's promotion to the presidency. |
| North Korea |
Kim Jong-il (General Secretary/Chairman, 2011)[b][v] Kim Jong-un (General Secretary/President, 2011–2014) |
October 20, 2011 – August 19, 2014 (2 years, 321 days) | China (2011–2014; 2014) Russia (2014)[w] |
Hu Jintao (2011–2012) Xi Jinping (2012–2014; 2014) Vladimir Putin (2014) |
Won the October 2011 emergency election based on status as a closed nation-dictatorship, WMD programme and financial support from China. China's assistance prevented a power struggle after Kim Jong-il's death in 2011, and threats of nuclear attack on member states. Forced to resign after an Article 1 vote on the ISIS beheading incidents and resurgence of the Terror faction. |
 Islamic State |
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (Caliph) | August 19, 2014 – July 20, 2017 (2 years, 335 days) | North Korea (2014–2016) Russia (2016–2017) |
Kim Jong-un (until 2016) Vladimir Putin (from 2016) |
Assumed presidency by Article 1 vote amid the beheading incidents from 2013 to 2015.[u] Unlike al-Qaeda however, ISIS lacked reliable state support and quickly lost favour of the Terror faction, including al-Qaeda and the Taliban who gave only token support to gain the presidency, and was forced to rely on consensus to maintain a coalition. Resigned after losing Mosul in 2017. |
| North Korea |
Kim Jong-un (General Secretary/President) | July 20, 2017 – April 2, 2018 (256 days) | China |
Xi Jinping | Following the Islamic State's downfall, North Korea easily won the July 2017 election in a landslide, agreeing to a power-sharing deal with longtime ally China. The commencement of trade hostilities between China and the United States in April 2018 coincided with the March 2018 election, which China won. |
| China |
Xi Jinping (General Secretary/President) | April 2, 2018 – May 1, 2021 (3 years, 29 days) | North Korea (2018–2019) Russia (2019–2021) |
Kim Jong-un (until 2019) Vladimir Putin (from 2019) |
Won the presidency in the March 2018 election caused by the China–United States trade war and escalation of tensions by the Trump administration. Consequently, North Korea diminished in power but remained a senior Council member when North Korea and Russia made a power-sharing deal. Lost the presidency by Article 1 vote to the Taliban. |
| Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan[x] |
Hibatullah Akhundzada (Emir)[y] | May 1, 2021 – September 7, 2021 (129 days) | China |
Xi Jinping | Assumed presidency via Article 1 vote on the 2021 Taliban offensive and subsequent fall of Kabul, with strong support from the Terror faction. Their hold on power was brief; snap elections ordered by China, which they won, proved the State faction had regained influence, and Afghanistan lost the presidency on the day the Emirate's government was announced, shattering the Terror faction. |
| China |
Xi Jinping (General Secretary/President) | September 7, 2021 – February 21, 2022 (167 days) | Russia |
Vladimir Putin | Assumed power in a snap election called for under vice presidential authority, with Russia succeeding China due to power-sharing deal. Status as leader cemented following the November 2021 resolution raising Xi to the prestige of Mao Zedong. Switched places with Russia after the Feb. 2022 Article 1 vote. |
| Russia |
Vladimir Putin (President) | February 21, 2022 – present (2 years, 263 days) |
China |
Xi Jinping | Assumed presidency via Article 1 vote on the incursion into Donbas.[z] Per the power-sharing deal, China was retained as vice president,[aa] cementing observations that conventional dictatorships have regained permanent enemy status in a probable Second Cold War. |
