Notes
1. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p Queen Elizabeth II is separately and equally monarch of 16 sovereign countries sometimes known collectively as the Commonwealth realms. In each of these countries, with the exception of the United Kingdom (where she predominantly resides), she is represented by a governor-general (unhyphenated in Canada as "governor general") at the national level. In some of these countries, opinion differs as to whether the Queen or governor-general should be designated as head of state; there is no questioning of the Queen's position as sovereign, above the governors-general, however.

References
1. ^ The three-member presidency is the head of state collectively. 2. ^ a b The Preface to the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea states, "The DPRK and the entire Korean people will uphold the great leader Comrade Kim Il-sung as the eternal President of the Republic, defend and carry forward his ideas and exploits and complete the Juche revolution under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea." Kim Il-sung died in 1994. 3. ^ The State of Palestine was proclaimed on 15 November 1988 by the Palestinian National Council (PNC) in Algiers but remains a putative state, de facto ineffective despite widespread international recognition. 4. ^ The seven member Swiss Federal Council is the collective Head of State and the government of the Swiss Confederation. Within the Council, the President of the Swiss Confederation serves solely in a primus inter pares capacity for one year.
