meh.. sometimes local leaders matter more than other times, even to their constituents. But just assuming that what you said is true, isn't it also true by implication of your own statement that some of these leaders do not matter beyond the vicinity of their own country? So... since nobody taking this quiz can be in all places at the same time... we are in agreement.

It's pretty obvious that people like Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin are more consequential than the leaders of Suriname and Vanuatu. The mere existence of this quiz discerns between the most important leaders (i.e., those we'd stand a chance at knowing) and less important leaders. On this quiz, Biden, Putin, and Xi are probably the most important (among current leaders, at least). It's just a reality that some countries wield more influence than others.

Yes, obviously some leaders are more powerful than others. It's a spectrum. But since kal draws a line betweem those that matter and those that don't, I'm curious to learn which leaders he sorts into which category.

Why is the Nicaraguan president here? There are more important leaders out there: For example: Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, the 2 people at the leading positions of China. And the leaders of Japan (Shinzo Abe) and Brazil (Dilma Rousseff) and Vatican (Franciscus).

Khomeini and Khameini are different people? I would have never guessed that. They both have been leaders of Iran, both wear a certain kind of white beard and black hat, and their names are practically the same.

It sometimes annoys me that names are spelled differently in different languages. It makes sense though, Yeltsin is a phonetical transcript of the cyrillic, so that's why the Dutch say Jeltsin.

Despite all the people discussing who should or should not be on this list, I find it interesting to see which leaders come across as important through the influence of media in a country. We never hear about Nicaragua or Mexico, but it makes sense that these countries play a bigger role in US media.

l agree with the other comments that instead of dictator you should put their oficial title. These leaders might be considered dictators, but that is not the title they rule by.

Mugabe's years are counted from when he first came to power, which was in 1980. The change in 1987 was that instead of the power resting in the Prime Minister, with the President as a ceremonial role, the power now rested in the office of the executive president, and Mugabe took that role. If you could change that, I would appreciate that.

The quiz asks for the leader, not specifically for the president or PM. If I'm nost mistaken Raúl Castro's position as First Secretary of the Communist Party makes him the de facto leader of the country. Not that you even need to have the highest official position to be the actual leader, see Deng Xiaoping.

Yes, and I suppose you believe that Vyacheslav Molotov was the leader of the Soviet Union during the 1930s, not Stalin.

Needs updated, Netanyahu is no longer Israeli PM, Iran recently held Presidential elections and will have a new President soon, if not already. Additionally, Australia had two PM’s in 2018, so you should probably allow both as type ins, unless you want to be specific on which one you want.

We could change another in a few days (if the current PM is elected as President of the Republic). More in general, the PM in Italy is weak by design.

But Ardern personally is disproportionately consequential on the world stage, simply because she's so competent and charismatic.

I'd be interested to examine the politics of a place like New Zealand and see how they compare to my own country's (the US). Surely it's not as chaotic as here, but I feel like Americans have such a starry-eyed view of Kiwis. I wonder whether there is any degree of the mudslinging and general chicanery that overwhelms US politics down there. It feels like it's endemic to politics anywhere. Yet New Zealand seems to have things figured out...

While I'd say the US, is worse, it's a matter of degrees. Any democratic polity will see a degree of partisan mudslinging.

Could maybe relax the spelling on Khamenei a bit. I tried it a hundred different ways and never got it. There's nothing more frustrating than knowing the answer and not being able to get it. I could have sworn it was usually spelled "Khomeini", but it turns out that that was the preferred spelling for Ruhollah Khomeini (pronounced /xɒˈmeɪni/), compared to Khamenei being pronounced xɒːmeneˈʔiː. That massive difference in pronunciation certainly warrants a distinction in spelling as well, right?

I understand this is not an all inclusive quiz. But Liz Truss technically should work because under the answer "2022 -" she technically fits. Granted it probably should be written as:
