The Premier of the Presidential Republic of Poplar Nerva was the head of state and Head of Government, and was elected by popular vote. There were 3 premiers in Poplar's history, comprised of only two separate individuals.

The Premier was not absolute, as they were confined to abiding by the Constitution. However, the Premier was still the single most powerful position in the nation.

History

The role of Premier was created by Premier Jack Esq. of Nerva, the founder of the nation. Being a Presidential Republic, Poplar Nerva is collectively managed by the Premier, however, they may delegate their powers to other Government Ministries. These delegation powers weren't expanded upon until 20 March 2021, however, when Premier Jack created the cabinet.

The Premier took a leading role in the dissolution of the nation, with Premier Jack announcing his plans to do so on 24 October 2022. The remaining active Representatives agreed in full, and the nation was dissolved the following day.

Powers

Although the Premier was not, in theory, absolute, their large sway and de facto lack of meaningful opposition meant that they were enable to embark upon effectively any policy they wished to. This was often contrary to what the Premier's party claimed to support.
