The Imperial Portrait Gallery
Good Afternoon Europeia, For over a year the Imperial Portrait Gallery has been out of date. I have decided to spend a bit of time at work today, since not much is going on to do HEM a solid and make the Gallery for him. The gallery ends with Aex's Presidency in April 2017, so we will begin there.
President Calvin Coolidge
50th President
55th Head of State
The Last Person to See the EBC Wire Alive
12 April 2017 - 14 May 2017
"Hello Europeia. It's me, your incredibly active, super high octane, and all-around present President, Calvin Coolidge. Over the last month, it has become increasingly apparent to both myself and the region at large that I have not been able to meet the demands of the Europeian Presidency. There are a number of reasons for this, mostly based on real life time constraints keeping me away from the region, when it needs its President the most. "

Only The Second Person to Ascend to the Presidency for the First Time via the Vice-Presidency
"Citizens of Europeia, I stand before you one month after my sudden introduction to this office, and can only say that I am amazed. I am amazed at the hard work that goes into making Europeia run on a daily basis. I am amazed at the ability of Europeians, new and old, to rise to challenges previously unforeseen. I am amazed at just how quickly 30 days can go by."

52nd President
57th Head of State
17 June 2017 - 26 August 2017
More than doubles the time of the next longest serving head of state
" I will go wherever my quest for community service takes me as I continue to have an undying loyalty to our region, its ideology, its values, and the members within. We are a region of stark exceptionalism in our institutions and their usage, and should be proud at what we have all developed. From the AM’s, to the newer members, to our old servicemen and women, we should be proud for the hand we have played in our creation and growth. We are what created Europeian exceptionalism."

President Cat
53rd President
58th Head of State
26 August 2017 - 2 September 2017
The Shortest Serving Head of State
"I deeply regret sharing the EAAC screenshots, and not making others in Europeia aware of the unfolding situation in KoGB. I know I’m not the best in Foreign Affairs and I made a really dumb decision. But I have learned a lesson, and although I never committed any illegality because as President I lead the EAAC, it has taught me to be careful who your friends are, careful who you trust, and most importantly to make sure you have a strong support group to help you through it."
-President Cat resigns following KoGB Scandal
President WritingLegend
54th President
59th Head of State
2 September 2017 - 3 November 2017
The Only President to Serve in Consecutive Terms Without Running for Re-Election
"This will, perhaps, be the last time I address the Republic in this esteemed office, or any elected office. Consider it a partial retirement, with a clause for appointed Cabinet positions where needed. If it is, these four-hundred and eighty days have truly been terrific and memorable. If not, so long until next time. The Presidency has been the highest honor in my NationStates career, and it has been beyond satisfying to lead our policy forth for two years. We may have hit bumps, we may have hit sharp turns, but we sure drove our esteemed region forthward. "
-President Writinglegend Bids Farewell For the Final Time
President Brunhilde
55th President

57th President
62nd Head of State
12 February 2018 - 24 March 2018
Expressed Concern about state of Presidency
"It was an honor to serve as always. It was hard work and it was exhausting, but it was worth it. When Rach resigned, it never crossed my mind to do anything else but step up. By that point in the term, I had already seen enough to realize that we needed to adapt. Our approaches to many things had become stagnant, and we were relying on the same people to keep things running time and time again. "
-Malashaan in his End of Term Speech
President HEM
58th President
63rd Head of State
24 March 2018 - 2 June 2018
Embarked on Ambitious Executive Reform
"Europeia has never had an era in her history where people have not had problems with it. In the past I have pined for what our region was like seven, eight years ago, but truthfully there has never been a golden era without some rust around the edges.I truly believe that we have the resources necessary for another golden age. We have sheer numbers that we could never have dreamed of in echelons past. We have an infrastructure of champions — systems and institutions that have stood the test of time. We are only missing one thing:You.We need your participation, your energy, your ideas."
-President HEM's Opening Address
President Deepest House
59th President
64th Head of State
2 June 2018 - 11 August 2018
Lead Europeia though an Exceptionally Slow Summer
"Serving as president has been a great honor. The region is full of wonderful people who contribute in myriad ways, and these people are the lifeblood of our community. It's important to recognize that we all do our parts for the region, and no matter how large our differences may seem, we are all united by a common love for Europeia. Whether your contribution is large or small, I want you to know that I personally value every contribution made by each and every citizen. "
