There are more than 200 countries in the world, and all have a head of state. Note that most countries separate the roles of head of state and political leader. The United States unifies these two roles in the President. In most countries, the head of state is a ceremonial title.

Here are some heads of state:

United States: George W. Bush (both head of state and the political leader)

Canada: The Governor General (currently Michaëlle Jean) acts as head of state on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II who is Queen of Canada and the formal head of state; the political leader is Stephen Harper as Prime Minister

United Kingdom: Queen Elizabeth II; the political leader is Gordon Brown as Prime Minister

Japan: Emperor Akihito; the political leader is Yasuo Fukuda as Prime Minister

Germany: Federal President Horst Köhler; the political leader is Angela Merkel as Chancellor

Andorra: two ceremonial heads of state are the Bishop of Urgel in Spain and the President of France; the political leader is Albert Pintat as Head of Government
