i hope dead ones still count 
considering the german state fell over and was resounded after WWII I dont think hitler counts, but I chuckled
does naming one current and one from 150 years ago count? i can name Merkel and Bismarck
Only counts if it's a continuous nation structure. German Empire and FRG don't really count as the same
Do they have to be alive?
Yes AND active in their careers
I'm a stickler
active in their careers
Hm that's a little complex do you mean actively serving in government?
Can this be the comment under which all of us ignoramuses gather? I can't name 2 from anywhere outside my own country. Where's my (h/b/thimbo) crew at?
We promise to continue to bask in the light of all of you who can answer this question at all, let alone those of you answering with 10+ countries' politicians. Your knowledge of what is actually happening in the world is fucking impressive, you are cool as fuck, and we will strive to be as awesome as you someday.

So many where I can name the president/prime minister and nobody else, lmao.
if you mean currently living politicians, then probably only USA, UK, Brazil, and Russia. If dead ones count then China, Chile, Germany, and Italy
edit: almost was gonna say France but the nazi lady's name escapes me at the moment lol
Le Pen?
US, DPRK, uhhhhh that's honestly it lmao
Canada, US, UK, France, Brazil, China, Israel, Iran, Russia, Egypt - maybe that's it if the politicians have to be
Edit oh year Ukraine too
If we're going by "currently active in a political role", then 10. Mexico is not among them, somehow.
