| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Jun 13 08:20PM +0200 I was adviced in mail that I shold clarify this question: > time of the split/merger qualifies only if he/she did not become > head of state of any of the new states created after at least one > year after the split/merge. I will do so by providing a number of examples. If you have entered an answer, you are free to change your answer after this clarification. Assume two countries A and B. X is head of state A and Y is head of state B. A and B merge to form a new state C (which may not be official at the time, but generally in history C is said to have been formed at the time of the merger). Assume that X becomes the head of state of C and 364 days later, Y succeedes X on that position. In this example, neither X nor Y is a correct answer. Assume instead that Y succeeds X on the 365th day of the merger. Y is now correct answer, unless there was a Feb 29th in between. Would X later re-enter in the position as the head of state of C, that would also be a correct answer. Assume now instead that A remains A, that is B is conquered or absorbed into A. In this case, X can never be a correct answer, but Y would be a correct answer on the same condition as above. Assume now a country C which splits in A and B. X is the head of state C. If X later became head of state of A or B, X is a valid answer, if X took that position at least 365 days after the split (or 366 days for leap years). If C remains C, and A simply secedes from C, X is only a valid answer, if X became head of state of A at least 365 days later. |
