Now I am veering towards the plumbing barbarian's opinion. I refuse to recognise nationhood by virtue (or vice) of having an elected Chief Minister. A Prince by all means; a Margrave even, if one has a March; An Arch or Grand Duke, if one has the architecture or a pretty big Duchy to go with it; A Baron, if his domain is licensed. But a greasy-pole-climber, never.

Were that to be the standard practice then welcome to the Grand ChiefMinistery of West Burgerpong. Guess who has just been elected as Chief Minister?
