Youth state leaders

In many countries around Southaria and Andoladia, it is common practice to elect, appoint, and/or promote someone whose age lies below adulthood; ideally under 20 and most commonly under 18; to a high level position such as the head of state. This practice, known in many countries as youth state leaders, is told to give and show youth "satisfying leadership skills", while also giving their demographic a way to be heard. However, as the world moved into the 21st century, the practice has primarily fallen out of use, with several nations beginning to pass laws regarding age limits, effectively halting the existence of youth state leaders.
The most recent youth state leaders have were either elected and/or appointed in three past consecutive years; Jayden Albert of Fortland in 2016, Jonas Albert of Jonathia in 2017, and Sasha Sturm of Lyvena in 2018.
