What is another word for chief state?
Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈiːf stˈe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Chief state refers to the highest-ranking official in a government or country. However, this term can be replaced with several synonyms such as head of state, leader, ruler, president, monarch, and prime minister. Each of these terms refers to someone who occupies the highest position in a country, but they can differ in their systems of governance. For instance, a president is the head of state in a presidential system, while a prime minister serves as the head of government in a parliamentary system. Monarchs, on the other hand, reign over a kingdom or empire and possess varying degrees of power depending on their country's constitution or tradition.
