|Just_Matter first joined Columbia in October of 2017, and was elevated to nobility status with the title of Fürst under Grand Duke kdeeks. He would soon become an important component of Columbian government and production along with Fürst NeoTide_, the two eventually eclipsing kdeeks in importance to Columbia. His rise culminated in his victory of the first election for Chancellor of Columbia, an office which he filled until he and his Vice Chancellor NeoTide_ betrayed the nation, stole a significant portion of government resources, and fled South the begin Okashima, a country which would over time fill with enemies of Columbia.

|Haecceity_, later known as Haecceity_ The Great, was the Second Chancellor of Columbia. He joined the nation in November of 2017, and rose to the office of Foreign Minister under kdeeks' government. After the betrayal of Just_Matter and NeoTide_, Haecceity_ joined kdeeks, shadedoom, and several other popular Columbians to form the Franklin Royalist Party, a party which would nominate him and push him through the proceeding election. Haecceity_ was chosen for Chancellor because of his greater knowledge of CivClassics logistics and ability to bot than any other Columbian. His term as Chancellor saw a sharp increase in competence among the population, including the introduction of botting into the mainstream Columbian economy, the establishment of defensive capabilities, and the first discussion of creating a national vault. In the end, he resigned his position as a result of the great stress and problems it was causing him. It is generally agreed that Haecceity_ was responsible for the transition of Columbia from a newfriend nation to a more competent and capable state.

|The Chancellorship of Sirboss001 was rather short-lived. After the resignation of Haecceity_, he was rushed into office in a briefer-than-normal election, as he was the most competent remaining Columbian during a period of national decay. His term, although short, would see a fair amount of infrastructure improvement in Rotterdam, additions to national defensive capabilities, and the near-complete bankruptcy of the state. In the end, as most Columbians and resources left the country, Sirboss001 disbanded the nation.

|shadedoom, originally a founder of Columbia on Devoted 3.0, was the first Columbian to ever set foot on and claim Columbian soil in CivClassics 2.0. He was made into a Fürst very early on by kdeeks, and would later become somewhat inactive and be downgraded to a Margrave. He would continue to be inactive for some time, until the Chancellorship of Haecceity_, when he began dedicating more effort to the game. Eventually, once Sirboss001 disbanded the nation on CivClassics 2.0, shadedoom would lead a group of Columbians onto Expand to begin a short-lived iteration of Columbia there. On Expand, several new players were integrated into Columbian circles that would later follow the nucleus back to Columbia on CivClassics 2.0. Following an approximately two month hiatus, Columbia returned in midsummer, through an event known as the Columbian Homeward Migration, under the leadership of shadedoom. shadedoom, who would shortly thereafter win the election for Fourth Chancellor of Columbia, secured independence and recognition for the nation from all global powers. Under his leadership, the Charter of Columbia was reformed, internal organization was strengthened, and the economy began to boom on the back of his Vice Chancellor Hamboy_Jr's efforts in botting to produce EXP. Additionally, in the later portion of his first term, shadedoom began organizing construction efforts on a national vault, following in the footsteps of Haecceity_. Perhaps the biggest change was that, unlike in all previous administrations, drama and intrigue were kept low and seen as a destructive force that led to corruption and divisive relationships; Columbia became a lot more united and internally peaceful as a whole. With most aspects of Columbia improving under him like defense, organization, and production, two severe flaws still existed in his leadership: an inability to moderate international opinion, and a difficulty in promoting citizen activity. However, after appointing Haecceity_ as Foreign Minister once more, international opinion of Columbia somewhat improved. Ultimately, although often imperfect, shadedoom's Chancellorship is generally agreed to have been a very positive thing for the nation.

|After being elected on a platform of complete privatization and far-right policies aimed at "making Columbia great again," Chancellor Lemur realized that running and getting elected as a joke candidate was not good for the nation, resigned the position to ex-Vice Chancellor Hamboy_Jr, and renounced his citizenship to, in his view, preserve stability.

|Hamboy_Jr was one of the original founders of Columbia on Devoted 3.0, but had previously lived as a citizen of the Holy Jaded Empire on CivClassics 2.0. Upon the revival of Columbia during shadedoom's Chancellorship, Hamboy_Jr returned and quickly became the most significant grinder in the country, producing the vast majority of its EXP, as well as Vice Chancellor. Once shadedoom had reached the term limit set on his time as Fourth Chancellor of Columbia, Hamboy_Jr made his bid for the office on the basis of being the other most experienced and capable leader in the nation, but was narrowly beaten by the joke candidate lemuractionnews. However, lemuractionnews realized that Columbia needed a serious leader, and gave the office to Hamboy_Jr. He quickly set out to ramp up EXP and city infrastructure production, while most defensive and vault-related tasks remained the purview of shadedoom. Despite being a good grinder and leader, Hamboy_Jr became quite inactive during his second term. He was the second Columbian to ever reach the term limits of Chancellorship.

|During the hiatus of Columbia after the Chancellorship of Sirboss001, KnotNSA was appointed by Lusitania, who had annexed the area of Rotterdam, as Lord of the city. His Mayorship saw great infrastructure improvement by state builders such as Hamboy_Jr and Sirboss001. While KnotNSA's approach to the office was somewhat similar to Deuterian's in being relaxed and hands-off, more control over infrastructure by the national government would help lead to a beautiful, unified style.
