Rulers
The line of head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norodom Sihanouk | 1976 – 1976 | under a year | resigned or stood down, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |
| Khieu Samphan | 1976 – 1979 | 3 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1976 – 1979. Only 3 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of head of government, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
| Penn Nouth | 1976 – 1976 |
| Khieu Samphan | 1976 – 1976 |
| Nuon Chea | 1976 – 1976 |
| Pol Pot | 1976 – 1979 |

What happened within it, by century

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 1 cause the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
