I am actually a normie, actually.

North America: Maurice Bishop
South America: Evo Morales
Western Europe/NATO: Reccep Tayyip Erdogan
Eastern Europe/former USSR: Alexander Lukashenko
Middle East/North Africa: Abdul Ghani Baradar
Sub-Saharan Africa: Tie between Nelson Mandela and Thomas Sankara
East Asia: Mao Zedong
South/SE Asia: Tie between Ho Chi Minh and Lee Kuan Yew
Oceania/Pacific: Frank Bainimarama

I had to struggle to think of any Western European leader I had anything good to say about. I found a loophole to list the least objectionable.
