It is presently a disputed title between the Icelandic Commonwealth and the Republic of Illinois on Terra Aurora, with both claiming rightful succession of the North Sea Republic. The position of "Hoyenah" is one held by the leader of the [[North Sea Republic]].

A Hoyenah has been elected by the community every month since September 2017.
A Hoyenah has been elected by the community every month since September 2017. The name remained and was passed through several iterations of the nation among the different EMC servers. In late 2024, the North Sea Republic, who had the Hoyenah as their leader at that moment, collapsed. The Icelandic Commonwealth claimed succession and was recognized as the successor of the NSR, however soon thereafter the Republic of Illinois seceded, claiming true direct succession. Cascadia also claims succession, also this is mostly treated not seriously and without merit.
