I was wondering if in your country, there are leaders of foreign countries that basically everyone knows about. Either because of geographic proximity, history, relationships, whatever.
Also which ones that we might think your compatriots would mostly know, but that are largely unknown.
For example, we can assume Donald Trump is a household name around the world - but is that really as true as we think?
Canadians like to think our current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau enjoys name recognition worldwide. I am sure that may be partly true, but I have no idea to what degree.
Please feel free to distinguish between the country and the person.
For example - Silvio Berlusconi is globally fairly well-known as a person, but generally speaking the leader of Italy is not well-known around the planet.
The PMs of NZ and the UK would not be fairly widely known in Australia?
The UK maybe, though UK politics gets no where near the media coverage of the three listed. NZ politics gets little coverage in Australia. They have a new PM with using google all I know is she's a women who is also pregnant.

Out of interest i asked my wife, a Korean immigrant who's been living in Australia for 15 years who the PM of the UK was, all I got was a blank stare.
I would expect everyone to know Assad, Netanyahu, Rouhani, Omar al-Bashir, Duterte, Maduro, Angela Merkel, Erdogan, and Xi Jinping for various reasons.
