** In ''[[The Stand]]'', the President is also never named.
* In an unusual case, [[Tom Clancy]]'s novel ''Executive Orders'' does not refer to the President of Iraq by name when he is assassinated. What little characterization there is is entirely in line with Saddam Hussein (who was still in power when the book was published). Noteworthy in that Saddam Hussein was one of the few heads of state who would probably have been referred to by name in normal conversation, and that the book also uses invented leaders for Iran, India, and Russia.
* In ''[[Angels and Demons|Angels & Demons]]'', the deceased [[The Pope|Pope]]'s name and nationality are never stated, although it's pretty obvious that he was a highly-fictionalized John Paul II (Incumbent at the time of its writing).
** The film adaptation names him "Pius XIII", from a brief glimpse of his ring before it's destroyed.
* The President during the time period that ''[[The Adventures of Fox Tayle]]'' takes place (late 2005 to early 2006, [[Series Hiatus|so far]]) is [[George W. Bush]]. Fox Tayle was created in a canceled government project and he escaped, and now the FBI is after him. His long-term goal is to talk to the president to try to get some personal rights and to stop being chased (so far, Bush has only been mentioned twice in the story).
