* In ''[[Harry Potter]] and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the [[Deathly Hallows]]'' Voldemort manages to {{spoiler|take control over the Ministry of Magic and all of wizarding England by placing Imperius Curses over some officials, murdering others, and placing Death Eaters and sympathizers of his cause in positions of power}}. This allows him to (without much resistance, thanks to the previous Ministers) {{spoiler|enact what would end up as a pureblood regime.}} However, Voldemort never seems interested in becoming Minister of Magic himself.
** There were several attempts at justification in-story, mostly of the "Direct Parallels To Nazi Germany" variety. Voldemort and his most infamous Death Eaters {{spoiler|stayed in the shadows, so mostly semi-legit followers/not-necessarily-enemies like Umbridge were the public face of the DE government; the general wizarding public were lied to as to what was really being done to half-bloods and muggle-borns, and those that did suspect the truth were either too scared to act (remembering Voldemort at his height, 20 years earlier) or were otherwise neutralized (like they attempted to do with the Weasleys).}}
* In the ''[[Left Behind]]'' series, Nicolae Carpathia starts out as the president of Romania, and moves on to become Secretary-General of the UN (later called the Supreme Potentate of the Global Community). He's [[the Antichrist]].

** Debateable, as its possible Canada really had become an evil nation even worse than Nazi Germany in this alternate future.
* In the novel ''[[A Girl Who Brought Down the World]]'', Christopher Winnifred Vega <ref>a [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[Sonichu|Christian Weston Chandler]]</ref> is made President of the US thanks to a massive conspiracy. In due time, he ravages the entire world in an attempt to bring in a girl he had fallen in love with years ago who had no interest in him.
* In ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' lore, Dr. Bright acted as President of the United States by posing as [[George W. Bush]] after the latter was killed in a hunting accident; this was primarily done to foil the schemes of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4444 SCP-4444], an interdimensional being who had taken possession of Al Gore. While this was obviously done out of necessity (much like anything the Foundation does), it resulted in [[Noodle Incident| (for unspecified reasons)]] Bright being forbidden from ''ever'' running for public office (or installing himself as ''any'' sort of Head of State) again, as that is now on the [[Long List]] of things he is not allowed to do.
