Sometimes the head of government is in charge of making legislation, while the head of state is in charge of enforcing it. Heads of state can control militaries, appoint ministers/secretaries, but can’t actually go against the policy wishes of the government.
Where is it done that way? Parliamentary republics place enforcing of legislation, appointing ministers, controlling militaries, etc in the Prime Minister’s lap, no? They are heads of state in all but name.
I think North Korea? Kim’s the head of state and controls the military, but there’s this other dude who’s the prime minister. Kim’s also the party chairman though, so he has more power than just a head of state. Their system gets even more confusing though, because they actually have two governments that switch power every now and then.
Edit: nvm I got it backwards. The prime minister is the executive, but he’s only a third of the executive, and shares power with the head of state and commander in chief, neither of which are apparently Kim? I need to find an actual book on North Korea because wikipedia makes this sound like the most convoluted system ever.
