The world leaders list is a simple, yet effective list built by Twitter's verified accounts. Whenever the President, Prime Minister or Monarch of a country verifies an account to be a world leader, they get added to this list. It's a fabulous way to stay somewhat informed of the personalities of the people leading our world. Not only do you know it's really the leaders' verified accounts, you usually can rely on changes of government being reflected in the list fairly quickly. Too easy!
