Notes
  1. The Office of the Minister of Presidency was assumed by the President of the Generalitat from 16 November 2015.
gollark: You've jumped immediately to "pretty high suicide rates → everyone is unhappy" and I think you've failed to consider other things.
gollark: Mortality due to other stuff is very low for young people, so I'm not sure what you'd expect.
gollark: Discounting hundreds of years of massive progress in many areas due to a somewhat bad statistic is uncool.
gollark: You are, again, missing the point.
gollark: That is a word, yes.
