James Duncan (June 12, 1797 - August 11, 1859) was a 19th century Maximusian statesman, revolutionary, duelist, and the second President of Libertas Omnium Maximus, serving as the first vice-president beforehand. Though a lesser player in the Maximusian Civil War than his predecessor, Michael Chaucer, Duncan was instrumental in maintaining the logistical integrity of Maximusian forces throughout the conflict, serving as the chairman of the ad hoc (Maximusian) Central Planning and Logistics Committee from 1835 to 1837. As President, Duncan brokered many of the nation's most successful and enduring early trade agreements, though his efforts to bring Libertas Omnium Maximus fully into the folds of 19th century global trade were somewhat stymied by a Senate determined to focus more on setting domestic policy.
Following his presidency, Duncan considered running for Governor of Passarelle Province, but instead decided to formally retire from public life in 1850. In 1859, it was revealed that Duncan had been involved in affair with the wife of his long-time political rival, Arthur Blayne, between 1843 and 1847. Blayne subsequently challenged Duncan to a duel, where the second president and statesmen met his end.
