Maximillien George Derolo Hewitt (born 3 June 1802) is an Naspal politician and independence leader. He was the first Prime Minister of Naspal and leader of the Naspal Liberation Army Political Wing. He was elected in 1857 with no party and is the only Prime Minister in Naspal to ever be an independent.

He is the youngest child of military leader Eamon Hewitt who was one of the 12 people on the NLA Military Operations Council. Max never served in the army as he was appointed as political leader of the NLA Political Wing. He was widely regarded as the most successful politician in Naspals history. He discovered a talent for public speaking and debate and was able to pass many laws in the Naspal Homerule Government.

When Britain and Naspal began to conflict over independence Hewitt openly expressed his support of the rebellion. He had passed the Free Speech Bill which allowed anyone to talk about "acts of treason". He was attempted to be arrested for political espionage and the Prime Minister of the UK officially dismissed him and revoked his seat in Naspal House of Commons. He went on to set up his own legislature called the House of Deputies.

When a truce was called Hewitt led the discussions and forged a treaty for independence. He then began organising a government and called the first ever Naspal election. He won all votes in his constituency and had to formally appoint other members of parliament to make up 4 more of the seats. He chose not to be politically aligned with any party and was seen as a independent politician.

He only served in the post for 3 years before resigning. Many political parties were created and rivalries formed. The independent Prime Minister was very hard to support and soon Hewitt was losing the support of his House. Niko Castenada stated that they create the Naspal Liberal Party because Naspal was built on liberal values. He said "my time here is done I will not go against my own brothers in the name of power". He revoked his seat and his deputy Niko Castenada took over as PM.
