== Systems of Governance ==
=== Presidential / Separated republics ===
These are systems in which a [[president]] is the active head of the [[executive branch]] of government and is elected and remains in office independently of the [[legislature]]. The following list includes democratic and non-democratic states:

==== Full presidential systems ====

In full presidential systems, the president is both head of state and head of government.  There is no prime minister.

==== Semi-presidential systems ====
In semi-presidential systems, there is usually both a president and a prime minister.  In such systems, the President has genuine executive authority, unlike in a parliamentary republic, but some of the role of a head of government is exercised by the prime minister, who is also head of the [[legislature]].

=== Parliamentary republics ===
A [[Parliamentary republic]] is a system in which a [[prime minister]] is the active head of the [[executive branch]] of government and also leader of the [[legislature]]. The Presidents degree of executive power may range from being reasonably significant (eg. Poland) to little or none at all (eg. Ireland). Where the President holds little executive power, their function is primarily that of a symbolic [[figurehead (political)|figurehead]].

*[[San Marino]] <ref>Collective presidency (2 captains-regents). Captains-regents are both Head of State and Government simultaneously.</ref>




=== Constitutional monarchies ===
Systems in which a [[prime minister]] is the active head of the [[executive branch]] of government and also leader of the [[legislature]]. The [[head of state]] is a [[constitutional monarch]] who only exercises his or her powers with the consent of the government, the people or their representatives.

==== Commonwealth realms ====
[[Constitutional monarchies]], in which [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]] serves as head of state over an independent government. In each Realm, she acts as the monarch of that state, and is usually titled accordingly - for example, [[Queen of Australia]]. The Queen appoints a [[Governor-General]] to each country other than the United Kingdom to act as her representative. The [[prime minister]] is the active head of the [[executive branch]] of government and also leader of the [[legislature]].

 Semi-presidential systems 
In semi-presidential systems, there is usually both a president and a prime minister.  In such systems, the President has genuine executive authority, unlike in a parliamentary republic, but some of the role of a head of government is exercised by the prime minister, who is also head of the legislature.

 Parliamentary republics 
A Parliamentary republic is a system in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. The Presidents degree of executive power may range from being reasonably significant (eg. Poland) to little or none at all (eg. Ireland). Where the President holds little executive power, their function is primarily that of a symbolic figurehead.

Bangladesh In Bangladesh, a Caretaker government takes over for three months during parliamentary elections. The Caretaker government is headed by a Chief advisor (the last Chief Justice to retire), and a group of neutral, non-partisan advisors chosen from the civil society. During this time, the president has jurisdiction over the Ministry of defense and the Ministry of foreign affairs.

 Mixed Republican Systems

Switzerland There is neither a prime minister nor a president of Switzerland. The President of the Swiss Confederation is merely primus inter pares in the Swiss Federal Council, the seven-member executive council which constitutes the government as well as the head of state of Switzerland.
San Marino Collective presidency (2 captains-regents). Captains-regents are both Head of State and Government simultaneously.

 Constitutional monarchies 
Systems in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. The head of state is a constitutional monarch who only exercises his or her powers with the consent of the government, the people or their representatives.

 Commonwealth realms 
Constitutional monarchies, in which Queen Elizabeth II serves as head of state over an independent government. In each Realm, she acts as the monarch of that state, and is usually titled accordingly - for example, Queen of Australia. The Queen appoints a Governor-General to each country other than the United Kingdom to act as her representative. The prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature.
