To continue this lesson on the forms of government in the world we must talk about the republics. This form of government is in which the head of state is not a king, but the leader of the nation is a elected political figure in a certain way and who does not own the title personally.

Not all republics are the same, and may vary to a greater or lesser extent for many different reasons, and Therefore, to better understand this type of government, which is currently the most common, we must list its varieties.

Semi-presidential republics

These types of republics are the made up of a president and a prime minister, there is a division of the power of the head of government between the two politicians and in which, in general, both have a similar relevance without one being more important than the other. Some examples of this form of government are the nations of West Africa, France, Portugal, and parts of Eastern Europe.

In this system the prime minister has both the executive power and he is the main representative of the legislature, so the president of the republic either does not exist or has functions of little relevance, being therefore the prime minister who has almost all the importance in the management. This form of government is found in much of Western and Southern Europe, in some East African nations, and in South Asia.

There may be different slopes within the nation or be a party led by a single person, These being some of the details that differentiate dictatorships from democracies with a single match.
