Government type of a country depends on several factors, with the most important ones being the governance principles and the distribution of power laws.
Government type determines country ruler's title and how they are chosen. There are four possible types of transfer of power:
- Hereditary: an heir inherits the throne when the ruler dies.
- Dictatorial: leader of an interest group with the highest clout becomes the ruler when the previous ruler dies.
- Presidential elective: leader of the interest group with the highest clout becomes the ruler at the end of every election.
- Parliamentary elective: leader of the interest group in government with the highest clout is the ruler. Can change when the government is reformed.
