Bhutan edit

Isn't Bhutan now a constitutional monarchy? The new king was intended to bring in the new form of government after a fashion like Thailand or other countries in the region.132.3.17.68 (talk) 13:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Kyrgyzstan edit

Since 2010 Kyrgyzstan is a parliamentary republic. --89.79.137.49 (talk) 17:24, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Portugal edit

Portugal should not be coloured in orange. It is a semi-presidential republic, not parliamentary. The president is not elected by parliament. Please, change the colour of the image to grey. 82.154.137.87 (talk) 00:47, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Attention that Portugal is not a parliamentary republic, but semi-presidential. The head of state, the President, has executive powers which are more than merely ceremonial. Has the power to dissolve the parliament, dismissing the Government and holding the power of veto. He is also elected by universal suffrage, and not by parliament like it happens in Germany and Italy. The Portuguese Constitution, despite preceding revisions, has maintained the nearly-the-same written text about President's powers. 82.154.137.87 (talk) 15:10, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Norway edit

Surely Norway is a constitutional monarchy, and should be shown in red? It certainly has a king - I've stood outside his palace and seen the royal guards. The Forms of Government page shows Norway as constitutional monarchy. TomH (talk) 22:21, 1 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Norway is a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected parliament. (In fact, this country ranks #1 on the Democracy Index.) Please change to red on this map! Desmond Ravenstone (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
