Legend

English (en): World's states coloured by form of government .
Assembly-independent republics in which the president or directory is the head of government and is elected by the legislature, but is independent of and not accountable to it.
Parliamentary constitutional monarchies in which the monarch does not personally exercise power (except perhaps reserve powers ).
Dual system constitutional monarchies in which the monarch personally exercises power (often alongside a weak parliament).
Countries in which constitutional provisions for government have been suspended (e.g. military juntas ).
Countries which do not fit any of the above systems (e.g. transitional governments).
Dependent territories and places without governments.
Note that several states constitutionally deemed to be multiparty republics are broadly described by outsiders as authoritarian states. This chart aims to represent
de jure
form of government, not
de facto
degree of democracy.
