      In case you wondered about this grey spot: One head of state is the french president elected by the french people, the other one the bishop of Urgell appointed by the bishop of Rome.

      ‚head of state‘ is misleading.
      In belgium for example the king is just a symbol, and the prime minister which is the decision maker, is elected by vote.

      Germany is a bit more complicated. It’s largely members of the legislative, yes, but the states also send „notable persons“ into a special „electoral body“.

      That is a bit misleading, because „Head of State“ means very different things in different country. e.g. In UK it’s a king, which has no political power. And in Turkey it’s a president which has a lot of political power.

      Most wonky division of Turkey I’ve seen in my life. And I’ve seen many….

      Just throwing it out there that … in one of the last three elections Putin actually got more than 100% of available votes in a region. Even his usualy average of ~87% is, when you think about it, hilariously absurd.

      The issue with this map is, that it is designed after what each country claims their system is. I mean, you can choose a head of state by popular vote, but if there is only one to choose from and he may even select his successor, then you have a system that technically elects the person by vote while it is truthfully inherited.

      Why is a huge part of Turkey missing? If the visible parts are considered Europe, why remove that part specifically?

      Too much bs here, monarcs doesn`t rule anylonger, just does parades

      Ironically the countries where the head of state inherits their title undemocratically are generally more democratic than those where the head of state is elected democratically.

      Hi, Im from Portugal and I just came back home from voting for the presidential elections. I have to say though our president doesnt have executive power and is not the head of government. He technically appoints the prime minister, but he appoints the leader of whatever party won the legislative elections and/or has support from the parliament. 
      So while we do vote directly for our president, his powers are not extensive (the most relevant power he holds is dissolving parliament). Our prime minister is appointed by the president after the legislative elections and he needs to have parliamentary support.
