Politics of Baltania

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Politics of Baltania are conducted on the basis of a unitary representative democratic republic, with the Presidency as the collective head of state and the Prime Minister as the head of government.

Legislative power is vested in both the Government and the unicameral Seimas. Judicial power is vested in judges appointed by the Presidency of Baltania and is independent of the executive and the legislature. The judiciary consists of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal as well as individual administrative courts. These powers were consolidated with the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Baltania on October 25, 1992. As a multi-party system, the Baltanian government is not dominated by a single political party, rather it is composed of a number of parties working together to form coalition governments. In 2021, the Economist Intelligence Unit rated Baltania as a "partly flawed democracy".
