Government

Hey fellow adventurers! Today I want to talk about the government of Vatican City since, like its economy, it’s so unique. I hope I’m not losing you guys since I normally talk about more fun things, but I genuinely find the Holy See and Vatican City interesting.  Anyhow, onto the topic!

Vatican City has an absolute theocratic elective monarchy. It appears that it is one of seventeen countries that have an elective monarchy. For those of you who don’t know, that means the head of the Catholic Church (the Pope) exercises the judicial, legislative, and executive power over Vatican City. In comparison, the United States distributes those roles amongst three branches:

  • The judiciary is the system of courts that interprets the law and ensures that it’s being upheld, and resolves disputes. Those in the Judicial Branch are chosen by the president and confirmed by the senate.
  • The Legislative Branch has the sole authority to enact legislation and declare war, and the right to confirm or reject many Presidential appointments. This branch consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which together form the United States Congress.
  • The Executive Branch is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress, and appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The President exercise power of the Executive Branch. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise.

But in a monarchy, one person (in this case: The Pope) oversees all of these responsibilities. Unlike most monarchies however, the Pope is elected. The cardinals who are under the age of eighty vote for the next Pope in the case that the previous Pope dies or resigns. And as I mentioned before, a theocracy is a type of government where the source of their authority comes from a deity. For the Pope, it’s God.

It is the Pope’s responsibility to represent Vatican City and manage relations with foreign nations. The Pope, assisted by a Secretary General and a Deputy Secretary General, also exercises executive power over the Governorate. The Governorate is a group of departments, divided into administrations and central offices. These offices include:

  • State Accounting Administration
  • General Services Administration
  • Security and Civil Defense Services Department
  • Department of Health and Hygiene
  • Museums Administration
  • Department of Technical Services
  • Department of Telecommunications
  • Department of Economic Services
  • Department of Pontifical Villas
  • Judicial Office
  • Personnel Office
  • Registry and Notary Office
  • Philatelic and Numismatic Office
  • Computer Systems Office
  • State Archive
  • Pilgrim and Tourist Office
  • Worker’s Security and Health Service

If you’re interested, and want to learn more, I highly recommend you visit the official site of Vatican City: http://www.vaticanstate.va/content/vaticanstate/en/stato-e-governo.html. There’s a lot of good information there!

Well that’s all for this post! Thank you so much for reading! And as always, until our next adventure!

  24. 350€ – 400€ erhältlich. Unsere Meinung dazu: Ein sehr guter Preis für
    einen sehr guten Saugroboter! Für einen angemessenen Preis erhält
    man also ein ausgereiftes Produkt auf dem (nahezu) neusten Stand der Saugroboter-Technik.

    Der Saugroboter navigiert zuverlässig mit LDS Laser-Navigation durch alle Räume, erstellt digitale Karten der Wohnung/Räume (mehrere Karten speicherbar), lässt
    sich zuverlässig über die App steuern und bringt eine sehr
    gute Saugleistung mit. Die Saugleistung ist umso mehr auf Hartböden und kurzen Teppichen überzeugend, so holt er sogar Tierhaare
    zuverlässig aus kurzen Teppichen. Natürlich darf man deren Wischfunktion keine Wunder erwarten, zum entfernen von Staub und leichten Verschmutzungen taugt sie absolut.
    Die Wischfunktion funktioniert bei dieser Version ebenfalls hervorragend und erst recht gleichmäßig.
    Natürlich bietet der sehr günstige Dreame nicht alle Komfortfunktionen, welche teurere Saugroboter bieten. Bei diesem Staubsauger-Roboter haben wir gewissermaßen tadellos und können weiterhin eine klare Empfehlung aussprechen. So lassen sich z.B.

  25. Sie haben ihren eigenen Pool. Unter Corona ist das verboten. Die
    Baustelle liegt auf Eis. Den kompletten Maßnahmenkatalog
    des Tourismusministeriums scheint noch keiner gesehen aufgeschlossen. Yesim Yalcin ist Ärztin in Antalya und macht manche Tage mit ihrem Bruder
    und seiner Frau hier Urlaub. Das Hotel bleibe diese Saison es empfiehlt sich zu.
    Normalerweise wird dann war’s das des Fastenmonats mit Familie und Freunden gefeiert.
    Nicht nur Sevki Erdogan hofft, dass viele Einschränkungen Anfang Juni
    fallen. Bis Mitte Juni warnt die Bundesregierung allerdings
    alle Deutschen, ins Ausland zu reisen. Um deutsche Urlauber trotz Corona wieder in die Türkei zu locken,
    holt die Regierung in Ankara den TÜV ins Boot. Stand jetzt sind seine Hotelzimmer alle leer, nur ein paar der luxuriösen Villen sind belegt.
    Ein Hotelzimmer hätte sie allerdings nicht genommen. Die dürfen im Moment allerdings verstauben.
    Ferienhäuser werden diese Saison wohl insgesamt mehr gefragt sein. Schwimmen und Spazieren am Meer ist verboten. Die Türkei will, dass sie das so weit wie den Sommerferien aufhebt.
    Der Küstenort Kas in der Türkei im Oktober 2019 – damals
    war die Welt noch frei von Corona. Bad monadisch der Zimmer begutachtet.
    Im kleinen Boutique-Hotel fragen umso mehr Merih Ciraks Stammgäste,
    wann sie diese Saison aufmacht. Der Hotelchef kann das in Rätseln sprechen “Es ist einige Entscheidungen, die führt zu nichts”, sagt er.
    Ihr Vater bleibt dagegen dabei: Urlaub mit Corona
    mache keinen Spaß und sei gefährlich. Sicher ist das aber nicht.
