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

Nur aus dringenden betrieblichen oder in der Person des Arbeitnehmers liegenden Gründen ist eine Übertragung des Urlaubs aufs nächste
Kalenderjahr statthaft; unterdies muss der Urlaub in den ersten drei Monaten des folgenden Kalenderjahrs gewährt und genommen werden. Kuren und Schonzeiten dürfen nicht auf den Urlaub angerechnet werden, soweit
ein Anspruch auf Entgeltfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall (Entgeltfortzahlung) besteht.
Während des Bestehens des Arbeitsverhältnisses gilt ein Abgeltungsverbot.
6. Vergütung: Urlaubsentgelt, Urlaubsgeld. Erkrankt ein Arbeitnehmer während
des Urlaubs, so werden die durch ärztliches Zeugnis nachgewiesenen Tage der Arbeitsunfähigkeit auf den Jahresurlaub nicht angerechnet.
Kann der Urlaub wegen Beendigung des Arbeitsverhältnisses
ganz oder teilweise nicht mehr gewährt werden, so ist er abzugelten.
Mit Ablauf des Übertragungszeitraums wird der Arbeitgeber von der Verpflichtung
zur Urlaubsgewährung frei, soweit er nicht die Unmöglichkeit der Urlaubsgewährung zu vertreten hat.
Hat der Arbeitnehmer im laufenden Urlaubsjahr nur einen Teilanspruch wegen nicht erfüllter Wartezeit,
so ist dieser Urlaub auf verlangen des Arbeitnehmers auf Gesamteindruck nächste Urlaubsjahr zu übertragen und hierbei Urlaub des folgenden Jahres zu gewähren.
First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I’d
like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how
you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!

Keep on posting!
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year
and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
