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!

  15. 230-V-Netz dienen lediglich der Veranschaulichung des jeweiligen Schaltschemas.
    Bitte bedenken Sie, dass Arbeiten und Installationen an der Stromversorgung ausschließlich dafür
    ausgebildeten Fachkräften vorgenommen werden sollten. Bei Beschäftigt sein mit der Elektroinstallation ist zudem immer sicherzustellen, dass die Sicherung ausgeschaltet oder herausgedreht wurde.
    Außerdem können in Bestandsgebäuden nicht den Vorschriften entsprechende Elektroinstallationen (Farbe der Leitungen, Verlegung der Leitungen usw.) hinreichen. Zudem muss die
    Belegung der Leitungen eindeutig definiert werden können. Zunächst gilt es, die Anschlussmöglichkeiten an einem Bewegungsmelder richtig zu interpretieren. Auch am späteren Verbraucher sind diese
    drei Anschlussmöglichkeiten gegeben: L, N und PE. Nicht zuletzt können auch Lichtschalter in die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders integriert werden. Wie
    Sie einen Bewegungsmelder zum Ausschalten schalten, zeigen wir in dem verlinkten Beitrag ausführlich.

    Auch die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders bzw. des Verbrauchers auf Dauerstrom zeigen wir hier ausführlich.

    In diesem Fall wird L vorm Bewegungsmelder ebenfalls durch einen Wippschalter geführt, dann aber zusätzlich direkt mit
    L des Verbrauchers verklemmt. Kurz umrissen: Vorm Bewegungsmelder
    wird L zusätzlich durch einen Wippschalter geführt und dann weiter
    zu L bzw. L2 am Bewegungsmelder. Eine weitere Möglichkeit
    ist es, eine Schaltung für mehrere Bewegungsmelder
    anzulegen. Natürlich können Sie die Schaltung eh vornehmen, dass
    Sie den Bewegungsmelder komplett ausschalten und den Verbraucher dennoch
    auf Dauerstrom schalten können. Dazu können Sie die Bewegungsmelder gereiht schalten. Beachten Sie bei dieser Schaltung jedoch,
    dass sich die Schaltzeiten beider Bewegungsmelder addieren können, wenn Bewegungen innerhalb beider Überwachungsbereiche erfolgen.

  25. Welche SEO-Tools nehmen wir, wo ist auch die Datenbasis gut?
    Damit beschäftigst du dich ja ganz gleich. Auf
    was greifen diese Tools eigentlich zurück? Liefern die brauchbare
    Ergebnisse und, ja, können wir da systematisch Keywords für recherchieren und aufarbeiten? Ist
    sehr wichtig bei der Tool-Auswahl, weil die Tools eine unterschiedliche Datenbasis haben,
    für den Fall der Fälle, in welchen Ländern man ist, ne.
    F: Genau. Also alleine als Beispiel jetzt: Welchen Markt möchte ich bespielen? Und das ist natürlich schwierig zu unterscheiden und zu differenzieren und da eine Auswahl zu treffen. Und die
    Tools kosten halt auch Geld, ne, nun denn ist auch oft eine Scheu da, dafür erstmal ein Budget frei drin. Nicht ausbleiben Tools, die sind für den deutschen Raum total
    klasse, total super, aber viele Unternehmen sind halt international
    unterwegs und da braucht man andere Tools, die dann bessere Daten liefern. Also da
    ist viel Unsicherheit auch oft da, ja. Genau, das ist das eine.

    Man weiß auch noch ganz und gar unmöglich genau, was das Tool einem dann bringt.

    Aber aus diesen Keywords entwickelt sich dann ja auch
    eine Architektur für die Webseite, oder?

  26. Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords
    but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share.

  28. Wer die Rampe nur vorübergehend benötigt oder vor der Anschaffung gern unterschiedliche Rampentypen austesten möchte, kann sich bei verschiedenen Anbietern eine Rollstuhlrampe mieten. Gemäß Typ,
    Material und Größe der Rollstuhlrampe können die Preise stark variieren. Es lohnt sich, vorm Kauf bei verschiedenen Herstellern Kostenvoranschläge einzuholen und diese dann sorgfältig zu prüfen und zu vergleichen. Wer eine
    Rollstuhlrampe gebraucht kaufen möchte, sollte sicherstellen,
    dass die Maße der gebrauchten Rampe zu den Gegebenheiten der eigenen Situation passen.
    Ein Kostenvergleich ist auch dann sinnvoll, wenn man lediglich eine Rollstuhlrampe leihen möchte.
    Angebote finden sich vielfach auf Online-Portalen für private Kleinanzeigen. Allerdings besteht auf die Rampen von privaten Verkäufern keine Garantie mehr.
    Zudem ist das Risiko höher, beschädigte Ware zu erhalten. Zufolge Hersteller,
    Alter und Zustand der Rampe kann das Einsparungen von bis hälftig
    bedeuten. Die Kosten einer Rollstuhlrampe variieren nach Länge, Materialien und Zubehör, so einem Geländer.
    Kurze Rampen aus Aluminium, mit denen ein einsamer Stufe überwunden werden muss, gibt es ab circa 100 Euro vorhanden.
