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

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and
tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some content for your
blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested.

it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough
time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many
months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to
protect against hackers?
This information is invaluable. Where can I find out more?
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because
I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.
Unquestionably imagine that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the internet the easiest
factor to take into accout of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst people think about worries that they plainly do
not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing with
no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more.
Thank you
It’s amazing to visit this web site and reading the
views of all mates concerning this article, while I
am also eager of getting knowledge.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a
lot of completely unique content I’ve either
authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot
of it is popping it up all over the internet without my
agreement. Do you know any solutions to help protect against
content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate
it.
You need to take part in a contest for one of the greatest sites
on the net. I most certainly will recommend this web site!
