===Parliamentary republics===

{{see also|Parliamentary system|Parliamentary republic}}
The [[parliamentary republic]], is a parliamentary system in which the presidency is largely ceremonial with either ''[[de facto]]'' or no significant executive authority (such as the [[president of Austria]]) or ''[[de jure]]'' no significant executive power (such as the [[president of Ireland]]), and the executive powers rests with the [[Prime Minister|prime minister]] who automatically assumes the post as head of a majority party or coalition, but takes oath of office administered by the president. However, the president is head of the civil service, commander in chief of the armed forces and in some cases can dissolve parliament. Countries using this system include [[Austria]], [[Armenia]], [[Albania]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Hungary]], [[Iceland]], [[India]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], [[Israel]], [[Italy]],<ref>But presidential moral suasion is increasingly confirming that the "neutral powers", in this country, often find in the head of state the best defender from executive interference: {{cite journal|last1=Buonomo|first1=Giampiero|title=Autorità indipendenti e sistema costituzionale|journal=L'Ago e Il Filo|date=2014|url=https://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89422474|access-date=12 April 2016|archive-date=24 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324160801/https://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89422474|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Malta]], [[Pakistan]], and [[Singapore]].

A variation of the [[parliamentary republic]] is a system with an [[executive president]] in which the president is the head of state and the government but unlike a [[presidential system]], is elected by and accountable to a parliament, and referred to as president. Countries using this system include [[Botswana]], [[Nauru]] and [[South Africa]].
