...however, the Parliamentary form is far superior than the models that most European nations are built on.

Most European nations do have a parliamentary form of government. Though republics w/ a parl. sys., the two notable exceptions would be France and Russia. They're semi-presidential; i.e. parliamentary-presidential but their respective presidents have considerable executive powers. Russian president even has the power to dissolve the Parliament at his own discretion.

Presidents in other Euro countries have a largely ceremonial post (i.e. representing the state internationally, receiving visiting dignitaries, cutting the ribbon, etc.).

Isn't France on its 19th Republic? :) The fact France was built on the socialist blood letting of Danton and others, I am not confident that France is a free nation in any sense. Because Europe nations constantly rule under coalition I got the idea they were more proportional representation style governments.
