It's a parliamentary democracy where the president is a figurehead who can veto constitutional amendments.
The prime minister hols the power, but must submit bills to the parliament, where a vote is taken to accept or deny the bill. Simple majority on most issues, but I think it's 2/3 for constitutional stuff.
Everyone is elected and the parliament made up from regional representatives just like th US house.
There is no Senate.
Men and women are both eligible to vote, and to hold office.
There is no discrimination, according to the constitution, based on the various differences between the citizens: sex, color, creed, etc.
There is a problem with term limits.
The military guarantees the secular nature of the republic.
The military is vocal about its opinions, but is also reserved enough not to take center stage unless absolutely necessary.
The terror situation has led to the creation of security courts which operate in addition to the other regular courts. Security courts have two civilian and one military judge sitting.
How's that?
