[Massalinie]

[viKING]

well, you are correckt about Norway.

just ask if you need more information... I guess.

~peace

[Barthelemy]

Anyone else?
I will be glad even if you add accents(you know aigu, grave, circonflexe, umlauts, etc.)

[Vernon]

Go to BBC and go through country profiles. All of this information is there. You are correct about Australia.

[Abramul]

United States is missing.

[Animunculi]

Estonia's president is Arnold Rüütel and prime minister Andrus Ansip(Juhan Parts recently resigned). I'm probably the only one from Estonia on these forums!

[Amrod]

You got the netherlands all correct.

[Cjad the Nord]

United States is missing.

That's because they're better than everyone else. The rest of that list is undeserving of being in it's presence.

Yes, I am "they".

[Amrod]

United States is missing.

That's because they're better than everyone else. The rest of that list is undeserving of being in it's presence.

Yes, I am "they".

Actually i thinkmhe left it out because its the other way around.

[Cjad the Nord]

United States is missing.

Yes, I am "they".

Actually i thinkmhe left it out because its the other way around.

*Drooling sarcasm*

[Barthelemy]

Sorry for US, most of information are from www.theodora.com - this is US site so they don't have US government

[cougar]

For Switzerland, you actually got outdated Information (from 2004). It's a little complicated to get an up-to-date picture, because here, the president of the executive changes every year. It's one of the seven members of our Federal Council. This year, the president is Samuel Schmid, vice president is Moritz Leuenberger. If you need to know more, I'd advice you to have a look at this page [url=http://www.admin.ch/ch/e/cf/index.html]here[/url]

For more information about our judiciary see [url=http://www.parlament.ch/e/homepage/pr-praesidenten.htm]here[/url]

[Graff]

UK is governed by Parliament (Parliamentary Democracy, then) the Queen is only a figurehead, and of no importance to anyone but tourists. Also, Scotland and Wales are partly governed by a regional assembly, in effect, a lower ranking parliament.

Graff.

[Theo]

I can just correct the diacritics for Czech Republic. Well I could, if I had a Czech keyboard here
Do you know the two czech diacritical signs? I will use ` instead of "c^a`rka" and ^ instead of "ha`c^ek".
Than the name of our Republic would be:
C^eska` Republika
and presidents name:
Va`clav Klaus.
In case you do not know the signs, just turn ` around x-axis and ^ around y-axis and place them above preceeding letter and not after.

Edit:
Well, Slovakia:
Slovenska` Republika
Ivan Gas^parovic^
Mikula`s^ Dzurinda

[Xui'al]

Canada seems to be right. Really, our type of governemt is some long six worded thing that I cannot remember, but what you have should do just fine.

[cougar]

Ah, I just noticed that in Spanish, Spain would be written: España, and the president would be José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero

[Barthelemy]

Is that true that the new prime minister of Czech Republic is JIRZI PAROUBEK, I read that somewere..

[Theo]

Well, I do not watch recent happenings in my country, but the chair under Stanislav Gross was VERY HOT! Jir^i` Paroubek is the one who should replace him, but I do not know if he already did so. It is more then probable, but better check it...
