===Semi-presidential republics===
A second system is the semi-presidential system. In this system, as in the parliamentary system, there are both a president and a prime minister (or a similar position); but unlike the parliamentary system, the president may have significant day-to-day power. This is similar in respects to many monarchies on EarthMC, in which there is a still-powerful monarch and an appointed or elected head of government headed by a Prime Minister or another title. However, under this system, the head of state is an elected president who roots its legitimacy within the democratic system.

To the knowledge of this article there are no current semi-presidential republics on EarthMC, however if this is no longer true, please be welcome to edit this article and add such offices. On Terra Nova, the [[President of the Evergreen Republic]] operated in a semi-presidential system as the head of state.

=== Parliamentary republics ===
=== Parliamentary republics ===
The parliamentary republic is a parliamentary system in which the presidency is largely ceremonial with either ''de facto'' ''or de jure'' no significant executive authority or power, and the executive powers rests with the prime minister or other title of the head of government who automatically assumes the post via election or confidence of the legislature; but is often formally appointed by the President. However, the president is often 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, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malta, Pakistan, and Singapore. A president within a parliamentary republic is more likely to be indirectly elected, whether it be via parliament or another body, and may often serve longer terms than executive presidents.

While being very common in real life, especially in Europe and the Indian sub-continent, it is a lot scarcer to find on EarthMC, with many parliamentary systems operating under a monarchy, and many republics opting for a strong presidency often found in presidential systems (This might also have something to do with a lopsided amount of EMC players being Americans). A president within a parliamentary republic is more likely to be indirectly elected, whether it be via parliament or another body, and may often serve longer terms than executive presidents.

=== Constitutional monarchies ===
Some countries that have a monarch as a head of state who serves as effectively the leader of the nation, while also having a President as an elected head of government who heads the executive branch. The power of the monarch in these models often varies greatly, from a ceremonial role to a more prominent one; however in this type of system, the title of President is used in a way that in other systems could be referred to as a Prime Minister; however often lacking the requirement for parliamentary confidence.
