Briefly stated, Germany is under a parliamentary type system, where a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. However, there is also a president who serves as a symbolic head of state in some figurehead capacity.\n\nNew Zealand is a Constitutional monarchy, in which Queen Elizabeth II serves as head of state over an independent government. In each Realm, she acts as the monarch of that state, and is titled accordingly - for example, Queen of New Zealand. The Queen appoints a Governor-General to each country other than the United Kingdom to act as her representative. The prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature.\n\np.s. You can find much more detailed information at the sites listed below; I just hate to copy and paste, and also don't know exactly what kind of an answer or how in-depth of an answer you are looking for.

She is the head of state of more than 70 different countries around the world.  Quite honestly, she is the most powerful person on the planet.  The commonwealth of Great Britain means that the Queen is the top official of countries like England, Scotland, Australia, even India.  If she so wanted, she could dissolve every single government she is the head of and replace the leaders with a person of her choosing.  This happened in Australia in the 1970's when the Governor General, a subordinate to the queen dissolved parliament.  She wouldn't of course, but she could, and that's what's scary about countries still flying under the monarchy.\n\nMore typically, she's the repersenative for gifts from other countries, represents England at formal ceremonies, bestows the status of knight (sir), etc.

It depends what their job description is.\n\nSome help manage an MPs time, sort out meetings etc.\n\nOthers help draft new proposals, private members bills or speeches.\n\nSome work for local authorities, councils and the like doing day-to-day administrative jobs.

The king or queen of Spain (rey de España or reina de de España) is the head of state and the commander-in-chief of the Royal Armed Forces. The monarch's power is mainly symbolic, because all royal acts must be approved by either the Prime Minister of Spain or the President of the Congress of Deputies to be valid

At the moment it is a democracy/constitutional monarchy, where the queen is the head of state but does not wield any power.\n\nPreviously Britain has been ruled by an absolute monarchy within a feudal system as well as having Oliver Cromwell, who, I guess, would be described as a president at a time when representational democracy did not really happen (1641?)

The Vice President has official duties, and he has unofficial duties. The official duties are spelled out in the Constitution.\n\nThe Vice President is the presiding officer of the Senate, though he may designate this duty to the President Pro Temp (ie-the senior Senator of the majority party), where he may cast a vote only if the tally is tied; he also is the replacement for the President if there is death or incapacitation.\n\nSince the 1970's, for various reasons, the Vice President has taken on a number of unofficial duties at the discretion of the President as a sort of utility Cabinet Member without portfolio. For instance, VP Mondale was used very often to maintain liaison with our Euopean allies, VP Bush spent a lot of time negotiating for the President in Central and South America, VP Quayle was head of the Council on Competitiveness which tried to discover means for American companies to improve profitability within the framework of government regulation, VP Gore was in charge of Reinventing Government, and VP Cheney led an Energy Task Force.\n\nIn addition to these, there are also a large number of other, semi-official tasks that the Vice President always seems to get saddled with, such as attending the funerals of heads of state that we didn't really like, throwing out the first pitch for baseball teams that no one cares if they win, and judging pie eating contests for flavors that only our grandmothers still like. (the last part was a joke so please don't take this as an attack on Vice President Cheney).
