The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic with powers shared between the president, legislature and judiciary. Since 1948, the Constitution underwent five major revisions, each signifying a new South Korean republic. The current Sixth Republic began with the last major constitutional revision, in 1988.\n\nThe Head of State is the president, who is elected by direct popular vote for a single five-year term. In addition to being the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the president also has considerable executive powers. The president appoints the prime minister with approval of the National Assembly, as well as appointing and presiding over the State Council of chief ministers.\n\nThe South Korean legislature is the National Assembly, a unicameral body in which members serve a four-year term of office. This legislature currently has 299 seats, of which 243 are elected by regional vote. The remainder are distributed by proportional representation.\n\nThe South Korean judiciary is largely independent of the other two branches. The highest judiciary body is the Supreme Court, whose justices are appointed by the president with the consent of the National Assembly. In addition, the Constitutional Court oversees questions of constitutionality.\n\nThe main political parties in South Korea are the Uri Party, the Grand National Party (GNP), the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), and the Democratic Party (DP). The Uri Party was formed in late 2003 from a liberal faction of the DP (then the Millennium Democratic Party). The Uri Party gained a slim majority in the National Assembly in the April 2004 legislative elections, but lost that majority in subsequent by-elections. The conservative GNP and centrist DP form the dominant political opposition. The progressive DLP is aligned with labour unions and farmers' groups, and constitutes the left-wing opposition.

its like the U.S. in the fact that its a democracy but the president (who is voted into office) is only Head of State (does partys/makes the country look good). The prime minister is the Head of Government and is the leader of the majority in the Legislature.

In democracy we have the powers - legislative, executive and judicial. In parliamentary systems the parlament - the legislative, is the main one. it pravails over the power of the president. People vote and a parlament is formed. Then depending on the terms set in the constitution, it forms a cabinet - the executive power. So the parlament makes the law, the cabinet executes them and the judicial systems makes sure everything goes according to the constitution and the law. The prasident has less prerogatives and just a formal figure. Still his prerogatives depend on the constitution.\nThis type of system is believed to be the best, because ypou have more control and power is devided.

nobody really knows. but i hope in the near future. as far as i know, its presently ruled by a military junta and they are already planning to hold elections to finally construct a democratic government. But up until now, there hasn't been an election. There was one election where Nobel Peace prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi and her democratic party overwhelmingly won. but the junta just arrested her and cancelled the elections for a later date. We can only wait when the junta will finally give in to the demands of the world and its people.

Parliamentary government is a form of democracy found in many countries.\n\nIn a parliamentary government the head of government, often styled the Prime Minister or Premier, is the leader of the party or coalition of parties who is able to win a majority vote within the parliament. In such governments the Head of State can be either an hereditary Prince (as in the United Kingdom), a President elected directly by the people (as in France), or a President or other official elected by the Parliament (as in Italy).\n\nBecause the head of Government is chosen based on his or her ability to create and maintain a majority in the Parliament, it is possible for the head of Government to change without an election by the people.

In politics, a capital (also called capital city or political capital — although the latter phrase has an alternative meaning based on an alternative meaning of "capital") is the principal city or town associated with its government. It is almost always the city which physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of the seat of government and fixed by law. The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and the related term capitol refers to the building where government-business is chiefly conducted.\n\nSeats of government in major substate jurisdictions are usually called "capitals", but at lower administrative subdivisions, terms such as county town, county seat, or borough seat are also used.\n\nAs the focal point of power for the country or region, the capital naturally attracts the politically motivated and those whose skills are needed for efficient administration of government such as lawyers, journalists, and public policy researchers. Older capitals have often developed into prime economic, cultural, or intellectual centers, sometimes referred to as their country's primate city as well. Such is certainly the case with Paris and Buenos Aires among national capitals, and Irkutsk or Salt Lake City in their respective state or province. Such concentration may be controversial. The siting of Brasília in Brazil's heartland was done in order to bring progress to the interior of the country, since the old capital, Rio de Janeiro, along with entire Southeastern Brazil was already crowded. The government of South Korea announced in 2004 it would move its capital from Seoul to Yeongi-Gongju — even though the word Seoul itself means "capital" in the Korean language.\n\nThe convergence of political and economic or cultural power is by no means universal. Traditional capitals may be economically eclipsed by provincial rivals, as occurred with Thebes by Alexandria, Nanjing by Shanghai, or Edinburgh by Glasgow. The decline of a dynasty or culture could mean the extinction of its capital city as well, as occurred with Babylon and Cahokia. And many modern capital cities, such as Abuja, Canberra and Ottawa, were deliberately fixed outside existing economic areas, and may not have established themselves as new commercial or industrial hubs since.

The government of the Philippines is loosely patterned after the U.S. government. It is organized as a representative republic, where the President functions as head of state, the head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected by popular vote to a 6-year term, during which he or she appoints and presides over the cabinet of ministers. The bicameral legislature, the Congress, consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives; members of the former are nationally elected and those of the latter by district. There are 24 senators serving 6 years in the Senate (in staggered batches of 12 every 3 years), while the House of Representatives consists of no more than 250 congressmen each serving 3-year terms. The judiciary branch of the government is headed by the Supreme Court, which has a Chief Justice as its head and 14 Associate Justices, all of whom the President appoints from nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council.

Unitary government has the powers of state concentrated in one body politic.  Parliamentary government is similar to our federalist government here in America, in that there are two houses with different bases of representation (one based on population, and one based on district or land area).
