A government is the body that has the power to make and enforce laws within an organization or group. In its broadest sense, "to govern" means to administer or supervise, whether over an area of land, a set group of people, or a collection of assets.
Various forms of government have been implemented or are currently implemented in Vexillium. Also, as every country’s system is unique, in practice many represent a hybrid of different forms of government. For example, a system generally seen as a representative democracy may in fact include measures providing for a degree of direct democracy in the form of referenda.
