Anarchy - a condition of lawlessness or political disorder brought about by the absence of governmental authority.

Confederacy (Confederation) - a union by compact or treaty between states, provinces, or territories, that creates a central government with limited powers; the constituent entities retain supreme authority over all matters except those delegated to the central government.

South America Latvia Latvia government collapses amid economic crisis Latvia's coalition government has collapsed after failing to tackle a crippling economic crisis. By Matthew Day 6:22PM GMT 17 Mar 2010 The People's Party, the largest group in a five-party coalition, walked out amid disputes over how to cope with the country's severe problems. Unemployment has now hit 20 per cent and the economy contracted by 18 per cent last year. The People's Party quit after its action plan failed to get the backing of Valdis Dombrovskis, the Latvian prime minister, who labelled it "populist".

you are here home Europe Latvia Government Latvia, Government The present republic of Latvia is a legal successor to the independent republic of the same name that existed from 1918 to 1940. The 1922 constitution, which was fully restored in 1993, is recognized as the country’s supreme legal document. Latvia’s judicial system consists of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, regional and district courts, and administrative courts. The Supreme Court is the highest court of appeal. The Constitutional Court was established in 1996 to ensure that legislation is in conformity with the constitution. Most judges are appointed for life with the confirmation of the Saeima. The members of the Constitutional Court are appointed by the Saeima for ten-year terms. When it was a Soviet republic, Latvia had no defense forces apart from those of the USSR. Since becoming independent in 1991, Latvia has developed its own armed forces, which now include an army of 3,100 troops, a navy of 840, and an air force of 210. There is also a border guard and a home guard reserve consisting of volunteers. Conscription for military service is mandatory for all males for a period of 12 months, beginning at age 18. Latvia is a member of the United Nations (UN), the Council of Europe, and the Partnership for Peace program of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Latvia’s relations with Lithuania and Estonia are loosely coordinated through the Baltic Assembly, an intergovernmental body created in 1991. Consisting of members of the three countries’ parliaments who are designated to meet occasionally, the assembly has accomplished little beyond occasional declarations. Like its Baltic neighbors, Latvia is not a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a loose political alliance of most of the former Soviet republics.

Home World Map Rankings Countries from A to Z A B C D ... Z Source: www.exchange-rates.org World Europe Latvia (Notes) Latvia - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS The highest organ of state authority in Latvia is the Saeima, a unicameral legislative body of 100 members who are elected by direct popular vote to serve four-year terms. The Saeima initiates and approves legislation sponsored by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of government and has full responsibility and control over the Cabinet. The President, who is elected by the Saeima every four years, holds a primarily ceremonial role as head of state, though the President must sign each law into force and has the power to return laws to the Saeima twice for review and revision. The President also has the power to call for a referendum on legislation that the Saeima refuses to change after twice being sent back. On March 19, 1991 the Supreme Council passed a law explicitly guaranteeing 'equal rights to all nationalities and ethnic groups' and 'to all permanent residents in the Republic regardless of their nationality, equal rights to work and wages.' In addition, the law prohibits 'any activity directed toward nationality discrimination or the promotion of national superiority or hatred.' In the June 5-6, 1993 elections, in which more than 90% of the electorate participated, eight of Latvia's 23 registered political parties passed the 5% threshold to enter parliament. The centrist party Latvia's Way received a 33% plurality of votes and joined the Farmer's Union to head a center-right-wing coalition government.
