執政黨
執政黨,是一個國家政府中獲得政權的政黨,一般是國家元首、政府首腦或地方行政長官所屬的政黨,或者是其他形式而掌握執政權的政黨。
标准的議會民主國家中,执政党是指实际控制立法行政权力的政党,政治下的执政权力一般限于国家治理,不是能真正掌握国家建制的权力,因为单一政党及其政治家无法代表绝对多数政治力量。民主國家的執政黨政治人物在担任国家及地方政府重要职务时,擁有依法組織政府和制定政策的权力,同时执政党負起政治責任,以維護執政權,否則會在下次選舉中成為在野黨甚至丧失国家层面的政治活动地位。在政党轮替中與執政黨相反的是在野黨,即在国家机关中拥有席位,有政治地位的政党,或反對黨,即广义上反对执政党的政党。
總統制
總統制的國家,則以總統所屬的政黨作為執政黨,總統兼任國家元首和政府首腦。如美國、墨西哥、巴西、阿根廷、智利、哥倫比亞、菲律賓和南韓。執政黨在議會未必是多數黨,或擁有佔多數的執政聯盟,擁有行政权力,属行政主導。政治較為穩定,總統受到任期保障,除非犯下嚴重罪行,否則難以被趕下台,而民主國家的議會擁有彈劾總統的權力。
实行总统制的国家
半總統制
內閣制
內閣制或君主立憲制國家的政府需要經公民直接選舉國會議員,再由國會多數黨作為執政黨。現時行兩院制的國家,多數會以下議院多數,作為執政基礎,政府亦需要獲下議院的多數才能繼續執政。
若有一黨贏得國會下議院過半數席次並自行組閣,該黨即為執政黨,如英國和日本;若無任一政黨席次過半,則各參與聯合政府的政黨皆為執政黨,如德國和意大利;若数个政党组成联盟的国家内,赢得最多议席的政党占据了主导优势,如马来西亚。
完整的议会共和制度
具有礼仪/非执行君主的议会制君主立宪制
混合制
君主獨裁
共和獨裁
在一黨獨大或一黨執政的國家,只有一個具支配地位的合法執政黨,反對黨長期處於在野地位且无机会執政,部分國家不允許具競爭性的政黨存在,如俄羅斯、白俄羅斯、亞塞拜然、土耳其、敘利亞、葉門、新加坡、土庫曼斯坦、烏茲別克斯坦、哈薩克斯坦、辛巴威、蘇丹、厄利垂亞、赤道幾內亞、坦桑尼亞、莫三比克等。
一黨專政國家
在共產黨执政的国家,该国共产党常常是唯一合法的执政党,只不過有時也允许存在一些其他卫星党參政,卻不能取得执政地位,屬政治花瓶,如朝鮮、中華人民共和國、越南、古巴,老撾。

The Caretaker government is headed by a Chief Adviser and a group of neutral, non-partisan advisers chosen from the civil society. During this time, the president has jurisdiction over the defence and foreign affairs ministries.

- Formerly a semi-presidential republic, it is now a parliamentary republic according to David Arter, First Chair of Politics at Aberdeen University, who in his "Scandinavian Politics Today" (Manchester University Press, revised 2008 ISBN 9780719078538), he quotes Nousiainen, Jaakko. . Scandinavian Political Studies. June 2001, 24 (2): 95–109. doi:10.1111/1467-9477.00048. as follows: "There are hardly any grounds for the epithet 'semi-presidential'." Arter's own conclusions are only slightly more nuanced: "The adoption of a new constitution on 1 March 2000 meant that Finland was no longer a case of semi-presidential government other than in the minimalist sense of a situation where a popularly elected fixed-term president exists alongside a prime minister and cabinet who are responsible to parliament (Elgie 2004: 317)". According to the Finnish Constitution, the President has no possibility to rule the government without the ministerial approval, and substantially has not the power to disband the parliament under its own desire. Finland is actually represented by its Prime Minister, and not by its President, in the Council of the Heads of State and Government of the European Union. The 2012 constitutional amendments reduced the powers of the President even further.
- Combines aspects of a presidential system with those of a parliamentary system. The president is elected by parliament and holds a parliamentary seat, much like a prime minister, but is immune from a vote of no confidence (but not their cabinet), unlike a prime minister.

- The Bishop of Urgell and President of France serve as ex officio co-princes who are have their interests known through a representative.
- One of sixteen constitutional monarchies which recognize Elizabeth II as head of state, who presides over an independent government. She is titled separately in each country (e.g. Queen of Australia), and notionally appoints a Governor-General (GG) to each country other than the United Kingdom to act as her representative. The prime minister (PM) is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. These countries may be known as "Commonwealth realms".
In many cases, the Governor-General or monarch has a lot more theoretical, or constitutional, powers than they actually exercise, except on the advice of elected officials, per constitutional convention. For example, the Constitution of Australia makes the GG the head of the executive branch (including commander-in-chief of the armed forces), although they seldom ever use this power, except on the advice of elected officials, especially the PM, which makes the PM the de facto head of government. - The Cook Islands and Niue are under the sovereignty of the Monarch of New Zealand as self-governing states in free association with New Zealand. New Zealand and its associated states, along with Tokelau and the Ross Dependency, comprise the Realm of New Zealand.
