The president has total executive powers, while the prime minister is just a minister which makes of representant of the president if he's not in conditions to do it himself. There are a total of 16 ministries, the cabinet is more important than in other presidential system because they can act without the consentient of the president, which sometimes leads to a situation of confusion and misunderstood between the different parts of the executive. With the new constitution been established in 2010, the roles are going to change dramatically, been the role of the prime minister and president the ones which are going to change the most, because the president will became a simple representative of the government, and the prime minister will take the role of the president on the actual system.

[edit] History

Main article: History of Shivat

[edit] Before the revolution

The history of Shivat as a unified territory starts in 342, when a young warrior king called Xillan started a fast but bloody campaign to take over the hole nation starting by the north of the country, in 344, the total territory of Shivat and a few parts of the actual territories of Kelssek and Algaisia, this new and powerful country was called Empire of the Rising Moon, mainly due to the Shivatan Paganism influence on the emperor.

This empire was very traditionalist, due to the fact that the Shivatan Paganism was very conservative and close religion. The emperor was adored as a living god, and the priests and warriors assured this. In the XIX century, the aislatiobnism of the country was impossible, the developed countries started destroying the ports and coastal cities of the empire, until the emperor accepted the recognition of special trade cities in 1823, this lead to the growing influence of christianity in the country and rebellions from both sides, those who wanted to close the doors to estrangers, and those who wanted to industrialize the country and transform it into an industrial country. This last movement ended in 1928, the the rebel soldiers attacked the imperial palace in Shan Lu, destroying it and killing the hole imperial family and court, this revolution was based in other revolutions like Kelssek's against the Guedian kingdom.

[edit] After the revolution

Although the intentions of the coup d'état were good, the violence was discredited by foreign media leading to an state of anarchy in the country until 1930, when the first constitution was established. Durign this period of stability which longed from 1930 to 1947 the country didn't develop their industry at all and the agriculture of subsistence was the main producer of work and GDP, and so the country was considered one of the poorest, this situation led to a situation of a two-party system in the parliament, been the Communist People's Party dominating the northern part of the country (the poorest area), and the Progressive party dominating the more industrialized and populated south.

When in 1947 the Progressive party won the elections after 7 years of communist government, the communist militants declared a people's revolution and founding the People's guerrilla of Shivat, which dominated the north except for a few big urban areas like Setsu. This situation led finally to a civil war between the communists and the loyalists (to the democracy). This war ended in 1951, when finally the loyalist won the war after the epic victory in the Kawaggi battle, in the city of Kawaggi, where the communist headquarters were located. Between 1951 and 1960 the government of Shivat had to rebuild a destroyed country and fight to the remnants of the communist army, now a guerrilla, and to can afford all the cost the government ended having a public debt of more than 6 billion dollars and had to appeal for money to the other countries of the East Pacific. Finally in 1960, with all this money and with the country better than before the war, the industrialization begun especially in exportation of heavy metals and food to other countries, and since the 1980s of high-tech, mobiles and chips for computers. In the 1990s the country saw a huge change on the social policy and the introduction of a welfare state and other important social policies. In 2009 the newly elected Democratic party defeated the Liberal party and stated a process to change the semi--presidential system to a parliamentary one.
