Belgian government
The Belgian government operates as a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. It has three main levels: the federal government, regions (Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels), and communities (Flemish, French, and German-speaking). Each level has its own responsibilities, which helps accommodate Belgium's linguistic and cultural diversity. The King serves as a ceremonial figurehead, while the Prime Minister leads the federal government. The parliament consists of two chambers, responsible for making laws and overseeing the government. Coalition governments are common due to Belgium’s multi-party system, reflecting its diverse political landscape.
