Myanmar government

Myanmar’s government is a semi-sovereign state with a complex political system. It has a President serving as head of state and government, elected by a Parliament composed of elected representatives. The military retains significant influence through reserved seats in Parliament and control over key ministries, especially defense and internal security. The government operates under a constitution adopted in 2008, which balances civilian and military power. Political authority is exercised through democratic institutions, but the military's role means military interests have a substantial impact on policy and governance, leading to ongoing political tension and challenges to democratic development.
