80px Role of the President in the Netherlands
Historically
The President in the Netherlands had a somewhat different role than in most other countries. Although starting off as pretty much the most important man there was, the biggest party generally also delivered the country president. In the beta period of eRepublik there weren't many parties, but since late 2008 the number of parties rose. The government eventually was formed by a majority in Congress[citation needed], forcing parties to work together in coalitions.
The Prime Minister therefore became politically more powerful in the Netherlands, and for two years the role of the Country President was generally considered a military and symbolic one.
After a year of debating and experimenting, in October 2010 the Netherlands switched from a Party-Coalition-based government to a semi-Presidential government. This was enforced after a constitutional change proposed by then Prime Minister Daniel Parker, abolishing his post of Prime Minister in the process.
