Encyclopedia—Estonia

Government

Operating under the constitution of 1992, Estonia is a multiparty republic. It has a popularly elected 101-seat unicameral parliament, called the Riigikogu, whose members serve four-year terms. The president, elected by parliament for a five-year term, has little substantive power; the prime minister, or head of government, is nominated by the president and approved by parliament. For administrative purposes the country is divided into 15 counties.
