Countries with a collegial executive system like Switzerland, where executive power is vested in a group of individuals rather than a single head of state or government, include:
1. Switzerland
- The Federal Council (Bundesrat/Conseil fédéral/Consiglio federale) is a seven-member executive body.
- Members share collective responsibility for governing.
2. Bosnia and Herzegovina
- The Presidency is a tripartite body, consisting of one Bosniak, one Croat, and one Serb representative.
- Members rotate as Chair every eight months.
3. San Marino
- The Captains Regent (Capitani Reggenti) are two heads of state.
- They serve six-month terms and share executive authority equally.
4. Andorra
- The Principality has two Co-Princes: the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell.
- They share executive power with Andorra’s General Council and the Head of Government.
5. European Union (partially)
- The European Commission acts as a collegial body, with commissioners from each member state.
- Decisions are made collectively, but this applies only to specific policy areas within the EU framework.
These systems reflect a commitment to power-sharing and often aim to ensure representation across different political, ethnic, or regional groups.
