How states are organised and who decides what.
Politics is easy to follow daily and hard to understand structurally, because the machinery is rarely explained and varies by country. This category covers the structures: what separates a parliamentary system from a presidential one, what the chambers are for, which institutions hold which powers. It takes in the major international bodies too, since a good deal of modern governance happens between states rather than inside them. The explanations describe how things work rather than arguing about who should win, and where countries differ the difference is spelled out plainly.
