     In France the head of *state* is the President, the head of *government* is the Prime Minister. (IIRC similar thing going on for Belgium)

     @kaia@brotka.st That doesn't seem right. I'm assuming with prime minister in Germany they actually mean chancellor, but I think technically that's the head of government. The head of state is the president, right?

     @ente @kaia this map is completely idiotic. I get the fun jab at Lukashenko, but most of the other entries confuse head of State with head of government

     @ledoian @kaia Most influential (or powerful) seems like an annoyingly tricky question because there's so many way of overruling others in politics.
     
     Like in France, Prime Minister can choose to ignore the assembly/senate (and this has been done quite frequently these last years) but assembly can do a vote of no-confidence (with majority of votes) to effectively kick out the Prime Minister.
     At least for France the President holds a *lot* of power so in this particular case it's easy (unless somehow we do a Belgium, just President instead of Prime Minister).

     @lanodan @kaia This AFAIK holds for most states in Europe: definitely Czechia, Slovakia, Ukraine; almost surely also for Germany and Poland; Netherlands is a kingdom though. Finland has no king, it is a republic…

     The other thing is, who is the most influential person w.r.t. executive power. And this is not straight forward either, because for Czech, the President is IIRC part of the executive power, but de facto the power lies on the Government lead by the Prime Minister…

     @oblomov @kaia some are just plain wrong.
     
     E.g. Germany (we just don't have a prime minister)
