The Read
Run from Nicosia, Cyprus is a presidential system in Europe. 1.3 million people; that scale shapes the politics.
One office, head of state and head of government in the same chair. Cyprus's presidency is strong by design — legislatures and courts shape what's possible, but the executive sets the tempo.
Cyprus's political landscape includes 1 election, 32 political parties, and 1 office.
