A system explainer built from country metadata, linked institutions, office timelines, elections, and parties.
Iraq operates under a federal republic system in the current dataset.
Iraq is tracked in PoliticaHub as a federal republic, which gives the page a baseline answer to how executive and legislative authority are arranged.
Executive power is inferred here from current office timelines and the country's connected offices rather than a richer constitutional note.
No legislature name is recorded yet, so the institutional picture relies more heavily on connected offices and institutions.
1 institutions are linked to Iraq, which helps map the legislature, executive bodies, or other constitutional actors around the state.
122 parties are connected to Iraq, giving this system page a party-system layer rather than treating institutions in isolation.
The most recent linked election is Iraq 2021 Parliamentary Election, and it acts as the best available marker of how the present balance of power was produced.
