Legislative and institutional framework for sustainable development

Known as the oldest country in the world, the constitution of the Republic of San Marino dates back to the 16th century. It has a parliamentary government consisting of a 60-member Grand and General Council, elected every five years under a proportional representation system. The Council is responsible for the approval of the budget and selects two heads of state every six months, known as Captains Regent, who may not be selected again until three years have elapsed. The Captains Regent serve concurrently as co-head of State (i.e., holds equal powers), and presides over meetings of the Council as well as those of the Congress of State (cabinet).
