Political configuration

In Spain we have a King (Juan Carlos I). There has been a lot of debate about the royal family role nowadays. All the more since the Prince (Felipe) married a divorced plebeian.

Our Constitution says that the male would be preferred to the female when talking about succession to the Crown. We are discussing that as well.

However, this royalty stuff is substantially a symbol. Real decisions are made at two levels:

* Spanish Level: president Zapatero and his government.

* Autonomous regions: 17 presidents taking decisions on various issues concerning their respective territories. Kind of State Governors, I guess.
