    Don’t be so American aka uneducated. They still have to have a full government and local governments. Just because they’re smaller than Texas doesn’t mean two guys can run the whole society. You guys really deserve Trump.

      The United states has federal, state and local governments. And often county governments as well in the more populated states.

      Just because i don’t know if Serbia is a representative or parliamentary democracy doesn’t make me uneducated. It means your backwater country is completely unimportant to the global community

        Having three levels of government is standard. It’s not a special American thing. Most countries have this outside of the really small ones. Even Serbia does, to a limited extent.

        Excluding the de-facto independent province of Kosovo, The country has one autonomous province with its own government, namely Vojvodina in the North. Central Serbia however is not a province and doesn’t have its own government.

        The country is further divided into 117 municipalities and 28 cities, all of which have a local government. Six of the largest cities are additionally divided into city municipalities, which also have a local government. This means that depending on where you live in the country, you’ll be subject to somewhere between two and four levels of government.
