Iceland is governed under the constitution of 1944 as amended. The president, who is the head of state, a largely ceremonial post, is popularly elected to a four-year term; there are no term limits. The head of government is the prime minister. The legislature is the unicameral Althing , whose 63 members are popularly elected to four-year terms. Administratively, Iceland is divided into eight regions.
