Ecuadorian people consist of a diverse collection of ethnic groups, almost all related to another group in one way or another.
The first thing to realize about Ecuadorian culture is that it is not one single culture. Instead it is a whole range of cultures mingled together, representing every level of this very stratified community.
The Republic of Ecuador has a non-interfering legislature and the executive powers are stored in the hands of the government. It is grounded on representative democracy, where the representatives of the people enjoy a good amount of authority, which can be twisted according to the demands of circumstances. The representatives come to power with the help of the majority voting. The President is gifted with a title of being the head of both, government and state.
