Its sort of a mixed up question. Norway does not have a president, it has a King and a Prime Minister. A country does not need a president to be a republic. In essence, a republic is a nation which elects its officials rather than the officials inheriting. While King Harald is the Head of state, the real authoritative power rests on the Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg. In the lists of the 206 countries which identify themselves as having a republic foundation, Norway has listed itself as a republic.
