The Prime Minister, a product of the Diet (Parliament), reports weekly to the legislature in what Columbia Law School's Michael Young calls an "environment of interaction, conciliation and accountability." In addition, Japanese politicians "engage in continual and intense negotiation with the private sector."

Three months ago the young King arrested the British leader of a fundamentalist Christian movement, the South African-based Rhema Gospel Church, and has kept him locked up ever since. The proselytizing foreigner, who is expected to appear in court this month, faces charges of sedition for daring to suggest that certain Swazi traditions, such as the reed-dance ceremony, might be "ungodly and immoral."
