Every democracy has 3 branches (AKA powers): judiciary, legislative and executive.

    no, not every democracy. every government performs those roles but they are not all split the same way. the nordic countries are single-branch and he chinese government has many more than three.

    the nordic countries are single-branch

    According to this official government page Norway at least does have separation of powers into multiple branches. I haven't looked into the other nordic countries, but it's hard to believe that they don't at least separate out the judiciary (courts) from the rest.

    Power in Norway is divided into three branches:

    • the Storting – the legislative branch
    • the Government – the executive branch
    • the courts – the judicial branch
