The United States' actual system of government, despite ignorant morons thinking we're either a complete democracy or a complete republic. We're actually a combination of the two.

Get the Democratic Republic of Congo mug.
Formerly Zaire, a central/south-central African country which is neither fully democratic nor a functioning republic. It is, however, located in the general vicinity of the Congo River. Site of the Second Congo War in which more than 5.4 million people were killed, making it the most deadly conflict since World War II.

It may be referred to as DR Congo or DRC to distinguish it from the Republic of the Congo, which is on the other side of the Congo River.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the second poorest country in the world, after Zimbabwe.

Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Congo-Léopoldville, Congo-Kinshasa, and Zaire are all former names of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The most messed up country modern civilization has ever seen. More people have died in this country in war than any other war since World War 2. If you travel there, expect to see chopped off arms and dead babies lying around everywhere.

A country in central africa and among the poorest countries in the world. Like much of Africa, it's capable of alot but has been conflicted with war and political corruption. It's rich mineral deposits were part of the reason for the Congolese Civil Wars which is what has destroyed any chance of political and economic growth.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo could be a much better place if it weren't for the constant crime and war
