a goverment that has its roots in Sparta but became more effective type of goverment when rome combined a sparta type Republic whith a greek type Democracy.a Republic was orignaly verry effective of makeing sure a country stayed together the only problem happened is when it is combined with a Democracy. When this happens a country can split in half and go into civil war which has happened to Rome and America.Republics although the idea is outdated and very old it is still effective and is used still by the most powerfull country in the world the USA(in a millitary sense but by no means political or economic).
Sparta was a Republic and we are Democratic Republic

The digital millenium copyright act, the controlled substances act, the USA PATRIOT act, the Alien and Sedition acts.
All of these were passed by "Noble representatives who know what's best for us"
You fascists make me sick. My state has a balance between accountable politicians and referenda if you want anything done, and I like it that way.

A terrible dictatorship, in which if you disobey anything the leader deems appropriate your ass will be electrified.
The leader and his minions function within a massive fortress so as not to be harmed by revolutionaries, or rebels.
Usually, but not always, it is undermined by the dictator's apprentice's estranged son.

Don't tell anyone, but since the Emperor fried my brother's ass, I've been considering becoming a rebel. I just can't take the hypocrisy of the Republic anymore.

a system in which the public "votes in" a few puppets to look like they're running the government, who are actually put in by the 10 or so people that control everything people read or see on TV, and convince them they're not being fucked as hard as they feel.

NOT a democracy. A nation with elected leaders. Could be a fascist dictatorship, left-wing utopia, or Marxist-Leninist socialism.
