Democratic, Rupublic, Socialism, Facism, Faith based, Dictatorship, Totalarism, ect are all types of organizations that Civilizations have used to keep the organization together instead of becoming Barbaric such as during the "dark ages".And lets not forget that the United States of America is a REPUBLIC form of government and not a DEMOCRACY.At least it started that way.
