Hey all, and thanks for being interested into my poll.
There are many different types of government in this world and opinions differ from extremism to "couldn't care less" sort of attitude. So here is just a very short list of governments and their meaning to see which one is most successful.
Democracy
A state of government where citizens are allowed some political freedoms and rights. Private Buisinesses are encouraged, and people vote for representatives to govern their township/municipality/city and also to be in a council for their geographical area for an even smaller group of people who run the federal buisiness. Taxes differ from leader to leader.
Socialist-Democracy
S.D. is a state of ruling in which the people are allowed political freedoms, but are fundamentally equal. Schooling and other rights are put into place and private enterprises are there, but do not usually supply much to its citizens.
Republicanism
Citizens are given few political freedoms, for only the elite are allowed to vote (i.e. men, in some cases). Schooling is occasional to a township and people are represented by their municipality which make up a greater council.
Tribal Council
The Elders of this group are the leaders and they are not voted, but take the initiative to take charge. People usually contribute to ther villiage for their survival, so this is not a very effective government for large populations.
Monarchy
Monarchy is a state of government of which one person (supposedly by God, or such) takes rule over all others. Poverty is abundant in this empire, and disease ripens cities for destruction. Land is owned by Lords, slavery is everywhere, and political/civilian rights are non-existant.
Feudalism
Feudalism is a splinter of Monarchy, as such one ruler rules above all and freedom/money to the poor are non-existant; but the Feudalist King relies on his lords to be in control of lower ranks and is not very in control at all, relying on his lords to do his bidding. But corruption among the lords is abundant.
Fascism
Usually accompanied by Nazism. A despotist type of government where war is the main philosophy of the people. Political freedoms are unheard of and the main job for all is a soldier. One ruler usually has a guiding council.
Communism
Communism is a state of government where everyone is equal with little political/civil freedoms save for the ultra-rich and the Chancellor. Private Enterprise is non-existant and money is almost illegal, for it has no use. Food and other supplies are handed out to the public and people are required to have a job to support their country. Councils are abundant in this type of government.
Collectivism
A now theoretical type of government where everyone is equal and split up into caste's: The Military Caste, the Political Caste, the Communications, explorations, and air travel caste, and the construction caste. By having five ranks in each people can still be amended for their progress and still be fundamentally equal. Everything that society does is for the greater good of the whole species/country. Schooling and many, many other rights are fundamental and crime would be put to a major stop for the increase in military patroling. Currency is there, but people are given food as a fundamental resource in their living, as well as homes and basic clothing. For The Greater Good!
And there you have it, some basic terms of governments for you to choose in this poll.
And I beg you, please, to state your reasons for voting or any conflict with any of my examples. Thx -15.12.05
