Although China still and the most of the outside world refers to the country as a: "communist state" very few people would agree that China fits that definition.  \n\nThe Modern day government in China is more like an Oligopoly in which a group of politically well connected people run a totalitarian government while allowing it's people to engage capitalist market activities.\n\nTrue communist nations that embrace the economic system as much as possible as well as the ideology of big government control are: North Korea and to a lesser extent Cuba.  I say to a lesser extent when refering to Cuba because they have allowed tourism and slight free market reforms in order to prop up their economy.

not many countries have a government UK style. It's pretty unique. It's quite an undemocratic democracy. Find out more from the House of Commons website. I think the only other country that has a similar system is Japan. Definitely not Canada/Australia/India. I repeat! Definitely not Canada/Australia/India!The UK gov has special intricacies that mark it out as v.unique, for e.g. we have no written constitution. Check out the uk.gov. website!

A democracy elects its government by popular vote.  A republic does not have a monarchy.\n\nUSA and India are both democracies and republics.  UK and Thailand are both democracies but not republics (as they both have monarchies).\n\nBurma (which calls itself Myanmar now) is a republic but not a democracy (the democratically elected government is under house arrest).  Nepal is neither a democracy nor a republic as it has an absolute monarch.  North Korea is a republic but not really a democracy (although it calls itself a democracy because people have to vote.  As North Koreans have only one candidate to choose from at election time, most people would not really regard this as a democracy.)

pretty sure that has something to do with the nature of political leaders. do they ever follow the wishes of the people, in any country?

Democracy spread during the 1990's as a result of the collapse of Communist rule over the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. This process was more a feature of the late 1980's and early 1990's. It was also a trend in Latin America, Southeast Asia, Taiwan and S Korea. Some Arab and African states—notably Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority— moved towards greater liberal democracy in the 1990s and 2000s. As a result of these changes, more than 50% of the world's population lived in democratic regimes in 2000.

Oh gosh, look at the map.  Most of Africa, though not all. Most Muslim countries except Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey. Many Central Asian nations, and there are a two dictatorships incubating in South America. Then Cuba and North Korea.  A great many still in existence.

Among the few states that have absolute monarchies are Swaziland, Brunei, Bhutan, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. In Jordan and Morocco, the Monarch retains considerable power. There are also recent (2003) developments in Liechtenstein, wherein the regnant prince was given the Constitutional power to dismiss the government at will. Nepal saw several contradictory trends related to the violent rebel movement and the killings by the suicidal crown prince.\n\nurrently, there is some controversy over the succession laws of some monarchies in the European Union (EU), such as that of the United Kingdom (UK) or the Scandinavian monarchies, which require their Monarch to be of a certain faith (in the UK under the Act of Settlement 1701). This has been challenged as violating EU rules that prohibit religious disqualification for positions of state authority.

a constitutional monarchy is a knid of a normal monarchy. With a king or a queen, but they dont have all the free power. Whatever they do has to follow under the laws of the country they're in.

a dictator comes to power from the outside,military or sometimes elected and then thake total control, a monarchy come to power through bloodlines, kings ,queens, princes,etc. and hands it down to the next generation. Most believe the were given the absolute rigt to rule from god. the outcome from both is always the same, the rule through fear
