Mostly Foreign states, but if you want one chosen i would have to say IRAN, a FASCIST state setting between two country's that will be working Democracies. Iran hates its own people and ARABS so much they kill them by the hundreds.

the US is a mainly a republic  with a touch of democracy. a democracy is government that every issue would be voted on by the people. a republic is where the people elected someone to vote for them on issue. the only time we are democracy is when we vote directly on issues.

huge difference one was democratically elected and kept it, and installed his own party to control everything. The other had to be re-elected and has competetion..thats why they call it a democracy.

No the proof of history does not bear the statements about democracy has failed--look at SK, japan, germany and easter europe, democarcy is the winner, blind fundamnetalism beliefs are the long term loser.

It is a republic. It is governed by a representatives, not by the actually people (as in a democracy).

China. India is the world's biggest democracy. Population wise. So the US has been working with the Indian Government. But China is still under Communist rule and still hates Capitalists.

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.)

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.

There is no right answer. \n\n Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today. \n\n The United Nations has 191 members (including East Timor, the newest nation) but that number does not include the Vatican, an independent nation. \n\n The US State Department recognizes 192 independent countries around the world. but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it does not include Taiwan as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. \n\n Many World Almanacs use 192 countries, which is probably the best answer, but what about East Timor? Palestine? Greenland? Western Sahara? The political world is constantly changing.

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.

How can you compare.  Iran is not a Democracy - it is an Islamic Theocracy.\nUnder that form of Government - you have no say as to how many hours you work.
