Sithcloak Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Right now I'm working on a merit badge that requires you to show 5 different types of goverment on the world map. Sorry to sound un-educated but are there any absolue monarchys or dictatorships now days? I haven't been keeping track of the news untill a year or two ago. Sithcloak
Young David Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 I believe Monaco is full monarch The Netherlands has a queen, but she is not really our ruler. Same goes for Belgium and the UK
Tie Guy Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 The US isn't a true democracy, they are more of a republic, where the people elect otehrs to make decisions. In a true democracy the people vote on everything. Cuba is an absolute dictatorship
Heavyarms Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 um,dictatorship: china Constitutional monarchy: Britain Anarchy: venezuela
Clefo Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 China's communist not Dictator.. same with Cuba I would say Afghanistan, but thanks to US intervention you may not get your Merit Badge, Iraq is a Dictatorship so is Iran and Pakistan etc...
idiot00001 Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 Aren't Iran and Pakistan monarchies. Oh, and China and Cuba are in theory cummunist countries, but in true communism there isn't a government at all. So they are more of a dictatorship than communist country.
Clefo Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 I'm not too sure on Iran but I'm 95% sure Pakistan is.. Its ruled by a Military General which equals dictatorship.. Communism is a real form of government, I mean its (Kinda) practiced today right?
Zygomaticus Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 Pakistan's Leader is a 'General' India is a democracy Nepal has a king, im not sure if its absolute monarchy
NewtypeJedi Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 USA: Constitutional Federalist Republic :) France: Constitutional Republic Britain: Constitutional Monarchy * Saudi Arabia: Absoulte Monarchy * * Pakistan: Military Dictatorship * China: Communist Oligarchy * Cuba: Communist Dictatorship * Iran: Theocracy (Rule by Religious Authority) - I'm a Political Science Major, so these are accurate.
Zygomaticus Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Oligarchy is a kind of government in which power is held by very few people... like China.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Just to add one: Norway is a Monarchy*. *Same as the UK: The monarchs have no real power.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Aren't Iran and Pakistan monarchies. Oh, and China and Cuba are in theory cummunist countries, but in true communism there isn't a government at all. So they are more of a dictatorship than communist country. What happened with the communism was that the idea of "you get the same amount of money even if you don't work as hard" failed because the people were lazy humans. "Oh, if it is the same how much we work, then why work that much at all?". Thus, Stalin was forced to recruit an MP army to keep the workers busy, and well.... However, I have this theory that if only a country is communism for long enough, people will start realising that they need to work harder and it will stabilize (US democrats: don't flame me for this). In Norway, we don't have grades in elementary school (as everyone at the same age are supposed to b in the same grade level), but the elementary school kids still do all of their work. All we get back from doing well is knowing we answered everything correctly on that quiz last week, or that the teacher puts a nice little sticker in our books. Kind of similar to communism that way, but again, don't flame me.
