  • A democracy is a form of government in which the people (civilians, clan members) vote who is to be leader. Whomever has the most votes, becomes the leader. Democracies can be done a variety of different ways including a total democracy, representative democracy, and limited democracy. While most clans and unions start off as a dictatorship or monarchy, eventually, as the need for control and civilian appreciation grows, they shift into a democratic form of government. Democracy is not without flaws though it is likely one of the best types of clan governments that is available. In democracy, lies, rogue voting, and using multiple accounts becomes a larger issue.
  • Democracy is the farfetched idea that people should be able to vote on policies and such. Only could come up with such a thing.

Luckily, good clean Americans have fixed the incredibly flawed system by letting corporations and very wealthy people rule over it.

  • Democracy is a computer game that was first developed by Positech Games in 2005, with a sequel released in December 2007. The player plays as if he/she is the president or prime minister of a democratic government. The player must introduce and alter policies in seven areas - tax, economy, welfare, foreign policy, transport, law and order, and public services. Each policy has an effect on the happiness of various voter groups, as well as affecting factors such as Crime and Air Quality. The player has to deal with "situations", which are typically problems such as Petrol Protests or Homelessness, and also has to make decisions on dilemmas that arise each turn.
  • There are various theories and understandings about democracy. One of them is termed the Third Universal Theory and is introduced in The Green Book.
  • Democracy is the freedom of not being able to wear shoes. Democracy dates back to the year 4972 BC, and still goes on today. The shoe indrusty is very mad at democracy and loves it.

  • Democracy was a favored form of government for the Assassin Order. However, the Templar Order heavily opposed democracy, often manipulating and sabotaging the voting system of the United States to plant their own puppets in the position of President. One such notable occasion was during the 2000 election, where the Templars succeeded in installing George W. Bush as their puppet in the White House.
  • A pure democracy is a form of government in which every citizen votes on every decision made by the government. There is not national government which functions as a pure democracy today, though Switzerland comes close. Athens exercised pure democracy at one time.
  • The Democracy provides various bonuses to all kinds of nations: Peaceful nations profit from reduced cost for build upgrades as well as the patriot's building bonus to complete wonders in less time (the Patriot needs to be close to the wonder's construction site). Warring nations can use the patriot's production bonus to field a large army more quickly. However, warring nations making heavy use of cavalry and/or artillery units should consider picking the Democracy's counterpart, the Monarchy.
  • The rise of the fascist Galactic Empire effectively ended the rule of democracy on the galactic level. However, the self-anointed Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine tolerated the continued existence of the Senate—reformed as the Imperial Senate—for two decades in order to maintain control over the thousands of star systems that composed the Empire. Following the completion of the first Death Star in 0 BBY, the Emperor formally dissolved the Senate and transferred control of the Empire's territories to the regional governors. As a result, the last remnant of the democratic Republic was removed from the Empire.
  • "The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them." -Karl Marx Democracy is a form of government, invented by ancient Greeks. in ancient Athens. Democracy allows the people to have some degree of say in how their government is run. This happens either by people directly voting on matters, or by electing people's representatives to make the law. At its best Democracy promotes good Human beings. Democracy is what didn't happen in the 2000 US presidential election. (I'm looking at you, Florida.)
  • Democracy is a form of government prevalent in the Western World where majority rules and where 51 people can vote to take away things belonging to the other 49, such as money, ponies, and jet packs. That means for 49% of people in a Democracy, Democracy really, really sucks. Democracy, is like having a "Demolition" Expert who is crazy and finds it funny to make a large capitalist world. Democrazy sounds weird, lets change it Democracy! After those poor saps have lost everything, the ones who gained everything find some other divisive issue to split themselves over. The entire country then forms a totally new majority over this issue. Lots of the new minority members got rich from being in the previous majority, so the process repeats itself.
  • A democracy is a form of government, which literally means "rule by the people," by the means of achieving a consensus through casting votes. In a representative democracy, also known as a representative republic, holders of political office excise control of and make laws for those who elected them. According to a PADD prop created for Star Trek: Insurrection but not readably seen in the movie, the Evora (refered to as the Bartisi) system of government was a semifeudal democracy.
