Democracy

Democracy is a from of government in which eligble citizens either directly or through elected representitives particpate in the creation of laws. Democracy contrasts with forms of government where power is either held by one person, as in a monarchy, or where power is held by a small number of individuals, as in an oligarchy. Historical examples of true democracies are sparse with only the Federal Republic of Aurelia and possibly the Independent Republic of Directus meeting the criteria. The Federal Republic of Aurelia allowed all public servants to be elected by a vote of all male citizens of voting age. The Independent Republic of Directus however only allows voting age males with atleast 250 phoenix worth of property to vote and after the establishment of the Directian Empire during the Osean Continental War only lower level officials were democratically elected.
