Ever since man realized that he could exert influence over others, he has sought to make this process as efficient as possible. Thus the State was born, but now in the year 2021, we've seemingly explored all the possible configurations of the State. Here they are:\\ - Absolutist Monarchy: A state where the leader of the nation wields the full power of the State, however unlike a dictator, he doesn't rely solely on strength, but also prestige and law for his legitimacy; Examples of this throughout the world, are the Petrostates of the Gulf, and the edges of the Japanosphere.\\ - Theocracy: A state that derives its legitmacy from God or some other supernatural forced; The most famous example is the Bishop of Rome, who rules Vatican City as the temporal extent of the Church, but zeal also fuels the Jihadis of Iraq and the Congo.\\ - Military Junta: Also derogatorily called a "Warlord State", is a state who doesn't seem to pretend of what backs their power with soldiers and generals making budgets and public relations; Examples pepper the world, from revanchist Nigeria to the Fascists on the Rio de la Plata.\\ - International Peacekeeping Administration: Sometimes a land is in such disorder, either due to disaster nor civil war, that the only authority that can bring order must come from a foreign state; Though such situations come and go, though as of New Year's Day, there is an East African Federation contigency in South Sudan.\\ 
- Provisional Government: Simply put, this is a government that is quickly assembled in haste due to the breakdown of the central state; These are best seen in the warring states of the Iraqi Civil War\\ 
- Directorial Republic: A government where a group or council acts as the executive power of the government; The oldest example is Switzerland.\\  
- Presidential Republic: A republic in which the executive is a president separated from any sort of legislature; Using the most famous example of this State, we present the United States of America!\\ 
- Semi-Presidential Republic: This is a republic in which the President and Prime Minister share the power of the Executive, with the PM being closer to the legislature and the President to the ministers; Though more sparse than Parliamentarian states, there are few in the Occident like Oran and Peru, as well as the Orient such as Egypt and Singapore.\\ 
- Parliamentary Republic: A representative democracy headed by a Prime Minister; The largest of these states, the East African Federation, hugs Africa's eastern coast, in this polity of many languages and even more cultures, a diverse parliament is what keeps this African Power bold.\\  
- Ceremonial Monarchy: A Monarchy, in name alone that is what a ceremonial Monarchy is; In Europe they are common,In the Lowlands, the Commonweath and even minuscule Lichenstein and Andorra.\\ 
- Semi-Constitutional Monarchy: Unlike ceremonial monarchies, these monarchs have some power in the state, as in the case of His/Her Majesty's Armed Forces in the UK;Though it isn't solely on Britannia's shores, Notable examples include Japan, Durranistan, and the little Kingdom of Miskito.\\ 
- Anarchist Confederation: A system in which the people of a settlement agree to work with each other without a mediator; Though more populated in books of Theory than on the global stage, there notable examples of this system in the communes of America and Europe, but also informally in the isolated tribes and villages of the Third World.\\  
- Autocratic Republic: A Monarchy without a Monarchy, in these lands they are 'republics' and yet there is no involvement of the 'public' in the matters of the state; This can be best exemplified in Biya's 40-year, as of now, reign of Cameroon\\ 
- Council Republic: Similar to the Autocratic Republic, they retain their power by a byzantine system of Bureaucrats and Servicemen under the authority of a small council, an Oligarcy if you will; This is best exemplified by the Power wielded by the USSR's Politburo, as though the gulags are closed, many state decisions are made by them.\\
