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` (eg. EAF-Sudan)
- Provisional Government` (eg. most civil war factions i guess?)
- Directorial Republic` ((eg. Switzerland) - a group / council acting as the executive power of the nation)
- Presidential Republic` (eg. USA)
- Semi-Presidential Republic` (eg. IRL France)
- Parliamentary Republic` (eg. Ireland)
- Ceremonial Monarchy` (eg. UK)
- Semi-Constitutional Monarchy` (eg. UAE)
- Anarchist Confederation` (eg. Preston FL)
- Autocratic Republic` (republic without a democracy basically)
- Council Republic` (eg. USSR)
