List of republics


This is a list of republics. For antiquity the assessment of whether a state organisation is a republic is based on retrospective analysis by historians and political theorists. For more recent systems of government, worldwide organisations with a broad political acceptance, can provide information on whether or not a sovereign state is referred to as a republic.
