Basically my friend, it gives the public the sense of having a voice, because they can voice their concerns through the Grand Council, who in turn can make their concerns made known to the Capacitator. The Capacitator has the ultimate say, giving it that tolalitarian feel, and thusly it does depend on how good of a leader the Capacitator is (just as in the old days when kings were thought to be chosen by god). The fact that the council exists and gets their veiws from the public allows the Capacitator to make choices that would better benifit the public.
And sure republic fits there. Many dictator ran countries were called republics. Let's take the old Iraq, for example which was knnown as a republic.
A republic can loosly be any goverment with a ruling council of people. |
