Preface: Kinda got sidetracked by the debate running in the background, tonight, which... got me thinking about political science (i studied this in College).

Normally, i do try to avoid American politics, but i guess curiousity got the better ov me, &&, i got sidetracked.

Anyway, the DMG lists these gummint forms:

* Anarchy**
* Autocracy
* Bureaucracy
* Confederacy
* Democracy
* Dictatorship
* Feodality
* Geriatocracy
* Gynarchy
* Hierarchy
* Magocracy
* Matriarchy
* Militocracy
* Monarchy
* Oligarchy
* Pedocracy
* Plutocracy
* Republic
* Theocracy
* Syndicracy

** Dropped from the DMG, but included here (and, on the 1eo site), as it appeared in the original version of the DMG section, which was an article in Dragon #25.

Where would you place them on Aerth?

A starting point might be finding examples of these government forms in the real-world, whether in history or the present.

As well, of course, most governments, if not all, are a blend of 1 or more government forms, from the above list.
