No, government is not my subject of choice, neither is it my specialty. So, of course I got this from Wiki.

If it's not my subject of choice, you may ask why the mention of it ...and at length??

Well, I do believe we should be governed ...and that being so, we should at least be clear, honest, and consistent about it.  So, here goes:

Anarchy

Anarchy is lack of government, as there is no governing authority; in anarchy there is no government and each individual has absolute liberty. 

Aristocracy

A form of government in which a select few rule based on inherited hereditary right.

Autocracy

A form of government in which the political power is held by a single, self-appointed ruler.

Communist state

a hypothetical entity to which communists can refer when approached with the inconvenient realities of the socialist "republics" run by communist parties. It is notable however that even under Marxist theory communism is supposed to be stateless.

Corporatocracy

a form of government where a corporation, a group of corporations, or government entities with private components, control the direction and governance of a country.

Demarchy

a hypothetical political system run by randomly selected decision makers who have been selected by sortition. Think selecting a legislature or executive in the same manner that a jury is presently selected.

Democracy

Refers to a broad range of types of government based upon the "consent of the governed." In its purest form it is the same thing as mobocracy, but it is usually practiced in the form of a republic, which provides checks and balances and an establishment that is able to tap an unruly mob on its collective head.

Epistemocracy

a utopian type of society and government in which people of rank, including those holding political office, are those who possess epistemic humility.

Ethnocracy

a form of government where representatives of a particular ethnic group hold a number of government posts disproportionately large to the percentage of the total population that the particular ethnic group(s) represents and use them to advance the position of their particular ethnic group(s) to the detriment of others. 

Exilarchy

a form of government, usually theocratic or monarchic, that is established and constituted for rule over an ethnic or religious diaspora rather than over the place of origin whence the diaspora originates.

Fascism

The country is ruled by a totalitarian and corporatist government. It has also gone by the names Nazism, Baathism, Corporatism, and Falangism.

Futarchy

System of government proposed by Economist Robin Hanson based on the idea of voting on a certain outcome and then figuring out how to achieve it.

Geniocracy

a system of government which was first proposed by Rael (leader of the International Raëlian Movement) in 1977 and which advocates problem-solving and creative intelligence as criteria for regional governance

Gerontocracy

a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population.

Kakistocracy

Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens, "Government by the worst."

Kleptocracy

a term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population.

Kratocracy

government by those who are strong enough to seize power through force or cunning.

Kritocracy or Krytocracy

a government ruled by judges.

Kritarchy

a form of order springing from judgments made from principles of natural rights.

Logocracy

government by words.

Meritocracy

a government or other organization wherein appointments are made and responsibilities are given based on demonstrated talent and ability.

Minarchy

a political ideology which maintains that the state's only legitimate function is the protection of individuals from aggression.

Mobocracy or Ochlocracy

government by mob or a mass of people, or the intimidation of constitutional authorities; think Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail "witch/duck" mob

Monarchy 

a form of government in which supreme power is absolutely or nominally lodged with an individual, who is the head of state, often for life or until abdication. A monarchy usually possesses more checks and balances than an autocracy or dictatorship.

Noocracy

a social and political system that is based on the priority of human mind.

Oligarchy

a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military or religious hegemony.

Panarchracy

a political philosophy emphasizing each individual's right to freely join and leave the jurisdiction of any governments they choose, without being forced to move from their current locale.

Plutocracy

rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth.

Socialist republic or people's republic

a state run by a communist party that pretends to be following the progression from capitalism to socialism to communism hypothesized by Karl Marx. Strangely enough, all of them get stuck in the socialist phase and never actually get on to the communism part.

Sociocracy

a system of governance using consent-based decision making among equivalent individuals and an organizational structure based on cybernetic principles.

Stratocracy

a system of government in which there is no distinction between the military and the civil power.

Technocracy 

a form of government in which engineers, scientists, and other technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields.

Theocracy

a form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler. Since said god or deity is usually absent from decision making, a church sponsored leader or leaders will rule instead.

Theodemocracy

a political system theorized by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement (Mormons). As the name implies, theodemocracy was meant to be a fusion of traditional republican democractic rights under the United States Constitution combined with theocratic elements.

Timocracy

either: a state where only property owners may participate in government; or a government where rulers are selected and perpetuated based on the degree of honor they hold relative to others in their society, peer group or class.

Most of the world claims to be some form of Republic ...though their differences are often so vast, it appears at times they are exact opposites.

The second most common is what is called a Constitutional Monarchy ...and often the constitution is changed by the present monarch, to fit their individual needs.

There was another list of 169 government types, but I feel we can have enough fun with what I've listed, then perhaps gain a point or two.

Our government in the United States of America could be called a Geritolial Pluto-Corporate Kleptocracy; or a Merit-Logo Kakistocracy.

Many people have this basic distrust, and more specific disdain for government ...and though we all know it's not run right, some of us believe that if we just make a few drastic changes it will be all right.

But the problem is:  We can't even come close on what we think is really wrong.  Like the two terms I mentioned above: One group could say we just have an old group of wealthy corporate heads who want to steal everyone's money; while the other group may think the selection process is more like American Idol or We've Got Talent ---where it's a popularity contest, including empty promises of words only to actually give us the worst possible people to rule the country. 

I'm going to list a possible government that is not on the list of 169 ...let me call it, Paranoiocracy.  I don't think it has to be explained, but I think it was very influential in many campaigns of past elections.

One of my favorites comes from a simple fact that was relevant before I was married.  I was renting from my soon-to-be 'best man' ...since I was just renting, and he owned it, it was Timocracy.

Often we complain about the way things are ...and the one we think we would most differ with ideologically, may be the one who'd make the best neighbor.

I sometimes think that much thought is not put forth.  Why would women find Sharia law not to be a threat to their rights? And why would a 'socialist' agenda be so tempting when they are usually run by dictators?

I personally do not know where I'll be when Jesus returns again ...but it will either be here, or in Heaven.  The thousand years reign of Jesus that is to come ...is the form of government that I'd choose, but it will be here on earth.  My real preference is after that ...where in Heaven all conflicts of government will be eliminated.

Eternal Life ...yes, what more can be said, but thank you, Lord!!
