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!!
