What are the different types of governments?

Answer by  polisciprof (7)

While there's no universally accepted list of government types, they can be sorted into two main categories: democracies and non-democracies. The non-democracy category can be further divided into subtypes like communism, as practiced in China, military dictatorship, as practiced in North Korea, and absolute monarchy, as practiced in Saudi Arabia.
