Democracy is when people vote for their leader what Dany did was to oppress the people of Meereen which is tyranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runaway Penguin Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 She did oppress PART of the people, she empowered the rest. Mereen may be on the way to become Res Publica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBurz Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Democracy is when the power emanates from the people. She was publicly acclaimed by mostly every slave in the city, which clearly configurates a majority, so it was an "absolutist democracy" while she ruled. The moment power emanated from her, it changed to an autocracy, unless Daario´s ordered to be a provisory government while elections are held. Republic is a harder thing to define even in real life. In certain ways, westeros can be considered a monarchic republic (even though the main understanding of "republic" nowadays confuses itself with representative democracy), since there is a public institution in the Crown that is supposedly separate from the individual sphere (the crown has its own "bank account" independent of houses targaryen or baratheon, as well as a navy and a tiny standing army). Qarth under the 13 could be an oligarchic republic, depending on certain details I´m not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
