Republic
Named democratic nation
Republic appears in the names of countries that define themselves by this form of government: the Republic of Ireland, the People's Republic of China.
In U.S. politics, Republic is shorthand for the Republican Party.
Historically, the Republic refers to specific governments—the French Republic, the Roman Republic, or in American context, the United States itself: enemies of the Republic. (Lowercase republic is the general form of government.)
