nonmonarchic
Lacking royal rule
Nonmonarchic describes a system of government that is not a monarchy—one without a king, queen, or other hereditary sovereign as head of state.
Republics, democracies, and various forms of oligarchy are nonmonarchic systems.
The revolutionaries sought to establish a nonmonarchic government.
