During the early 21th Century it had become a widespread practice among the nations of the Earth to call itself in the one or other way Democratic and Organize their written constitutions based upon principles originating in what has been called the western world. Indeed, regardless of the actual political situation and ruling form of governance during this era most nations did consider themself to be a democracy or at least in theory based onto the concept of representative democracy, which was then seen and regarded as the best form of government.
So the question here is whether or not your nation considers itself a Democracy or at least based onto democratic principles. Regardless whether or not it is actually a "Democray" such as Democratic People's Republic of Korea for example.
The Principality of Dushan considers itself to be a Monarchy and rejects democracy as a form of "Tyranny by Majority", a dangerous and volatile form of "mob-rule" and populism. However Dushan itself has some argueably representative elements and even elections, not without Populist elements either. This showcases the disparity between the stated and actual political situation.
