No, it's not. They have a hereditary head of state who enforces his rule with control of the military.

That is why it is technically a republic, but not in practice. The constitution says it is a republic, and they actually have an election for the role of head of state, well "election", but of course in practice that is not how it works at all.

The US is also technically a representative democracy, but in practice, well...

I'm saying it's just a lying monarchy.

A pile of shit isn't a rose because you call it a rose. You're just lying.

Your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. We are in agreement, you are just a moron who can't read.

Also I am not lying, I am stating facts.

It's not "technically" a republic because it has a hereditary ruling line. Period.

You weirdly angry goon.
