Republic, Latin for res publica (res meaning affair and publica meaning public), is a form of government where a nation is a public matter to citizens. A Republic is achieved through Representative Democracy, where the population elects representatives to govern the nation on there behalf and through the Rule of Law, where laws, wether codified or not, influence society, are applied equally to everyone in that, and dictate how a country is to be governed.
