Wikipedia: A republic is a form of government in which the citizens choose their leaders and the people (or at least a part of its people) have an impact on its government. The word "republic" is derived from the Latin phrase res publica, which can be translated as "a public affair". Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition.
