I think that a republic government is the most common government in our modern world. I think this for quite a few reasons. First off, when you look at "The World Fact-book" the majority of the different governments for each country is a republic government. A republic government is defined as a system of limited government in which the people are the ultimate source of governmental power. Our government in the US is very similar to a republic government. A lot of countries in the world have a government system similar to us but not quite the same. Power is typically held by the people. The people elect representatives and there is an elected or nominated president. A lot of governments, prior to the 20th century were controlled by a monarch. The people didn't like that as much and got the best next thing; a republic government.
