Hello!
This video is very informative and clear in terms of explanation and context.
I have learned a lot about the main forms of goverment and I recommend this video to anyone else to learn about this topic. Keep the great work up!

Perhaps new form of government may be invented in future. As people are always inventing new ideas

I found these descriptions to be less scientific and more opinionated than I was expecting.

Colonialism doesn't seem to be a form of government and more of an act of changing someone's government or ruling into your own government in a forceful manner. This means that the place that was colonized will be under one of the types of government after being colonized

As for communism and socialism those are more economic systems run by the government rather than forms of government. Yes they have lots of government control but that doesn't necessarily mean they are forms of government

It's crazy scary how Demos is properly used for People when it is translated to Demons.

Kratos is translated to what's hidden in secrecy. Kratos is the God of what's hidden hence God of War. Being based off Kratos hidden in the woods.

Cy= Sea, as in a Sea of abundance, a Sea of light, Sea of Opportunity, etc.

6:42 Oligarchy is not synonymous with wealth. It just means that only a small group of people that has full control of the government. So, therefore, wealth is not really an essential component of an oligarchy.

They can intertwine. A country doesn't have single form

How to create the ideal form of government.

First I look at what it is and is not and I use concepts of logic to entice what should Government concern and what it shouldn't.

Should government have a say about the economy. The answer is no. One of the greatest contributions to human history and development is specialization. Having certain humans do certain things. The problem with this is that they become overly reliant and can amass a lot of power. The good quality of specialization is the fact you have better qualified people and work in those areas can be done at the same time as other things, requiring less micro-control. However, the downside is that you have to deal with more people. This is why generally in many cases, people prefer an everything person, even though that it leads to more power in the hands of a person. I can inform you that it is possible to have both without it becoming an issue of too many chefs in the kitchen.

Now besides the economy, religion or philosophy and ethics is another quality of society that should be independent and the same is true for education as state-run education is a recipe of making a population easily under the control of the state.

What I recommend is having an organized society where you have a government but it only concerns qualities of society deem appropriate for it, which in turn minimizes its tyranny while maximizing its utlities as it should. What should the government have control over? Military is one very common quality that comes to mind, but another is public goods. Public goods are commodities and services in society that are nonprofitable. And lastly, there is the quality of the government that manages issues of contention between people that would not immediately fall under the market, the church or the school, if it makes it easier to understand what the other parts of society pertain to.

If we can structure this public sector adequately then we can do something similar for the market, church and school, correct? A properly organized society prevents corruption, increases efficiency and expands prosperity.

Each sector of society manages itself of its own accord, although I do believe we do people do intersect these sectors as it concerns our activities and therefore we should be able to freely engage with only enough intrusion deemed necessary to keep track of our actions in preventing ourselves from disturbing the balance between them that guarantees their independence from one another. We shouldn't want to mix market with state unless it was critical for both of them. For this we do need an oversector to help maintain the balance and to be that authority over the whole thing. It can also be involved to be that everything person, but it should be limited to prevent itself from replacing the system outright or undermining its purpose.

I call this system of government, Ratiocracy, Rule through Reason.

what are the types of government?

There are several types of government systems that exist around the world. Here are some of the most common types:

Democracy: In easy laguage it means democracy is a goverment of people avvording to law and regulation. there is a give some fundamnetal rule from goverment. In a democracy, the citizens have the right to participate in decision-making processes, and the government is accountable to the people.

Monarchy: A system in which a single person, usually a king or queen, serves as the head of state. In some cases, the monarch has absolute power, while in others, the monarch is a figurehead with limited power, and the government is run by elected officials.

Dictatorship: A form of government in which a single person, called a dictator, holds absolute power over the government and its people. In a dictatorship, there is no free speech or democracy, and the people have limited rights.

Communism: A political and economic ideology that advocates for a classless society in which all property is owned by the community, and goods and services are distributed based on need. In a communist government, the state controls the means of production and distribution of goods and services.

Socialism: A system in which the means of production are owned by the community, and goods and services are distributed based on need. In a socialist government, there is more emphasis on social and economic equality and providing basic needs to all citizens.

Federalism: A form of government in which power is divided between a central government and smaller, regional governments. In a federal system, each level of government has its own powers and responsibilities.

Great channel, thank you . I was trying to understand Africa and what kind of government organization they have. I asked what is the capital of Africa? The answer was each state is a nation and each nation has a capitol there are 54 states and 54 capitols . Each state has a form of government. Republic, Parliamentary and Monarchy.

Actually in some instances of monarchy and dictatorship theres the "maindate of heaven" and so they can rule but if they fail to bring there country to prosperity or if something happens like they lose a war or a massive natural disaster happens they are deposed and a new ruler is found..

This was done in many countries mostly Asian many years ago
