Government type (1st Tiberium War)

During the First Tiberium War, EVA for both Nod and the GDI classified nations governments into a number of categories. The known categories are as follows.

Republic
Republic is an amorphous term that appears to refer to governments which have certain democratic and popular trappings but are in reality a form of semi-dictatorship. There are a number of ways that an ostensibly democratic government could be a Republic instead, such as.
 * Rigged Elections
 * Disqualifaction of parties and candaidates from the political roll at behest of the government or judiciary on ideological grounds.
 * Systematic persecution of political opponants.
 * Abuse of emergancy powers by the executive.
 * Restriction of the electoral role to exclude certain ethnic groups, social classes or regions.
 * Jerrymandering, altering electoral boundries to achieve the desired result or majority for the ruling party.
 * Refusal to hold elections when constitutionally or traditionally due.
 * Refusal to obey written laws or constitutions by the government machinery

This was a very common government type during the First Tiberium War, it could be surmised that the international conflict between the GDI and Nod positively encouraged the political degeneration of nations into Republics.
