Task 3-Use the link to the interactive map to find examples of countries that have the following types of governments. (10pts.) http://www.mapsofworld.com/thematic-maps/types-of-governments.html
· Keep in mind that actual systems of government are not always easily categorized and can be misrepresented. Though we use the labels of monarchy, theocracy, dictatorship or democracy, government characteristics often overlap and are inconsistent. (ONLS G6 C.S SS 10)
· For example, some governments labeled as democracies might have some of the characteristics of dictatorships, as is the case with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), which in reality is a communist state led by a dictator. (ONLS G6 C.S SS 10)
· Some countries may use a combination of two governmental systems. For instance, the United Kingdom has a royal family, which suggests a monarchy, but as a constitutional monarchy is in practice much closer to a democracy. (ONLS G6 C.S SS 10)
