States governed by elected or collective civic institutions rather than a monarch, whose own polity has since ended, spanning antiquity to the twentieth century. Belongs here: the Roman Republic, the revolutionary-era Commonwealth of England, the early modern Dutch Republic and interwar Germany's Weimar Republic. Does not belong here: a republic governing today, filed under Modern Sovereign Republics, and a monarchy, filed under Kingdoms and Principalities, Empires and Imperial States or Modern Monarchies as its own form requires.
