Yeah alright. Just gonna bring Masked Commie Wizard in for the third time.

Also, a bit of a nitpick, but: 

[quote]The Republic of Magic is the governing body of the United States of America’s wizarding community. While it is called the Republic of Magic, it is actually a democracy. In colonial times, it might have truly been a republic, but the government has shifted slightly. However, because the government has not officially been stated as a democracy, the name remains to be the Republic of Magic.[/quote]
It'd still be a republic. State power is held by elected officials rather than by a ruling monarch. A lot of republics tend to be democracies due to the power being vested in the people (who then vote in the officials).
