Government

The Government is usually how a segment of land is runned based on the belief sysytem of the people or its ruler. There are basic roots of the government.

Monarchy
The Monarchy is the rule of usually one king, but may include the queen as well.

Oligarchy
The Oligarchy is based on a class of citizens usually making the aristocrats the rulers of the land in charge while the working class and peasants end up being the minorities and usually end up loosing their dignity and rights.

Democracy
Democracy is literally the rule of the people where everyone is equal and votes to select what is just and what is unjust, although at times it may not seem likely. There is usually a leader that is elected by the people in a voting system.

Tyranny
A Tyranny holds many similarities to the Monarchy, however, a tyrant is usually known for having very harsh and cruel rulings due to the fact that the ruler is there always until he or she has died.

SMURF ME UP
In Glovey's story, Glovey ages like the Smurfs and he only thought the Monarchy existed since he was once an English boy growing up in the 16th century (1500's-1600's). As the years progress, he sees many changes due to him living longer as a Smurf. He learns about the Republic in the West and how's Democratic system was ruled by the people rather than a King or Duke. Although he sees a bit of oligarchy since there are many slaves being considered a minority and are working without any pay or even dignity. However, he is educated, and even though he hasn't seen any other body of governments, he still aware of them even though he had a coma.

Trivia
Glovey still isn't sure about the system running the Smurf villiage, although Papa Smurf claims that there isn't one because the Smurfs are considered his children, not his citizens or however the humans put it.
