Ideology: Most nations follow a form of dictatorship much like the Capitol. The Nile republic is ruled by an emperor,the petty kingdoms are mostly ruled by warlords, Saudi Arabia is ruled by a king,the ukrain is ruled by a Grand prince, china is ruled by a dictator, and despite being technically a democracy great britian has been in a state of martial law for 300yrs.Many of the dictators took steps to ensure their power, such as banning and persicuting religion(this is the reason the vatican shifted its holy see to Brazil).However, there are still a few democracies left. These include Ireland, the japano- South Korean republic,the free Chinese army, Australia, India,Brazil, and Argentina(Israel is a constutional theocracy). The mockingjays uprising, and the resulting, republic, probably tipped the political balance and set the stage for wwiii.
