The Paint Explainer goes through 21 words we use to describe how governments work.

When people are criticizing a government, they can use any number of these terms. In fact, you can make up a word and put the Greek suffix "cracy" on it to describe a government. And you'll have to study history to find examples of these terms, and how they can change over time.

They have a sponsor now; the skippable ad runs from about 5:25 to 6:40. (via Laughing Squid)
