North Korea is a Republic. Communist China is a republic. The Soviet Union was a republic. Russia is a republic.

None of them are democratic.

Canada is not a republic. The United Kingdom is not a republic.

Those countries are democracies.

The United States is a republic... And a democracy.

All that being a republic means is that you are not governed by a monarch. Whether or not you are a democracy is completely orthogonal to whether or not you are a republic.
