I'm going to... stick my neck out... and venture that republics have usually got rid of their monarchs.
Har har, yeah, point taken, but many constitutional monarchies are de facto republics. The UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, Norway. I was trying to distinguish from the hereditary monarchies that aren't republican, like the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.

No, they are just representative democracies. Which aren't coextensive with republics: you can be either without being the other.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think there's something wrong with that statement :p
