I think we have had royalty and "democracy".

I think you have been watching too many films. I don't think people act as a mob, overthrowing anyone.

The governance structure doesn't really accept any real inputs from you and I. They are a bloodline.

You get to vote in a 'representative democracy' where your vote every 5 years is aggregated with 100k+ of other to choose one of 2 candidates, who then purports to represent you in the thousands of decisions he makes over his term.

I get the sense that you just aren't familiar with any nations that actually have coups. Here, a list — it's very, very long, and most entries are from the last 50 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coups_and_coup_attempt...

Which ones of those do you think are ones where the anarchic mob attempts to 'found a new country'?
