You know the world doesn't end at your border right?

A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a “public matter”, not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited, but are attained through democracy

Now tell me how are you excused from protecting your fellow Democracies?

Democracy in governmental terms or the word?

The difference bieng...?

A democracy in governmental terms is system of government that is decided by the majority vote of citizens, but a democracy as in the word means a free society.

In this case I am refering to Free society

Then I would agree that we have to protect it.
