Re: Polls
> Sparta was another noted democracy,
??? they were ??? 
My spartan skills are a bit limited, but I've never heard anyone calling them a democracy before.
I would have placed Rome as a middle ground between Athen and Sparta, but I might be wrong. |

Re: Polls
Sparta was an oligarchy that had democratic elements in it. I think they had an elected king that was voted on by the elders of some number of families or something.

Re: Polls
Well at least they didn't name an Emperor because some watery bint lobbed a scimitar at his head.

Re: Polls
Having a true democracy implies everyone bothers about politics, so, reality being what it is, I guess we can
call the spartan system democratric. Or any system.
