I think technically it always was a republic but that's not a huge difference. I'm not sure what the difference is but for sure it wasn't a democracy on Nov 3. That was a kleptocracy. I used to be a kleptomaniac but I took something for it. Ta Da.

So what inspired your name? Sounds like a Roman emperor or empress but I'm not asking which.
