• Authoritarian Regime: A repressive regime headed by one singular dictator, though may include some other influential figures.
• Hybrid Regime: Combination of both Authoritarian and Democratic elements, although largely leans towards Authoritarianism.
• Closed Democracy: Democracy, but voting only available for a closed group of people (of whatever size).
• Flawed Democracy: Democracy with elections, although it has questionable validity and/or censorship of somekind.
• Democracy: Full Democracy with free and fair elections.

note about sizhou, it used to be a hybrid regime before collective assimilated its govt but since collective is kinda a democracy it's a closed democracy since its government is a democratic entity though on the world stage it'd probably still be treated as a hybrid regime coonsidering no one knows zat happened except like, the few govenrment members involved with the contact mission thing that havent been assimilated

note about ASSU: even though its government is highly centralized into a few leading figures, it has personal freedoms generally at the same level as your standard democracy
