your democracy isn't exactly less corrupt than ours nb: i know you claim you're a republic, but you don't even know what it means, so the fact remains you're a representative democracy (which is utter fucking shit, always), like most of the west, and certainly not a republic (can't have a republic and state secrets, for instance, by definition) and we can't be the bottom of the barrel, since you only came to exist by our volition, which makes us above you, de facto
