South Africa (1948 - 1994):

• White people held all political power (minority rule, oligarchy) while representatives were elected (though non - whites had no influence, so also a form of Oligarchy) and with representative elements (but dominated by a small group), so forms are Oligarchy and Representative Democracy (note: the representative aspect was limited to whites).

North Korea:

• One man leads, ruling party controls, candidates have no opponents (single - party state with authoritarian control), so the form is Authoritarian (or Single - Party State) (more precisely, it is a Democratic People's Republic in name, but in practice, the ruling party has dominant control, often categorized as an Authoritarian Regime or Single - Party State).

Saudi Arabia:

• Led by a king (monarchy) and governed based on Islamic law (theocracy), so forms are Monarchy and Theocracy.

Denmark:
