Augustus made the people think Rome was still a republic by not publicly declaring himself emperor, keeping the Senate in the legal system (although tis power was only symbolic), and not giving himself a huge palace.

He did all this because he knew the public would not be happy if he was the emperor. Long ago, the Romans had sworn that they would never have another king after the bad rule of Tarquin. The Romans would have probably rebelled if he had declared himself emperor, and he also didn't want to be murdered like his great uncle, Julius Caesar.

By not declaring himself emperor, he could have all the power, and not be as afraid of revolt or assassination.

Is Taipei is a communist country?

Taipei is a city, not a country. It is the capital of the country known as Taiwan or the Republic of China. This is different to the People's Republic of China, that most people think of as being China. It claims Taiwan, but Taiwan is independent. It is a constitutional republic and people can vote, so it is democratic. It is not communist.
