What is difference between democratic and republic countries?

A democracy is a form of government, where the average person has a direct say, or vote, in the everyday affairs of the government. The city-state of Athens, in ancient Greece, is a prime example. A republic is a form of government where the average person is represented by someone else in the above-mentioned affairs. These representatives essentially cast their vote, which represents an entire area of the country or a group of people the representatives represent. Prime example of this, is the United States, a democratic republic; very different from a democracy. Not every republic is democratic in nature, though it may be advertised as such. Many totalitarian nations such as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the People's Republic of China (Communist Mainland China) and the late Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Communist Russia and various satellite states) like to put those words in the name of their country to give its citizens the illusion of choice and freedom. These countries may have a republic as a functioning government, however the elections are usually posed and not "free" or "fair" in even the vaguest sense of the words.
