A country ruled by an assembly of citizens rather than a king is often referred to as a republic or a democracy. In these systems, power is vested in elected representatives or directly in the hands of the people, allowing for collective decision-making. This contrasts with monarchies, where a single ruler holds power. Examples of such countries include the United States and France.
