    Yup those are all European or European-colonial nations.

    You don’t see countries such as Saudi Arabia, Morocco or Cambodia on that list do you?

      So, what’s you point?

      I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘republics’ and a list of strong democracies that many/most of which are a constitutional monarchy of some flavour or another.

        And I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘constitutional monarchies’ of some flavour or another.

        My point is that you’re using correlation to prove causation.

          You are arguing from ignorance. The terms republic and democracy and so on have rather solid definitions in political science. Republic is not a very informative descriptor of the poltical system of a country, it just means that the role of head of state in’t heritable, ie. that it isn’t a monarchy. The actual political system of a republic can be basically anything except a monarchy.
