You got me on that one. I didn't know there were different phrases, I thought it was an empire, kingdom, and a republic all in one. A superpower in its best definition. If you could explain the major differences between the three
governments you mentioned, that would be great. I could probably answer your question then, but I'll attempt to explain it here.

When you think of ancient Rome, what do you think of? I think of gladiators and powerful senators and insane dictators. From my understanding, the senate held most of the power and was sometimes ultra-corrupted, while they had a new dictator who could do whatever they wanted every couple years.

I'm obviously not educated on Roman government (damn you Hollywood!), so any opinion on what their government style would be like in America is appreciated.
