I was born and live in the USA but I am extremely unhappy with the way my country is going so I choose to play under the flag of my ancestors. At least for 3.5 more years.
This post is very confusing. Monarchy and democracy are governmental systems. Socialism is an economic system.
Idealized versions of capitalism and democracy are just that. The U.S. is not--and never has been--either a democracy nor a capitalistic economic system.
Nor does any of that have to do with nationalism.

hey net, that's a Kurdish flag. nice one. a buddy of mine got me a handmade Kurdish flag during his time in Iraq.
Tried to find some Scots waving flags but most of them were x-rated.
Think (flags) quite a fun part of chess.com.
Yeah, this place would suck without 'flags.

i wasn't actually trying to give a dissertation on economic or governmental systems. Forgive my mixing of metaphores as it were. I was just saying that varieties of people choose different ways of living and use flags as a way of showing identity and individuality. You are correct about the US though.
How would you classify the governmental and economic systems in the US? I'm curious and you sound knowledgable.
"I'm curious and you sound knowledgable."
Ha! I'm a dumbass hillbilly boy prone to speaking out of my ass.
To answer your questions, though: The U.S. gov't is a republic. The economic system is an amalgam. I guess socialistic describes it best.
I can hear Neal thinkin' from here: "Party? What's a party?"
