Republica is a term that generally refers to a form of government in which power resides with the people or their elected representatives. In a republic, officials are accountable to the citizens and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over citizens. This system contrasts with monarchies, where a single ruler holds power. In addition to its political meaning, Republica is also the name of a popular electronic music band from Romania. Formed in the late 1990s, the band is known for its catchy melodies and energetic performances, contributing to the vibrant music scene in Eastern Europe.
