But without democracy, it is in no sense "the country" that chooses the policy, it's just whatever group of thugs happens to be in control of the capital city.

Democracy doesn't mean anything, if systems are rigged, and voters are effectively manipulated. And with modern software, it's getting much worse. Elections are becoming clashes of voter-manipulation systems.
