Well then I guess "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" is a republic with democratically elected officials.
There isn't a single communist country, and I don't think there has ever been any. You could argue that Russia was on a path to communism in 1917, but Lenin promptly put an end to it.
At most, China used to be (but isn't any more) a socialist country.

This is basically what happens - people created "minds", computers which run their societies,but every person is provided with an infinite supply of anything they desire(it's fabricated on demand) and everything(and I mean everything) is allowed, with the exception of killing other people.

Seems you forgot about how the Arab Spring threw China into cringe mode, and arrested people like Ai Weiwei. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2011/apr/05/ai-weiwei-china-eu-dialogue http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2011...
