    The ROI is I think a social democracy rather democratic socialist. It is economically capitalist though with state intervention.

    When we are talking political science ‘state’ is political entity that exerts legal power over a territory. They may be federalised like in the USA or they may be independant (or a few other things.) It can also refer to the systems of this power, like government, legal system, and civil service including entities like police and military forces.
