Republic?

[Lockark]

Orks iz a democracy. A potential warboss puts himself forward for election. There is then a contest held between the two candidates (with headbutting replacing thinking). Then the orks vote by following who they think is the stronger candidate (normally because the opposition is now dead). Whilst Orks seem to govern through "oo's da biggest" and might makes right, they do flock around those they want to follow. The society/government dosn't force them to follow a specific warboss, they seem to simply choose. Sometimes there is only a choice of one because the biggest one has killed the other opponents.

Of Course Ghazagkull is a different matter. Due to his religious connotations.

Also remember. Their is also the notion of what is "orky". Orks will reject a warboss who is not holding up his obligations as warboss. (They showed it in some of the Dawn of War games when the Orks rebel ageist their warboss.)

Orkish Republics:

Closest historical equivalent is chimpanzee extended family group, warband and Banana Republic, where the Generalissimo is President for Life, while keeping a close eye on ambitious subordinates and competing interest groups and inter tribal rivalry.

So much like the US state of Arkansas then?
