The head of state doesn't necessarily has a say in politics. All laws are still made by elected politicians.

Then it's republic.

No. Just look at Great Britain as an example. They are a parlamentaric monarchy. The head of state is the King/queen. He doesn't has a say in politics, but represents the country. He isn't elected. All laws passed in the UK are worked out and passed by the elected Parlament.

Being a republic just means, that the head of state isn't a king/queen. It has nothing to do with democracy.

He doesn't has a say in politics, but represents the country.

So is he monarch or honorable pensioner?
