Who's laws would visitors abroad observe? Who would have jurisdiction over crimes or torts committed against this foreigner's person and property? Who would have jurisdiction over crimes or torts committed by the foreigner?

So are de facto regimes really just "conservative democracies", since they don't have periodic elections?

I ask again: how can a government be representative if it lacks a mechanism for the people to replace those representatives?

We're both free to infer whatever we like.
