Nounrepublic (plural republics)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A republic is a form of government in which at least a part of its people have some element of formal control over its government,, and in which the head of state is not a monarch The word "republic" is derived from the Latin phrase res publica, which can be translated as "a public affair". Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition. The most common definition of a republic is a state without a monarch. In republics such as the United States and France, the executive is legitimated both by a constitution and by popular suffrage. In the United States, James Madison defined republic in terms of representative democracy as opposed to direct democracy, and this usage is still employed by many viewing themselves as "republicans". In modern political science, republicanism refers to a specific ideology that is based on civic virtue and is considered distinct from ideologies such as liberalism. Most often a republic is a sovereign country, but there are also subnational entities that are referred to as republics, or which have governments that are described as "republican" in nature. For instance, Article IV of the Constitution of the United States "guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government." The Soviet Union was a single nation composed of distinct and nominally sovereign Soviet Socialist Republics. Niccolò Machiavelli described the governance and foundation of the ideal republic in his work Discourses on Livy. These writings, as well as those of his contemporaries such as Leonardo Bruni, are the foundation of the ideology political scientists call republicanism. From Wikipedia under the

In the past few years, the relationship with sinn fein has been rather cool. this is mainly because the governing party. fianna fail, has traditionally regarded itself as the 'REAL' republican party. sinn fein has only 5 seats in the republic'S parliament(166 SEATS) and is fast losing influence with the voters in the republic, since its views on economics, foreign affairs etc. are too far left. since the 'Good friday' agreement, sinn fein has mainly been seen as a 'One trick pony' and is being largely ignored by voters south of the border.

Q. How much does it cost to export candy (eg. Clodhoppers) from Canada to the Czech Republic? By that, I am how much as the costs shipping from the factory to the final consumer in the Czech Republic, including shipping, insurance, middlemen, taxes, importers, and distribution.

With price differences between places like Canada and the Czech Republic it wouldn't be worth while. You would either lose money selling at local prices, or lose money because you have set a profit making price that is well above local prices.
