Unhelpful. He wrote about 5 types of government, all, except Republic, in the poll. And a republic is like democracy with bells on.

Plato's Republic, the one he made himself, was an aristocracy run by philosophers who were shown to be the most intelligent. That's a super dumbed down version; the whole thing was far more complex and involved lots of other factors.

So let the intelligent elite run things? Not sure if you'd want that, owls aren't the smartest ever.

But otherwise ok idea.

So what is there to do on Mars? Who else is there? I'm guessing this is this is the fixed Mars.

There are many ways to interpret that. I choose to interpret it as "tiny / no government is best government".

They have no government. That could be called more competent than any government. There's certainly been no complaints.
