Explain the Civic Combinations

Disclaimer: this thread is by no means intended as criticism of DoC and Leoreth, just some good fun.

OK, we all agree that the DoC civic names are a bit strange. So, let's try to explain the weird combinations and differences.

What is

Universal Suffrage/Forced Labor
Egalitarianism/Forced Labor

What's the difference between

Supreme Council, Universal Suffrage and Representation under Totalitarianism (a dubious concept in itself)

and the same systems under Egalitarianism and Capitalism?

Mind you, renaming Totalitarianism into Militarism (and buffing it, since few players or AI's use it, and with good reason) makes much more sense.

In fact, what does Supreme Council represent at all? What's the difference between Republic/Supreme Council and Republic/Universal Suffrage?

Also, what is "Capitalism/State Property"? "State capitalism", Tony Cliff-style, is a bit too broad a category and operates from different political premises. Dirigisme? Modern China?

What is Universal Suffrage, but without Republic? Is the modern UK "Dynasticism/Universal Suffrage"? What is "Autocracy/Universal Suffrage"? Some sort of "hyper-Presidential" republic, Peron-style?
