It depends on you strictly you define the term 'democracy.'
If you are talking about a 'true democracy' where all issues are settled by the popular vote and there are no representatives (no Congress, Parliament, Assembly, etc). Then these generally implode in a few years because they simply do not work in anything larger than a small city.
If you are using the term 'democracy' to describe any form of government that bases its legitimacy on free elections - then yes, there are many.

USA is not a democracy. Rome had a form of democracy that lasted 400 years and Greece had a form of it but we all know what happened to them.

USA IS NOT! It is a republic of that is "supposed" To use a form of democracy to elect representative government! However currently that is a smoke & mirror show cause nobody has the means to validate/prove/verify their ballot cast! Rome used another form of Democracy!
