There are no true democracies. There are three major regimes (a system or style of government)
totalitarian regimes ... relating to or operating a centralized government system in which a single party without opposition rules over political, economic, social, and cultural life
democratic regimes ... the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of government, often practiced by electing representatives of the people by the majority of the people
authoritarian regimes ... belonging to or believing in a political system in which obedience to the ruling person or group is strongly enforced
The U.S. is a (democratic) Republic

Sorry, there are no types.
Democracy comes from Greek words meaning "people rule". No modern country is a democracy, nor have any of them ever been. The U.S. was founded as a representative government; that is, we elect persons to represent us BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT.
Some of the American Indian tribes WERE democracies...

At present there are no democracies on earth. In the past the closest anybody has come is in hunter/gather groups.

Namewise there are federal democracies, republican democracies and democracies. Technically though their is only one. Democracy means people's government, literally. And their is only one type of government like that.
