Answer:

Athens

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States is not a direct democracy; it is a republic. Citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf.

Nazi Germany was run on fascism. Opposite of democracy, the government made all the decisions and oppressed anyone who opposed them.

Great Britain is a parliamentary democracy and also a constitutional monarchy. Parliament makes most of the policies and laws in the nation.

Athens is one of the few countries in history to have a government completely decided by its citizens. The citizens could vote to decide policies without any representation. This sort of democracy was an inspiration to modern countries like the US.
