What would be some alternate words for existing government types if the English language developed differently?

For example there is the -ocracy suffix of democracy, plutocracy, autocracy. What if there was a Presidentocracy, would that imply a more executive type of republic than usual?

The -ate suffix of emirate, sultanate, consulate, despotate. Maybe there could be a Ministrate or a Monarchate? A Ducate (duchy)?

Confederation and federation, what if there was a Subjugation? Like a Mongolian horde turned into a modern government.

Duchy, County, and Presidency. Why not call an Empire a Caesary, or call a Republic a Populary?
