    Democracy seems at least somewhat broken but what else do we have?

Some Italian city-states used demarchy (policy juries); the Quakers and kibbutzim used parpolity or sociocracy (cellular democracy); and many pre-historical societies used kritarchy (policy judges).

There are, of course, many other options, but I thought these were some of the more interesting ones.
