It can't get any clearer than that.
A democracy is a government that is elected by the people.
I don't think I live in the "Government"
Although some of you have your heads so far up their ass a case can be made, maybe BeanBrain is right?

You are making an argument that depends on your claim to rigid control on the meaning of words. The language is used more loosely, and you aren't in charge of it. Calling one's nation a democracy, if popular elections choose the main governing officials, is ordinary and accurate.
