Remember that the series is loosely based on Chinese culture. We don't have true democracy here either, even in Hong Kong. (Half our legislators are elected, half appointed.)
But FIVE councilmen for all of Republic City?!

A series loosely based on Asian culture written with western values. This is to be expected since it's written in the west. The series is primarily Chinese, but it kind of spans the entire Asia continent along with some exceptions from North America. I.E. Inuits (even though they reside in Russia too), Mayans, and Americans. Possibly one from Africa too, the Tuareg people. It feels wrong to claim this series as strictly Chinese. And it wouldn't be out of the question for someone to invent democracy in their world.
