Were there any democracies in Middle-Earth?


Most states in Middle Earth seem to be feudalish kingdoms. Gondor, Rohan, Numenor, Dwarves, and Elves were all ruled by hereditary nobles.


Was there any state/society that was more of a democracy/republic? (Umbar perhaps?)


If not, did Tolkien indicate why, other than most of the sagas and myth he was imitating being set in kingdoms?
