An independent republic is a republic that has its own laws, taxation, social systems, ect. In other words, it is a republic that has sovereignty over itself.
A good way to define a "republic" is "anything that's NOT a monarchy. There are several types of republics and, although they are very different, they are all similar by one factor: the lack of a monarch (or king, queen, ect.)
Types of Republics:
(All are independent so long that they are not governed by another state)
Dictatorship- A single person has absolute power but is not a monarch. (Most of the time they have militaristic or religious backgrounds)
Oligarchy- Similar to a dictatorship but instead of one ruler, there may be a group of rulers. If this group were militaristic in nature it would be a "junta" and if it were racial or any other type of minority it would be called a "apartheid."
Democracy- The citizens of the state have the power over the government. The U.S. is a representitive democracy since its leader are elected to represent the people. If is were a "true" or "pure" democracythe citizens themselves would vote on every issue that Congress does now. This would be nice but it is very impractical.
Side note: A "totalitarian system" is a government where all power is concentrated to the center. It can be either a republic or a monarchy, usually bound by a constitution, and most commonly seen in communist systems.
