well, i couldn't find a good solid definition, but i did find a new 'Declaration of Independence' for a group wanting it to become a imperial republic http://imperialrepublic.net/index.html from what they said, im guessing it would be a republic with a powerful president

What is referred to as the Ancient Roman Empire was an imperial republic after Augustus. One could argue that America has been an imperial republic since 1898. All that is required is that the government be a republic and have an empire.

A Republic is a state where "the public" is the sovereign and not a monarch. It does not imply the political, electoral, or legal equality of citizens, but only that the citizens have some say (though by no means an equal say) in the management of State affairs, and no single person or clique holds arbitrary unlimited authority. Mere honorary and traditional titles aside, an empire is not a state ruled by an emperor, but a state that dominates and even subjugates other states, nations, and peoples, exercizing arbitrary and unlimited (by law at least) authority over them. Thus an imperial republic is a state with a republican form of government at home, that also exercizes imperial authority over other lands and peoples. Rome under the Republic (and arguably under the Principate) was such, as were Venice, Genoa, Britain under the Protectorate, the United Provinces (the Netherlands before Napoleon), all of the French Republics, and the U.S.A.. Arguably another definition of an imperial republic would be an absolute democracy: "the dictatorship of the majority" where the majority can decree anything it likes. Still another would be Fascism (Musolini's, not Hitler's racist and ethnic distortion of it) where "the State (meaning the body politic, not the goverment) is All." All citizens are members (not just constituents - but more like body-parts) of the society, and full participants in the society and its governance, and beneficiaries of it, AND the authority of the society is absolute and unlimited. It's essentially a collectivist and totalitarian "democracy," all be it one where the will of the people is channeled and exercized by "the leader".

Great Britain was such a republic in 19 century, along with Russia an France. However, I believe that there are some impurities of imperialism in Great Britain. The last proof is the Shell Oil Company affair in South America - Thousands of people murdered and ethnic cleaning of tribes, just to get oil fields. If imperialism ''is the stage of capitalism where financial capital takes dominance in a country and may mean to other peoples and countries'', than we must agree there are lots of countries that are imperialistic republics, whether we like it, call it that way or not.
