Proposal: 4 axis model for classifying regimes for analyzing / predicting them. Axis 1: Power holders - Single, Group, Mass Axis 2: Power openness - Hidden, Open Axis 3: Formality - Formal, Informal Axis 4: Ruling cohesion basis - Priest, Warrior, Merchant
If you can have an open, informal that's a point in favor of having both. Hidden, formal is also possible (think mafia) but not sure if a government with those traits can be found.

Singapore was openly informal in that LKW was the King but never had the title. FDR's USG was openly informal in that he was the single leader but the structure was whomever he favored regardless of formal title.
