There is no state on the planet that doesn't have a constitution of some sort, whether stated explicitly, like us or China, or implied, like GB. Plus, most nations on the planet are Republics by definition, even those that have lifetime dictators, the exception are the few that still have Kings, Queens, and Emporers, like Japan, GB, Netherlands, or Nepal. A democratic republic is a country where representatives that choose policy are elected by the PEOPLE, a direct democracy is where the people micromanage most policy decisions. The point is, if you vote, and you have a choice between candidates and/or parties, you live in a democracy. Constitutions are for things such as actual form, such as a unicameral/bicameral legislature, and also about protecting rights of minorities, such as our Bill of Rights.
