In one way, it can: If any state puts the authority of the State above the Church in matters of Faith and morality, then it is condemned by the Church for doing so. Fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany were both condemned by the Church for putting the State authority over Faith and Morality. However, so was the United States and other liberal democracies for Separation of Church and State and putting State authority over Faith and Morals in those liberal democracies.
So any government can work as long as it submits to the Church on Faith and morality. Here a re some examples: The Holy Roman Empire was a monarchy, and it submitted to the Church on Faith and Morals. So did many other Catholic European Countries. The Republic of Venice in the Middle Ages and Ecuador under Gabriel Garcia Moreno were both republics, but submitted to the Church on Faith and Morals, so those were still valid Catholic States. Both Franco of Spain and Salazar of Portugal in the 20th Century were considered dictators, but they were still legitimate leaders of Catholic States because they submitted to the Church on Faith and Morals.
The key is the natural and national State must submit to the supernatural and supranational Church on Faith and morals, or it is disordered and should be condemned by the Church.
You should moderate any naturalistic ideologies to the supernatural moral teachings of the Church in order to be Catholic. I wrote an article where I demonstrated how to do this with "far-right ideologies":

If you can order things rightly, and assent to Catholic teachings, then you are Catholic.
