The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In a political system where nearly every adult may vote but where knowledge, wealth, social position, access to government officials, and other resources are unequally distributed, who actually governs?
This is the beginning of the book "The New Gilded Age: From Uniqual Democracy, written by Larry M. Bartles."
That question is posed by Robert Dahl, a scholar, and political writer.
The answer would be that in a scenario like the one described in the question, it is the political and economic power that governs in reality.
It is the men of money, the businessmen, the corporation, the political influencers through political action committees. Yes, the big money corporations that hire lobbyists to negotiate with congressmen to pass laws that favor their interests.
I believe the number is 29.

Explanation:
The Chaldeans were the migrants to Mesopotamia and were not powerful than the Assyrians and the Babylonians who had established themselves in Mesopotamia. They later associated themselves to the Assyro - Babylonian culture after the fall of Babylonia in 539 BCE. The Chaldeans often ruled as their vassals with no important power. With the establishment of power by Nabopolassar, the founder of the Chaldean Empire and the father of Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldeans established their rule in Mesopotamia. The Chaldeans became even more powerful under Nebuchadnezzar II. The sources about him are also mentioned in the Bible, book of Daniel and in those inscriptions found in Mesopotamia. Though the Bible is not favourable to him, the people of Mesopotamia praise him as a great king. By 572 BC, he was in full control of Babylonia, Chaldea, Aramea, Phonecia, Israel, Judah, Philistia, Samarra, Jordan, northern Arabia, and parts of Asia Minor. History remembers him as a great king and the creator of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which is among the seven wonders of the world.
