Government

A government is the main driving force behind a country. This page attempts to serve as a glossary of types of government, including ones known before and introduced into the Norfverse.

Already Existing

 * Monarchy: The country is ruled by a king, queen or other form of royalty, or t he country is majorly occupied by a royal court or other type.
 * Aristocracy: The country is ruled by a person or group that are "aristocrats", being seen fit to rule the country.
 * Oligarchy: The country is ruled by a specific group of people, distinguished through whatever the country deems fit.
 * Democracy: Generally, a country ruled by the people. Several variations:
 * Constitutional democracy: The leader of the country's authority goes along with whatever was drafted in the country's constitution.
 * Republic: The country's government is considered "public matters", meaning it is open to the people who can decide the fate of the nation.
 * Theocracy: A deity or god rules over the country. The country may optionally be ruled by a person who the gods have deemed fit.
 * Anarchy: There is little to no form of government for the country. Often the least stable or even outright on the verge of collapse.
 * Autocracy: Only one person has full control over the country. Synonym with dictatorship.

New and Hip

 * Protocarchy: The country, although it has a recent leader, is considered to be led by their predecessor.
 * Oligartocracy: A small group of aristocrats (or if you want to be more specific, the chosen aristocrats) lead the country.
 * Freelancer: The country is ruled by one person, who both serves as the ruler and put themselves as the ruler.
 * Reanarchopublic: There is little to no government, maybe a ruler at most, who personally publishes or reveals what goes on in the government. This is one of the rarest forms of government.
 * Federation: Several groups of government exist, for varying reasons. Theoretically the United States could be considered one. Although this is an existing form of government in real life, "federation" tends to be subjective.
