new government type for your SEIV empire
 

I don't think I ever saw SEIV empire with this one:

Kakistocracy
-------------------------------------------------------
Kakistocracy is derived from the Greek kakistos, the superlative of kakos (κακό&#962 ;) meaning bad. The word literally means "government by the worst elements of society." While not a true form of government, it is instead a term for any system of management controlled by the least competent, least qualified, most unreliable, or the most evil members of a society.

The term is used by critics of an established government, and not in scholarly analysis or academic research.

Kakistocracy is not used to describe governments run by persons whose primary motivation is graft---the word for that is kleptocracy. However, the two are not entirely mutually exclusive, as it is possible to be both bad and greedy.

Good description of average western democracy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yep. Our horrible civil rights and freedoms are obviously being pushed on us by corrupt and degenerate governments.

Or, you know, you could apply it to the average eastern despot.

Khakistocracy: a government that makes everybody wear khaki pants.
