AUTHORITARIANISM



eWiki Definition: Authoritarianism describes a form of government characterized by an emphasis on the authority of the state in a republic or union. It is a political system controlled by non elected rulers who usually permit some degree of individual freedom.


Implementation in eRepublik:

1. Democratic system with illiberal and authoritarian features or even proper dictatorships if it's needed.
2. Existence of a ruling class who exercises tyranny of the majority, where opposition isn't taken into account and is vilfied.
3. Government in a context of "close society", where all important decisions are taken privately, preferably without taking the Congress into account.
