Authoritarian Government An authoritarian government is a political system in which political authority is concentrated in one person or a small group. A monarchy, for example, is rule by an individual who achieves power through inheritance. An oligarchy is rule by the few.

Saudi Arabia is a Monarchy Born 1935 King Salman is the ruler of Saudi Arabia. He rules by decree although in practice major decisions reflect a consensus of the royal family. Salman has appointed a nephew as crown prince. King Salman of Saudi Arabia

Cuba is Authoritarian Who are these guys? The Castro brothers have ruled Cuba since the early 1960s. Fidel Castro, on the right, died last fall. Raul Castro, born in 1931, continues to be the president of Cuba.

Iran is Authoritarian Political power in Iran is held by a group of religious leaders.
