Oligarchy (Rule by a Small Group) Examples  Military Dictatorship (rule by the military) China: The Communist Party (not Xi Jinping) Fiji: Military Forces (not Commodore Frank Bainimarama)  Theocracy (rule by religious hierarchy) The Vatican: The Roman Catholic Church/Pope Benedict XVI Iran: Islamic Assembly of Experts/Ayatollah Khamenei  PlutocracyAristocracy (rule by the elite or the rich) Nowhere ?

Anarchy (Nobody Rules) Anarchy is only a temporary condition, until some person or group assumes control and imposes rules. Anarchy generally occurs when an existing government falls apart or is destroyed.  Iraq: ‘temporarily’ after the U.S. toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003  Somalia: throughout much of the last 20 years  Libya: is this country moving into a state of anarchy? “Anarchists” are an active force in many places in the US and the world today.
