And after a few years of living under such an unusual leadership system, the peasants will rise up and replace it with a system of plutocracy, thus making everybody feel better.

"Plutoarchy": rule by the Overlords of Hades, alternatively, by cartoon dogs of undefined race.

If I wanted to recreate the world of one of my favorite stories, I should be able to specify that there is a civilization called Groan, ruled by Earls from a castle called Gormanghast.
You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

I can't really tell if you actually misunderstood what Kagus said or were just being silly, but for the record, a plutocracy is rule by the rich.

It'd also keep the morons out of office, and if they were a moron, well, we did just remove them from the gene pool.
