Kleptocracy

Kleptocracy, literally meaning Rule of Thieves and in the context of Polcompball also known as Anocracy is an ideology used to describe a form of Government in which power is held primarily by Criminals, Corrupt Officials, Self-interested post-party oligarchs and such. Kleptocracy is often found in countries that collapsed after  being  Marxist–Leninist One-Party States and transitioned rather unsuccessfully, an infamous case is  Russia.

Liberal democracies can also suffer from this they might develop shadow kleptocracies that influence the government through legal means such as lobbying or illegal means such as bribery in order to gain favors from government officials. This phenomenon is called corruption.

This ideology ball could be seen as libertarian right but unlike other librights, he does not like competition. As a matter of fact, he prefers to form  oligarchies to preserve his existing economic power through  Plutocracy  or  Corporatocracy.

History
W.I.P.

Foundations
The mechanisms of the state government are devoted almost entirely to taxing the resources and the population of the country, by means of taxes, diversion of funds, etc. The leaders of the system enlarge great personal fortunes, especially the highest position of head of state (like the president or prime minister), along with those closest to them such as ministers, governors, mayors and personal advisers. The money is laundered or diverted to secret bank accounts, usually in tax havens, as a cover for embezzlement or theft.

The economies of kleptocratic regimes tend to decline constantly, as the systematic corruption engendered by the government means that the economy is subordinate to the interests of the kleptocrats.

Historically, the socio-political environment associated with the colonial system - the domination of colonized countries, where their economies are very vulnerable as they depend on a small number of raw materials - has been particularly prone to the creation of the last kleptocracies: Africa, Latin America and also Post-Soviet states are the most prone regions.

The stealthy nature of corruption makes it difficult to combat, as there is often very little information about the identity of the corrupt. Furthermore, in many developing countries, the institutions that monitor corruption are themselves corrupt, and the media are ineffective in reporting such acts.

Personality
Kleptocracy is immensely shady and will do almost anything to get as much money and power as possible. Unlike the libertarian right ideologies, he openly advocates for an  authoritarian state to preserve his power with minor concessions to the people to keep them satisfied, whether this be appeals to social conservatism or liberal welfare with a lot of red tape. In essence, he should be portrayed as offering protection solely if there are huge clauses attached, not unlike a gangster offering protection, hence him being portrayed as a prisoner.
