    Not to be confused with Autarchy and Autarky.

    Autocracy is an authoritarian unity and absolutist ideology that believes the supreme political power to direct all the activities of the state should be concentrated in the hands of one person. He has a massive ego, is very narcissistic, and is very cruel to other ideologies.

    "What is a throne? — a bit of wood gilded and covered in velvet. I am the state— I alone am here the representative of the people. Even if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public—people wash their dirty linen at home. France has more need of me than I of France."

    Variants

      Liberal Autocracy (also called   Liberal Oligarchy) is the child of   Autocracy and   Constitutional Liberalism. Historically, the term typically referred to   non-democratic regimes which followed   liberal principles, in a similar vein to   Enlightened Absolutism.

    According to the   Brookings Institute, more contemporary liberal autocracies seek to subvert or prevent radical change, rule indirectly through the   "façade of democracy", limit freedom of speech or assembly to those who fall inside the Overton window, and elected officials have minimal accountability outside of elections.[1] In other words, liberal autocracies in the modern day tend to resemble   illiberal democracies, with key differences being a liberal autocracy's willingness to respect civil liberties and lack of support, real or otherwise, for democratic institutions.[2]

    Liberal autocracies tend to have   constitutional limits on power. Still, there is enough leeway to ensure threats to the regime can be minimized and the   court system is often stacked with loyalists. Unlike "enlightened monarchies," liberal autocracies also derive their legitimacy from the   people's will, rather than divine right.

    An historic example of this was the   Austro-Hungarian Empire.[3]   Egypt has also been described as a liberal autocracy.

    History

    There are many examples of Autocracy in history. Many ideologies have autocracy as the main part of their ideology like   Absolute Monarchism and Dictatorship. Some famous autocrats are   Adolf Hitler,   Benito Mussolini,   Ivan the Terrible,   Napoleon Bonaparte,   Diocletian,   Constantine the Great,   Hideki Tojo,   Dong Zhuo,   Francisco Franco,   Alfredo Stroessner,   Suharto and   Augusto Pinochet. While their ideologies are very different in many different ways they all have one thing in common, being autocracies.

    Beliefs

    Autocracy believes that supreme political power to direct all the activities of the state should be concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control. The autocrat can be anything from a monarch to a president.

    Personality and Behavior

    Autocracy has a massive ego. He makes everyone pretty much worship him as a god or they will execute them. He is also very cruel. He is known for using many horrific torture techniques on his citizens and on any political enemies. He is very narcissistic. This is personified by him holding and looking into a mirror and complementing himself whenever they can.

    How to Draw

    The laurel wreath and the color scheme are based on the aesthetics of the   Roman Empire, which was a quintessential autocracy.

    5. Draw the eyes and you're done!
