==Beliefs==
Kraterocracy, derived from the Greek word "kratos" meaning "strength" or "power," establishes a system of governance fundamentally based on the principle that power and strength are the ultimate determinants of authority and legitimacy. The expression [[File:Mightmakesright.png]] "might makes right" is the core tenet of this system, suggesting that those who are capable of asserting their dominance—either through physical force, manipulation, or other forms of coercion—are justified in their rule.

=== Racism and Sexism ===
Kraterocratic ideologies frequently incorporate and institutionalize [[File:
Sexism in kraterocratic systems often manifests in patriarchal structures where [[File:Fem.png]] women are systematically excluded from positions of power and decision-making. Societies governed by such principles may enforce strict gender roles, limit women's rights, and maintain laws and practices that subordinate women, reinforcing the power of a dominant male elite, often justified through notions of natural gender differences.

The Timurid Empire, founded by [[File:Timur.png]] Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) in the late 14th century, represented a formidable polity extending across [[File:PanAsian.png]] Central Asia, [[File:Cball-Iran.png]] Iran, and the [[File:PanArab.png]] Middle East. Timur, a Turco-Mongol conqueror, initially ascended to power in Transoxiana, now modern [[File:Cball-Uzbekistan.png]] Uzbekistan, and subsequently expanded his realm through a series of military campaigns characterized by [[File:Kraterwithsword.png]] significant brutality. His conquests encompassed regions such as [[File:Cball-ImperialStateOfIran.png]] Persia, [[File:Cball-Assyria.png]] Mesopotamia, and parts [[File:Cball-India.png]] of India. Despite the violent nature of its expansion, the Timurid Empire became renowned for its cultural and architectural contributions, with Samarkand emerging as a preeminent center for art, science, and notable architectural achievements, including the Gur-e Amir mausoleum.
Timur's authority was firmly established on his exceptional military capabilities and his strategic acumen in maintaining control over extensive territories. The administrative framework of the empire heavily relied on military leaders, often appointed as regional governors, ensuring that governance was maintained through the constant threat or application of force. This form of rule underscored the principle of [[File:Mightmakesright.png]] "might makes right," where dominance and control were legitimized by sheer military strength.
Timur's legitimacy as a ruler did not stem from [[File:Monarch.png]] [[Monarchism|hereditary succession or divine right]] but rather from his demonstrated ability to conquer and maintain dominance. His reign exemplified the notion that power and authority could be secured and justified through military prowess and strategic brilliance. While the Timurid Empire left a significant legacy of cultural and architectural achievements, it also stands as a historical testament to the ruthless application of force and the belief that might indeed confers the right to rule.
Line 265 ⟶ 264:
The Law of the Jungle, a fictional concept from Rudyard Kipling's ''The Jungle Book'', describes a code of conduct for animals in the jungle, particularly emphasizing pack dynamics. Phrases like "...For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack..." underscore the mutual dependence and individual responsibility within the pack. Power and leadership are based on strength and the ability to dominate, reflecting a natural hierarchy governed by physical prowess and hunting skills.
In broader terms, the Law of the Jungle signifies an environment where the absence of civilized laws allows the strongest to prevail, encapsulated by the idea of "kill or be killed." This brutal reality mirrors Kraterocracy, where [[File:Mightmakesright.png]] might makes right, and those who can assert their power and strength rise to positions of control. The jungle law embodies a primal form of governance, emphasizing survival and power dynamics dictated by strength.
Kipling's portrayal of the wolves' pack dynamics and the broader interpretation of jungle law both encapsulate the essence of Kraterocracy. Power is inherently tied to strength, whether through individual attributes or collective force, and the strongest hold sway. This natural law underscores the fundamental principle of Kraterocracy: that in the absence of formalized structures, the strongest dictate the rules of survival and governance.

=== [[File:SithOrder.png]] Sith Order (Star Wars) ===
The Sith Order within the Star Wars universe embodies a complex amalgamation of ideologies and practices, fundamentally rooted in the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_side_of_the_Force Dark Side of the Force] (also known as Bogan, or "the shadow"). Central to their ethos is the concept of Kraterocracy, where power is attained and maintained through ruthless strength and cunning, epitomizing the notion that [[File:Mightmakesright.png]] "might makes right." This hierarchical structure, perpetuated by the [[File:Diarchy.png]] [[Diarchy|Rule of Two]] established by [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Bane Darth Bane], fosters a culture of internal strife and cutthroat competition, ensuring that only the most formidable Sith ascend to positions of authority. At its core, the Sith Order is characterized by its embrace of [[File:Indiv.png]] individualism and the glorification of personal power, often leading to a [[File:Cultism.png]] [[Cultism|cult-like devotion]] to the Dark Side and the pursuit of domination. This cultism is further reinforced by elements of [[File:FashMyst.png]] [[Esoteric Fascism|Fascist Mysticism]], wherein Sith Lords like [[File:Sheev.png]] [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Sidious Darth Sidious] employ [[File:Mach.png]] [[Machiavellianism|Machiavellian]] tactics, manipulating both allies and enemies to further their own ambitions and maintain control. [[File:Imp.png]][[File:Galactic_Empire.png]] [[Imperialism]] is a hallmark of Sith ideology, with the belief that the galaxy should be subjugated under their rule, often through oppressive regimes and the institution of [[File:Slavery.png]] [[Caste System|slavery]].
[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Maul Darth Maul] exemplifies the Sith's penchant for [[File:Klep.png]] [[Kleptocracy]], using his power to plunder and amass wealth for personal gain. Conversely, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Vectivus Darth Vectivus] embodies a form of [[File:Nazcap-Hat.png]] [[National Capitalism]], where economic power is wielded alongside Force abilities to enrich oneself. [[File:Nihil.png]] [[Anarcho-Nihilism|Nihilism]] finds expression through figures like [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Nihilus Darth Nihilus], whose insatiable hunger for power and destruction reflects a profound disregard for life and morality. [[File:Psychopathy.png]] Psychopathy is also prevalent among Sith lords, with traits of manipulation, violence, and a lack of empathy defining their actions.
