'''Mediocracy''', or explicitly '''Rule of the Mediocre''', is a form of government where a class of mediocre individuals are more dominant in society. While this ideology is mostly a joke, one could make the argument that the average person in society is its best representative and as such should control the nation. It could be said that it is a less extreme form of [[File:Kak.png]] [[Kakistocracy]] (which wants society to be ruled by the least competent, as opposed to just the mediocre). It's a semi-pejorative term referring to leaders who didn't do anything exceptional (good or bad), and remain forgotten about.

==Personality==

Judging from its name, they're mediocre, and as such, forgettable. Their best friends are [[File:Moder.png]] [[Moderatism]] and [[File:Anrad.png]] [[Anti-Radicalism]]. He only prefers songs based on how popular or relevant they are.

==How to Draw==

#Draw a ball.

#Fill in it with blue(#4C87FF).

#Draw a white triangle pointing up, but not all the way up to the ball.

#Draw a blue crown in the triangle.

#Draw in the eyes.

#You're done!

*[[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism]] (Lysenkoism) - Thanks for letting me dictate agricultural policy, Stalin!

===Anomalies===

*[[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] - You're not a normal person and reject the very concept of ruling.

*[[File:Technocracy.png]] [[Technocracy]] and [[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] [[Scientocracy]] - Too smart!
