Not to be confused with
Mediacracy.
"Don’t set out to raze all shrines—you’ll frighten men. Enshrine mediocrity—and the shrines are razed."
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 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
