===[[File:UniParti.png]] One-Party States===
One way in which particracy has been historically implemented is in the form of a '''One-Party State'''. This is also the only form of particracy that is likely to be sincerely advocated for. One-party states are states governed by one major political party, and all other parties are either banned or hold little power. While one-party states have been led by parties of many different ideologies, some of the most common examples are countries led by [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] (such as the [[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism|Communist Party of the Soviet Union]], [[File:Dengf.png]] [[Dengism|the Communist Party of China]], and the [[File:Castro.png]] [[National Communism|Communist Party of Cuba]]), [[File:Baath.png]] [[Ba'athism|Ba'athist]] or [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|fascist]] (such as the [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Nazi Party of Germany]], the [[File:Mussolini.png]] [[Fascism|National Fascist Party of Italy]], and the [[File:AusFash.png]] [[Austrofascism|Fatherland Front Party of Austria]]) parties.
====[[File:SemiAuthPar.png]] Dominant-Party System====▼
A '''Dominant-Party System''' is when one party dominates politics for a long time, allowing some degree of controlled opposition. It can be seen as a weaker, informal version of the one-party state, however, the systems they operate in are still nominally democratic and the party can be replaced, but it is usually very hard. Examples include [[File:PAP(Singapore).png]] [[Authoritarian Capitalism|People's Action Party of Singapore]], [[File:PRI.png]] [[Kleptocracy|Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico]] (historically), [[File:FIDESZ.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism|FIDESZ]], and [[File:PiS.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism|Law and Justice Party]].▼
===[[File:Twoparti.png]] Two-Party Systems===
Another way in which particracy has been historically and still currently implemented is in the form of a '''Two-Party System'''. Two-party systems are systems where two parties (usually one broadly left-leaning and one broadly right-leaning) dominate the political landscape, with power shifting back and forth between both. While other parties often hold some seats in the legislature, they are unlikely to be a significant enough bloc, with coalition governments being rare. Countries like the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States are extreme examples where third party or independent representatives are almost non-existent at both the federal and state level. This has resulted in both parties having different ideological factions in the hopes of somewhat increasing political diversity and having a more broad appeal. This is usually the result of a traditional first-past-the-post voting system, where high amounts of tactical voting due to it being a plurality-based system will result in most people only voting for one of the two parties (otherwise known as Duverger's law), but this isn't necessarily the case;
====[[File:Parti.png]] Codominant-Party System====▼
A '''Codominant-Party System''' is when the same several, usually two, parties dominate politics for a long time. It can be seen as a weaker, informal version of the two-party system,
