    '''Aristocracy''' translating from Greek to '''Rule of the excellent''' or '''Rule of the best''' is a system of government where political power is concentrated within a relatively small class of formal nobility or gentry, a privileged ruling class, the aristocrats.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110629022358/http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50011987?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=aristocracy&first=1&max_to_show=10 "Aristocracy"] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary Oxford English Dictionary] December 1989.</ref>. The term derives from the greek ''aristokratia'' meaning the rule of the excellent.

    An alternate meaning of Aristocracy is a foreign policy opposed to the spatially-based ''[[File:Tellur.png]]'' [[Tellurocracy]] or [[File:Thalassocracy.png]] [[Thalassocracy]] where the nation gains political power in the world by excellence in a field of human endeavor (or just by being very wealthy). Arguably, this is a more stable policy because it does not rely on using military force to enforce spatial dominance.
