The worst form of government in Civilization 3. You suffer from massive amounts of corruption and waste, and any square producing more then 2
commerce, food, or
shields produces one less. Research your way to Republic or
Monarchy ASAP.

The name for
dictators in small countries that think they are more important than they are. The term comes from how children play
soldier by putting a kitchen pot on their heads to make people think they are real soldiers.
Tinpot despots have a lot less influence in the world than they think they do. They often use military forve to get what they want.
Example:
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and
Muammar al-Gaddafi of Libya are considered
tinpot despots. Sudan, Eritrea, Chad, and
Equatorial Guinea also have tinpot despots as leaders as well.

Example:
columbians monopolizing the coke industry, the mongolians in the Opium wars, Egypt and
Babylonia in the BCE era, the government controlled the irrigation channels; good subjects received plentiful water for their crops, while bad subjects were starved of water so that their crops died.
