Homonym: Regime (System)
A "regime" refers to a system or method of government or rule. It can describe the way power is organized and exercised within a state, including the laws, policies, and practices that govern a society. Regimes can vary widely, from democratic systems where citizens have a voice, to authoritarian systems where power is concentrated in a single leader or party.
Regimes can also be categorized by their stability and duration. Some regimes are short-lived, emerging during times of crisis or revolution, while others may last for decades. Historical examples include the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union, each representing distinct types of governance and societal organization.
