Otokrasi is a form of government where a single individual holds absolute power and authority over the state. This leader, often referred to as an autocrat, makes decisions without the need for consent from a legislative body or the public. In an otokrasi, political opposition is typically suppressed, and civil liberties may be restricted. In an otokrasi, the ruler often justifies their control by claiming to act in the best interest of the nation. This system can lead to efficient decision-making but may also result in abuses of power and a lack of accountability, as the leader is not subject to checks and balances.
