World Government (G)
Carter is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
While theoretically a representative democracy, the Carter Technocracy is actually dominated by a single political faction, the Industrialist Party, which supports a libertarian platform and holds seats on the boards of all important corporations. It is therefore categorized as a dictatorial government.
