Dictatorship is one of the available governments in Master of Orion II.
It is considered an absolutely average government as far as custom races go and is the default government for most of them.

In a dictatorial government, one individual rules the entire empire without having to answer to anyone else. Orders and decisions are enforced through a ruthless and efficient organisation, by any means necessary.
