Tsarist Autocracy

This system is undoubtedly one of the best in history. Seen mainly in Russia, the rule by the Tsars / Emperors of the various Russias - the Tsardom, the Empire, etc - was a very stong and efficient government.

The main feature of this system is the Tsar himself - he has absolute authority to appoint ministers, sack ministers, control the army and the church, and make any decisions he pleases. The idea is that this system benefits the entire system and it worked very well.

It had many supporters, as they believed the autocracy was right for Russia, as opposed to the democracy and liberalisation.
