Best Answer

Mostly through control of the military (and through that the people). Once one man (or woman) has full control of a countries' military it is all over for them, the people can't really do anything without running the chance of getting killed. No opposition, no resistance, means full power. The only thing that could break the deal by this point would be a war in which the country is beaten into the ground by Another Country (or by assassination but then someone else could take the dictator's place).
