An oligarchy is a form of government that has a long history in human society. One of the most famous ones were in the ancient Greek City State of Sparta. In an oligarchy the power in the government is centered around a relatively few number of people. This small number can come from a family or a group of citizens with a special value, such as wealthy land owners. In some cases the members of the oligarchy are based in military roots.

∙ 10y agoAn oligarchy is a government in which a relatively small group of people govern a nation. Common citizens have no votes concerning the individuals who comprise the oligarchy. They normally have only the rights granted to them by the oligarchy.
Sometimes the membership of an oligarchy is based on a powerful family and new members of it must be from the ruling family.
In other cases, the oligarchy might be people from highest levels of the military.
