Control of one's own mind is continentia, "restraint, self-control". Cicero describes it as follows in his treatise De inventione:
Continentia est, per quam cupiditas consilii gubernatione regitur.
Continentia is that through which desire is held in check by the guidance of wisdom.
External control of the mind might be expressed as imperium in mentem.

Latin translation of the word government?
Govern essentially translates to 'control' and ment means 'mind' -- control of the mind, or perhaps- in context, control of the many. Depends on context and translation. ============================================================ From my collection of (hard-copy_ dictionaries, English and Latin: govern - (O.F. governer, L. gubernare, to steer, guide, from Gr kubernan. to steer) Gobernare means to steer or guide. I remember in my Latin translation days that 'gubernator' could mean 'navigator' .... And of course the addition of "ment" just turns the verb into a noun. Nothing sinister? I don't think you can make that jump regarding the addition of 'ment' to mean 'control of the mind, or control of the many'. I don't think that it is connected to 'mens', it is just used to turn a verb into a noun... cf attach-ment, announce-ment, establish-ment, enforce-ment, contain-ment, encourage-ment, attain-ment, adorn-ment, defer-ment, etc etc
