" Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Greek: ???pt?? - kleptes, "thief"[1] and ???t?? - kratos, "power, rule",[2] hence "rule by thieves") is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often with pretense of honest service.

This type of government is generally considered corrupt, and the mechanism of action is often embezzlement of state funds.

As an abstract concept, distinct in usage as such (e.g. as a deprecation), and generic sense, it is simply, rule by thieves, theft as the basis of a society."
