Nepotocracy 

A government run solely by giving your family and close friends jobs, after firing anyone with experience and everyone who won't kiss the ring.

The Trump administration exclusively practices favoring relatives or friends with political appointments, especially by giving them jobs.

"his years in office were marked by corruption and nepotism, leading to the Trump Nepotocracy."

Don: "hey Jared, my useless son-in-law, would you like me to create a high level government advisory position for you to embarrass our country daily?"

Jared: "sure, pops! Ivanka wants to peddle misinformation, too!"

Don: "You're both hired."

nepotocracy 

The opposite of meritocracy. A system whereby privilege and wealth opens all doors regardless of actual skill set or past failures. What allows shonky people in positions of power to get sideways promotions out of difficult situations that they have created.

The nepotocracy wins again. Another juicy job gone to (insert whatever slimy politician/executive here) after he screwed up (insert whatever project/company here). How do these people keep getting these positions?

Nepocracy 

1. Nepotism plus hypocrisy masquerading as Democracy. 2. Any political system where nearly all politicians are closely related to other politicians by blood or marriage.

The election of Nepocrats in Illinois, such Lisa Madigan, Richard Daley, Todd Stroger, Emil Jones, Jr and Dan Lipinski, to name but a few, makes Illinois a functioning Nepocracy.
