Cleptocracy 

A type of government in which corruption is widespread. The corruption is so strong that society accepts it as a part of normality, reacting with suspicion when some public worker or politician doesn't embezzle something.

Gosh, that mayor actually used the city's money to build stuff for the city. Something's not right here. That's a disrespect to our cleptocracy!

dafuq just happened, those people were convicted for corruption? Is that a crime, really?! That's absurd, i thought we were living in a cleptocracy here!

corpocracy 

1. Often disguised as a democracy or a constitutional monarchy, a corpocracy is when a country is run by big business, either

a. Indirectly (a common occurrence). Usually the result of pandemic corruption or gradual erosion of a nation's checks and balances on the executive branch of government; to the point where greed takes precedence over your representative's morals.

or

b. Directly (currently theoretical). There are few companies with the capital to afford starting their own direct corpocracy.

2. America's actual system of government.

1a. I highly doubt that Congress would willingly label America a corpocracy, but honesty isn't exactly their strong point.

1b. Microsoft has enough money to buy a small country, thus forming the first direct corpocracy.

2. America became a corpocracy when both the Republicans and the Democrats dropped all pretence at serving the nation's best interests; opting to take bribes from the defence industry, large oil companies, and Hollywood instead.

corpocracy 

The style of politics we have now in America, where corporations run the "democracy" of the country.

The fiscal bailouts prove that America is now a corpocracy.

America is of the corporations, for the corporations, and by the corporations.

corpocracy 

While by law the U.S. is a republic, the government is actually a Corpocracy - democracy by the corporations. Corporations vote by paying politicians and political parties to put forward their agenda. The term is also endearing because of the similarity to the word "Hipocrisy".

Joe: I'm happy we live in a democracy.

Ed: Actually, the U.S. is a republic, do your homework.

DeShaun: Well, by law the U.S. is supposed to be a republic, but in actuality it is a Corpocracy - democracy by corporations.

All: Tru Dat

Corruptocracy 

A system of government in which the majority of politicians' souls are bought, usually to keep those with any real power (traced to those who control energy sources on an international level) in power. In America, its the same group of people who buy from all of the major political parties.

The United States of America has been a corruptocracy for far too long.
