"Not a Plutocracy or an Aristocracy...There must be a term for a country ruled by low-lifes."

There is just such a term: Kakistocracy

The word is derived from two Greek words, kakistos (κάκιστος; worst) and kratos (κράτος; rule), with a literal meaning of government by the worst people.

Shouldn't be Kratocracy? Evolving into English as a Crapotocracy!

Either way, I still prefer Mike Judges "Idiocracy!"
