Release your inner despot...

Nicolae Ceaucescu
You scored 3 Ego and -1 Ideology!
Nicolae Ceaucescu (1918-1989) was a longtime bureaucrat in the Romanian Communist Party who succeeded Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej as First Secretary in 1965. With his megalomaniacal wife Elena at his side, Ceaucescu attempted to pull Romania out of the Soviet orbit while remaining a doctrinaire Communist country. The West was initially intrigued at the opportunity to split the Warsaw Pact, but after a series of invitations to visit to the free world, they realized that Ceaucescu was unreliable, cruel, egotistical and incompetent. He was the last Communist leader standing after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but not for long: he was captured by revolutionaries and executed on Christmas Day, 1989. Like Ceaucescu, your loyalty to your allies is only important insofar as it makes you seem more important. So what if they're mad because you solicited aid from their sworn enemies? The international press said such nice things about you, and their diplomats gave you such beautiful presents, and your wife got an honorary doctorate. If your buddies are real friends, they'll have to match the gift. Right?

i'm a wimpy despot. haha.
 
Enver Hoxha
You scored 3 Ego and 5 Ideology!
If you don't know much about Albania, Enver Hoxha (1908-1985) would be thrilled to hear it. A leader of Communist partisan activities during the Italian occupation of his country in World War II, Hoxha (pronounced "Hoja") was appointed as Albania's leader by Yugoslavian Communists in 1944. His policies were among the most dogmatically Communist of any leader: he cut relations with the Soviets and the Chinese because they weren't Communist enough, outlawed all religion, attempted to eliminate all imports and exports, and forced anyone crazy enough to try to visit the country to wade through a trough of disinfectant at the border. The fanatical Communist government remained in place for four years after Hoxha's death in 1985. Like Hoxha, you have no time for compromise. Sure, maybe your friends think that it's okay to deviate from your ideals every once in a while, but that's just evidence that they're not really your friends. Stick to your guns! They'll laugh at you for being a loner, but we'll see whose laughing when you crush them with pure ideology!

Wait. I can understand me being a bit surprised by scoring the same as Inqvisitor, but why in the world would you think you're in a bizarro world for getting the same as me? I'm normal, really! :)
 
Josef Stalin

You scored 3 Ego and 3 Ideology!

Ioseb Jughashvili (1879-1953) was expelled from seminary school in 1899 and turned to the Georgian Communist Party, where he got the nickname "Stalin." His rise to power is a classic example of political cunning. He was a mere bureaucrat when Lenin died in 1924, but he used party appointments, infighting, and secret police so well that by 1936, he was unquestionably the leading man in the USSR. His personal brand of Communism emphasized heavy industry and high body counts: historians believe he was responsible for eight to twenty million deaths, not counting the additional twenty million killed in World War II. The full extent of his terror was not known for years after his death, and many prominent Western intellectuals were fooled by Stalin's brilliant propaganda machine. Like Stalin, you believe in "out of sight, out of mind." If somebody is bothering you, you'll be a lot happier if you get them away from you, so why not have them exiled, killed, or better yet, erase their very existence? It's only a small step from cropping your exes out of prom photos to removing them entirely from the history books.

Muahahahahaha! If you're going to be an evil dictator, why be like one of those pitiful modern dictators? Go the distance and be like the best of the worst, I say. :D

Francois Duvalier
You scored -1 Ego and -1 Ideology!

Trained as a doctor, Francois Duvalier (1907?-1971), a.k.a. "Papa Doc," became president of Haiti in 1957. Papa Doc claimed to be a powerful houngan who modeled himself on the mythical Baron Samedi, and many Haitians believed him: after all, anyone who spoke out against him died mysteriously. (More skeptical observers put the blame on the fearsome "Tonton Macoute" militia, who were paid only what they stole from victims.) What little money changed hands in his country tended to go into his. After his death in 1971, he was succeeded by his 19-year-old son Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc"), who rode Daddy's coattails until his overthrow in 1986. ("Baby Doc" proceeded to lose all his ill-gotten gains through gambling and divorce.) No one can do that voodoo that you and Duvalier do. You may not be the richest or the most charismatic person on the block, but when you speak, people listen. Is it your pragmatic nature that commands respect, or is it the fear of finding severed goat heads on their lawns? You know the dark side of human nature well, and you use it to your advantage. Just remember to keep an eye on your kids. You don't want some wastrel to dilute your legacy of terror.

Muammar Gaddafi
You scored 3 Ego and -3 Ideology!
Muammar Gaddafi (1942- ) led a coup against Libya's King Idris in 1969, and although he doesn't officially hold any public title, he's been in charge of the country ever since. He is best known for three things: his unpredictable foreign policy (a pan-Arabist in the 70s and 80s who sponsored terrorism and an invasion of neighboring Chad, he's since denounced terrorism and tried to improve ties with the U.S.), his sense of style (he's frequently seen in fashionable robes, and he has an all-female bodyguard corps with uniforms right out of the "Rhythm Nation" video), and the many, many spellings of his name (at least 30: he uses "Muammar Gaddafi" on his official web site). Like the Desert Fox, you have an agenda, but you're no idiot. You don't even need to sit on the fence: you're willing to jump back and forth as many times as necessary to stay in power. Some would say that you're untrustworthy, but that's not strictly true. You just confuse the hell out of your allies and your enemies alike.
 
Mobutu Sese Seko
You scored 0 Ego and -4 Ideology!
Joseph-Desire Mobutu (1930-1997) is the prototypical 20th-century African dictator. A longtime military officer, he won a struggle for power in the 1960s and turned to African nationalism, changing his country's name from Congo to Zaire, and his own name to Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Wa Za Banga ("The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake"). Rather than develop the nation's considerable natural resources, he used them as a bargaining chip with the West, who sent massive financial aid which ended up in Mobutu's pockets. Like Mobutu, you're prone to the occasional burst of pomposity, but you're clever enough to keep your intentions veiled. Your allies may hate you, but getting rid of you would be more trouble than it's worth. So enjoy the money they dump in your direction, All-Powerful Warrior, and wouldn't a new Mercedes look nice in your garage? :twitch:

Alfredo Stroessner
You scored -1 Ego and 1 Ideology!
As you might've guessed, General Alfredo Stroessner's (1912- ) father was a German emigrant to Paraguay. The workaholic Stroessner overthrew Paraguay's civilian government in 1954 and began work on a sort of low-calorie fascism, throwing money into massive construction projects, battling with the Church, handing out parcels of land to military veterans, and providing refuge to escaped Nazis. He was less brutal than most of his contemporaries, and Paraguay's economy benefitted from his efforts, but the people grew tired of him and he was overthrown in 1989. As of this writing, the old bat is still alive and retired in Brazil. Don't take this the wrong way, but you and Stroessner just aren't very, well, interesting. No torchlit rallies, no enormous statues, no threats of war, no daring political power plays. Just solid, predictable policy. But remember, the nail that sticks its head out is the first to get hammered. Stroessner knew this, and hung around for 35 years. That's plenty of time for you to redecorate the Presidential Palace to your liking.

Q: In your last National Economic Plan, you announced that your nation will produce eight thousand more tons of steel than last year. It appears that you're not going to meet your goal. How do you respond?

A: What? Not going to meet my goals? I refuse to believe this nonsense.

Gen. Rafael Trujillo
You scored 5 Ego and 1 Ideology!
Rafael Trujillo (1891-1961) trained with the American military during its occupation of the Dominican Republic from 1916 to 1924. He overthrew the country's fledgling civilian government in the wake of the Great Depression, and embarked on a two-pronged crusade against Communism and for Trujillo. He set about crushing left-wing dissent and naming everything in the country, from buildings to mountains to the capital city, after himself. His bungling foreign policies were an embarrassment to the US, and shortly after Washington revoked its support, he was shot by his bodyguards in 1961. Like Trujillo, you have some big ideas. Maybe something kinda involving making the economy better or something, or some stuff about immigration. You're not really into the specifics. But you've got some other, more specific, plans, mostly involving stuffing great quantities of money in your pocket and plastering your name across the land like you were a hyperactive graffiti artist on a six-espresso buzz. Truly, you will be remembered forever (or at least until the new president plasters his name over yours on the dedication plaques).

Cardinal Richelieu
You scored -3 Ego and -5 Ideology!
Armand Jean du Plessis (1585-1642) was the son of a minor nobleman who rose to power as a defender of Church interests. However, after earning an appointment as Cardinal and Duke of Richelieu, he switched sides and used his influence at court to build state power, even going so far as to ally the Catholic nation of France with Protestant powers during the Thirty Years' War. He was known as "l'Eminence Rouge" ("The Red Eminence") because his power was always lurking behind the state's actions. Like Richelieu, you are a devious schemer who prefers to work behind the scenes. People may not trust you, but if they're smart, they'll learn to fear your power. I'd tell you to beware of plotters against you... but you probably already know all about them.
