∙ 6y agoThe word oligarchy comes from two Greek words; oligo meaning few and arkhein meaning to rule. Hence, an oligarchy is a system where the power is in the hands of small elite group rather than a democracy where it is theoretically in the hands of all the people. It is now usually associated with abuse of power but that isn't really the definition.
Some people suggest that Saudi Arabia constitutes an oligarchy. The truth is that most countries are oligarchies because small elite groups control power and true democracies are rare.

- The AP Government final almost always uses China as its example of an oligarchy.

∙ 11y agocountries with an oligarchy goverment are literally "countries ruled by a small group of people". A good example is present Saudi Arabia, formally a kingdom run by one king but in fact being completely run by the members of the House (the extended family) Saud; hence the name of the country.

some countries in South America.
