This can happen after a civil war in a country, when a government has been destroyed and rival groups are fighting to take its place. • Anarchists are people who believe that government is a bad thing in that it stops people organizing their own lives.

  13. Communist • In a communist country, the government owns property such as businesses and farms. • It provides its people's healthcare, education and welfare.

  14. Totalitarian • This is a country with only one political party. • People are forced to do what the government tells them and may also be prevented from leaving the country.
