Explanation:

The word kleptocracy comes from the Greek, and it means the rule of thieves, as in, the government of thieves. Nowadays it is used to encompass all kinds of government where the rulers are characterized by seeking their personal benefit and wealth, even if that means stealing from the very people that they claim to govern and by appropriating resources that don´t belong to them. No kleptocracy could maintain itself without constant manifestations of bribery and corruption.
