How to use this page
What a regime page holds
A short history, the leader, the people who ran the main offices, and every write-up and archive object tagged with that regime. Portraits appear where a public-domain or openly licensed one exists.
What counts as a regime
Whoever held state power at the time: a democracy, a monarchy or a dictatorship. A page names who held power. It never says who to blame. Sitting governments are dated with an as-of day.
