Line 11:
The villain's leaderly reputation varies between [[Villain with Good Publicity]] and [[0% Approval Rating]]. Sometimes, the heroes go into the country and foment [[La Résistance|a rebellion]] to get the villain kicked out; naturally, this often leads to someone ''even worse'' stepping up (as with [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]]) and an [[Enemy Mine]] storyline to [[Reset Button|restore the status quo]]. Or, the "oppressed masses" are actually [[Gullible Lemmings]] who ''like'' their leader, and might not be oppressed at all!
Similar to the [[Evil Overlord]], but with an international scope. See also [[The Caligula]], which is this trope turned [[Up to Eleven]], ''sans'' the Democracy. [[Our Presidents Are Different|A Different sort of President.]] Not to be confused with [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
Almost always overlaps with [[Corrupt Politician]] or [[Sleazy Politician]]. In terms of the ranks of [[Authority Tropes]], the tropes that are equal are [[God Save Us From the Queen]], [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]], and [[The High Queen]]. The next steps down are [[The Evil Prince]], [[Prince Charming]], [[Prince Charmless]], [[Warrior Prince]], [[The White Prince]], [[The Wise Prince]], and all [[Princess Tropes]]. The next step up is [[The Emperor]].
