APATECRACY?

: rule by deception or fraud.

APATE - was the spirit (daimona) of deceit, guile, fraud and deception. Her male counterpart was Dolos the daimon of trickery and wiles. She was also a companion of the Pseudologoi (Lies). Her opposite number was Aletheia the spirit of truth.

-CRACY - rule(kratos 'power, rule')

More or less the the general rule on planet earth for a good portion of human history.
