A system of government or society controlled by the use of guns or military force.
From Latin 'gun' (related to gunpowder weapons) + Greek 'archia' meaning 'rule' or 'government'. A modern neologism combining military power with political control.
This term perfectly captures what historians call the 'gun-powder empires' like the Ottoman and Mughal empires, where control of firearms technology determined who ruled!
