Heptarchist

/hɛpˈtɑːrkɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who advocates for or practices a system of government based on seven rulers or seven divisions of power.

Etymology

Kelly Says

In theory, a heptarchist believed seven heads were better than one—a genuinely optimistic view of distributed power that rarely worked in practice!
