Ok, first of all, the state must really be openly Bonapartist, not of a similar ideology. And if you think I'm creating this thread because of KR, yeah, you are right


But what can be used to define Bonapartism? First of all the state must claim to be "Bonapartistic", and now to the definition:

"The term was used more generally for a political movement that advocated a dictatorship or authoritarian centralized state, with a strongman charismatic leader based on anti-elitist rhetoric, army support, and conservatism."

Based on that, I believe that one example of a near Bonapartist state is Bokassa Central african empire, and that usually isolated countries have a better probability to create a system like that, first because the "big brothers" of Europe and the USA have a bigger "tolerance" with authoritarism in these countries, and second because if West Germany for some reason adopted these ideology, they probably would have the entire NATO, EU and their affiliated organizations embargoing them. What do you think? Please correct me if I'm wrong at any point.
