yea we all know america is a pedocracy.
Ruled by a child? Yeah, that fits.
No that's an infentocract. A pedocracy is ruled by pedos
Mixing Latin and Greek roots? You sociopath^1^.
Yes, pedocracies are ruled by pedos; the Greek word for 'child'. See also Pedagogy (teaching children), pediatrics (medicine for children), and pedophily (sexual attraction to children).
A society ruled by pedophiles would be a pedophilocracy. From the Greek words 'pedos' (child), 'philia' (lust), and 'cratos' (rule). Like aristocracy (rule by the best), democracy (rule by the people), or autocracy (rule by oneself).
^1^: from Latin 'socius' (comrade) and Greek 'pathos' (caring).
