Gerontocracy

Gerontocracy is rule by the eldest. It is a government system in which the oldest citizens govern the younger population. It is often said that elders know everything, and have the time in the world to tell you about it. The idea is that, having a Gerontocracy will allow the nations vinerable citizens to put their wisdom to good use. Gerontocracies are most common in rural regions, where a Council of Elders conduct the decision making for the community.
