A state (usually a dismal and failed one) ruled by a warlord, whose regime is based on military force only without any legitimacy. Such statelets are usually products of a larger state disintegrating as follow-up of a revolution or civil war, and various strongmen, tribal chiefs or bosses of organzed crime seizing the power and setting up a regime based on coercion and repression.
