In diplomacy, any gang of thugs, cabal, creeps or goons that can form a [[faction]] and control the armed forces, can pretty much call itself a ruling party, and [[international law]] will eventually be forced to recognize it.  See [[types of countries]] for varying attitudes on this.

Dealings with a ruling party are particularly important to [[transparency]].  A major issue with [[Transparent Consumerium]] would be the vulnerability of anyone who had negative things to say about the ruling party's own [[common interests]] with itself, or with others globally, to revenge inside the country where the party rules.  For this reason, [[outing]] ought to be a very serious concern of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], since it might risk someone's life by naming them.  [[Troll]]s attempt to set the correct rules in advance of any serious situation, by insisting on rules appropriate for [[large public wiki]]s, e.g. [[IP number]] in [[developed nation]]s that have [[human rights]] protections, and stricter [[anonymity]] in [[developing nations]] and any that has a serious human rights problem, like a [[rogue state]] presumably.
Swapping out one ruling party and replacing it with another, usually by force, is called '''regime change'''.  This term can also be used more trivially to describe changes of [[sysop]] on [[large public wiki]]s but this is inadvisable, as it trivializes the horror and danger of real regime changes.  This is one of many reasons to avoid using terms like [[online community]] - we prefer [[Consumerium social club]] to refer to the people who patroll this wiki.

[[Consumerium Troll]]s attempt to set the correct rules, i.e. those acceptable to the CGO, in advance of any serious situation, in [[essential projects]], by insisting on rules appropriate for [[large public wiki]]s, e.g. [[IP number]] in [[developed nation]]s that have [[human rights]] protections, and stricter [[anonymity]] in [[developing nations]] and any that has a serious human rights problem, like a [[rogue state]] presumably.
