A kleptocrat is someone who is primarily motivated by the accumulation of wealth and power, and only secondarily (if at all) motivated by protecting the long-term interests of the state or its citizens.
A state that is effectively controlled by one or more kleptocrats, regardless of the state's official form of government, is a kleptocracy.
