The fact that you spelled it twice and differently each time made me skeptical, so I did a define:search on google, and came up with no results, so my guess is...no.

Look it up in the good old dictionary!
the way your spelling it makes it sound like Party cracky. are you spelling it right?
Perhaps you were wondering what the word “particracy” means. Literally, it means “rule by parties.” In other words, it is a form of government where the will of political parties dominates over the will of individual politicians. Particracy is a simulation that puts you at the head of one such party, a place where political intrigue, empty promises, compromise, concessions, and coalitions abound.
There is a word 'partocracy'--according to OED 2, it means 'government or rule by a single political party without opposition; totalitarianism'. 'Particracy'? A nonce word, I think.

Google define searches are THE most definitive searches, as it searches a large number of e-dictionaries all at the same time.

It definitely doesn't search the Oxford English Dictionary... :)
