Pretty short term. See in my nation in 1984, the army elected Curtis Fabus to be leader for life.

Actually he was made official leader in january of 1985 after he won the civil war against the non-whites and the white liberals.

There were 4 Parachute Divisions comprised entirely of right wing whites the government wanted to keep an eye on. Each unit had liberal commissars assigned to them. The reason for the divisions was to get the right wingers to do the dirty work of the government, jobs too dangerous for liberals and blacks were given to right wing whites. There were 44 divisions in the Mississippian army in January 1984. There were large riots (basically rebellions) of white people all throughout Mississippi. The government ordered the 4 elite Parachute Divisions to return from the foreign campaigns they were currently in and crush the whites (1 was in Angola, 1 was in Cambodia, 1 was in Peru, and 1 was in Syria). The divisions returned, they returned alright. But instead of doing what they were ordered to, they jumped into the capital and other key bases, cities, etc. They seized the Capitol hill after 2 hours of fighting and killed all the government officials. It was brilliant.

Then the 4 divisions went on to fight against 36 of the army divisions (several joined the coup). After about 9 months of fighting the mostly black government army fell apart and the liberal whites fled the nation.

The 4 Parachute Divisions beat an enemy many times their size. Also it helped that throughout the nation over 50,000 white guerillas made it tantamount to suicide for government forces to attempt to use the roads in rural areas.

We do not bother with elections. The Shah was appointed by the divine to rule and he will not share his holy powers with any other man.

I outlawed elections in fear that Fascists and other non-supporters will get in legitimently.
