Overview

The many arms of the octopus that can extend a considerable distance provide the name to the many means that this form of government uses to affect its policy decisions. The exact forms by which policy decisions are arrived at in this form of government are poorly understood, and its operational implementation is often shrouded in official and unofficial secrecy. This form of government can coexist with many other forms of government by infiltrating the official security bureaucracy and other governmental institutions, inducing individual collaborators at each level of the bureaucracy to effect the policy dictated by the secret superstructure.
