Thneedville Model

The Thneedville Model, or Thneed Model for short, is the dystopian government system of Thneedville as seen in Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, and later in it's animated film adaptation of the same name released in 1972. If you're looking for the ideology of the lower quality 2012 movie, see here - Once'lerism

Prologue
The downfall (and creation) of Thneedville, began when The Once-ler, an Anarcho-Capitalist, started up his thneed business unsuccessfully at first, but quickly growing to great fame. Of course, in order to get more money, he was to bigger his company and bigger his factory and bigger his corporate size. He began to take on Anti-Environmentalist policies to improve business up unto the point where all the trees in Thneedville have been cleared, leading to environmental collapse, the downfall of his business, and furthermore, Thneedville.

Governance
The Thneed Model is dictated by a powerful tycoonist named the Once'ler who monopolizes leaves and sells it to the citizens for epic proportions of money. The city Thneedville is surveilled in an almost Orwellian-type way with cameras moderating the city very closely. The city is also surrounded by a thick metal sheet wall to prevent the citizens from leaving.

The city is overlooked by the Once'lers dictator's tower, but the citizens usually have a very positive outlook on him and his governance.

Aftermath
The tycoonist dictator, Mr. Once'ler, met his end when due to his rampant environmental incursions, his profit and the environment collapsed. The incursion finally ended when the Once'lers stock ran out an he was left impoverished, with only a seed, which he later gave to a young boy in the hopes he could overturn the environmental collapse and regain profits.

Personality
Literally just the Once'ler from The Lorax 1972 Film.
