Thalassocracy

"This article is about sea power. For the Rule of the Sea, see Hydrarchy. For it's land equivalent, see Tellurocracy."

Thalassocracy is a political ideology that holds for a state that has naval control over a body of water (specifically seas and even oceans), either militarily or commercially. However, Thalassocracy is more of a policy rather than an ideology. As a policy it is easiest to implement in an authoritarian right society, but can work in any ideology with a state that maintains trade and/or a military.
