Yes, it's kind of funny that with all the countless fallen regimes throughout history there is only one Ancien Régime.

well, there is also this: The early modern period of Swiss history, lasting from formal independence in 1648 to the French invasion of 1798 came to be referred as Ancien Régime: link

Regime to me (after studying Government and Politics at A level so ignore me if you want  ) means any form of organised government. The USA has a regime as do most countries in the world. At the moment though people (cough America cough) have been using it to describe governments that do not fit the Western Liberal style of government - so the Middle East all have "regimes" (in the negative sense) as do some South American countries, Cuba, and the currently in turmoil Egypt, Tunisia and Libya...and so have negative-ised the word...

You could say that in most of these countries people are tied to a forced regime in the sense of 'diet'. Double covery.

Makes perfect sense to me. And not everyone wants the
American type of regime. Not everyone should have it.
Different strokes for different folks. They are tired
of their diets now and want to taste something else.
