As I understand it, "kleptocracy" applies to a government that is run to line the personal pockets of the ruler and his clique. (Not disputing your broader concepts, CK, but I understand the term to be a description of the narrower situation.) Admittedly, I could well be mistaken on this.
Edit at 23:59: was responding to CK, and have edited to correct typo that may have made that unclear. Was speaking solely to the definitional question, and in no way disagree with the posts immediately above and below as they concern the facts of the particular regimes.
