autarchy

A condition of absolute power.

Autocracy (absolute rule by a single person).

Like Philip's, Franco's autarchy was shrouded in religiosity—not Christianity alone, but also a sort of dim Wagnerian vision of hero-gods and Valhallas, a gloomy level of devotion on which paganism, Catholicism and the apotheosis of the State could conveniently be mingled.

Sovereignty or self-government (national political independence).

Alternative spelling of autarky (“personal condition or state of self-reliance; (policy of) national economic self-sufficiency; self-sufficient country or region”).
