  That's not a dictatorship. It's a leader without powers to make laws. The leader makes decrees. And the leader is selected by a small council. It is akin to the monarchy in Britain.

    Have a look at Wikipedia -- there can be a small group of people who are the dictators, doesn't have to be just one: "A dictatorship is an autocratic form of government which is characterized by a leader, or a group of leaders, who hold governmental powers with few to no limitations." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship

      Except the leader is not a group of leaders. It is just one leader. And he answers the council who can vote to remove him. This is far from a dictatorship
