This is a list with fictional dictatorships, that might be placed in the real world or in a fictional world. They all count as long as the regime in power was invented.

These books could be from thrillers to romance to even fairy tales. These books have an amazing little romance added to them. I understand that it's not the whole plot, but they could have been the whole plot or a little sprinkle that just added on to the already amazing stories!
