There is no point in comparing the politics here to reality. Too many factors that apply in the real world; do not apply here. Too many factors that apply here; do not apply in the real world.
However, I'm confident that in some ethnically homogenous, culturally homogenous, linguistically homogenous, and religiously homogenous demogogic, fascist universe where radiation doesn't poison areas for centuries and people were happy being treated as thralls of monolithic states and it's leaders (whose longevity compared to the common folk is nothing short of godlike)... that things here would perfectly mimic reality.
On second thought, there'd be no rulers anything like us in such a universe.
