My translated journal involves people and places that are non-fictional, others that are fictional but based off of non-fictional models, and some that are completely fictional. William, the main protagonist and the journal’s keeper, falls under the second category.

I attempted to make William

Legitimacy in authoritarian regimes is often explained merely through the economic performance of the country: economic growth is deemed to be the main basis for legitimacy.
