==Description==
A '''triumvirate''' (from [[Latin]], "of [[three]] men") is a [[political]] [[regime]] [[dominated]] by three powerful [[individuals]], each a ''triumvir'' (pl. triumviri). The arrangement can be [[formal]] or informal, and though the three are usually [[equal]] on paper, in [[reality]] this is rarely the case. The term can also be used to [[describe]] a state with three different [[military]] leaders who all claim to be the sole [[leader]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumvirate]
