This article is about land power. For its sea equivalent, see
Thalassocracy.
Tellurocracy is an ideology, which is more of a policy. It focuses on land development and inland expansion, as opposed to 
Thalassocracy, which focuses on dominating power around a body of water.
In theory, Tellurocracy is classified as following; a sedentary lifestyle (while resettlement colonization is not excluded), conservatism, constancy of legal norms, the presence of a powerful bureaucratic apparatus and central authority, strong infantry, but a weak navy.
Notable Tellurocracies include, but not limited to Ancient China, 
Ancient Persia, 
Roman Empire, 
Mongol Empire, 
Russia, 
United States in the early-to-mid 19th century, etc.
History
Many ancient empires are known to be more tellurocratic than their rivals, such as Roman Republic as opposed to its rival in Carthage, while later 
Roman and 
Byzantine empires acquired some thalassocratic characteristics, though they are roughly tellurocracies, while its rivals, the 
Parthian and Sassanid empires, were almost purely tellurocratic.
Other notable examples are the 
Napoleonic, 
German, 
Russian, 
Ottoman and 
Austro-Hungarian empires and also 
USSR and 
Nazi Germany, rivaling the thalassocratic 
United Kingdom.
