People's Government

A phrase used to initially infer the inclusion of everyone in the actions of the state before slowly admitting "oh, we didn't mean you" and then it is used to justify the actions of the state. Current examples include China (Central People's Government), a soviet backed occupation of Lithuania (People's Government of Lithuania) , soviet backed client state in northern Iran (Azerbaijan People's Government ) and the United Kingdom (People's Government)
