Is _cacologist_ a "real" word, or just something you come up with now?

Anyways, I invented the word _cacocracy_ "bad government" sometime during
the winter, partly because I like all those c's, partly because I dislike
the way that _dictatorship_ (or at least  Swedish _diktatur_) is used of
absolutely any governments disliked by western democrats, no matter how
different they may be from eachother. Whadya think of it?
