Police State is a term used to describe a government that has imposed ruthless and restrictive measures over its citizens. The measures can include heavy surveillance, repression of free speech and freedom of religion, rigid rules in terms of association, government control over the media and political tyranny including gun registration and gun control leading to gun confiscation and disarming the citizens. Nazi Germany and other socialist-communist regimes such as Cuba are examples of police states. George Orwell's novel 1984 is a fictional example of a police state.
