Hallitstamme is a term of Finnish origin that translates to "government tribe" or "ruling clan." It refers to a societal structure where a specific group or lineage holds and exercises authority over a larger population. This concept can be observed in historical contexts, particularly in societies with strong hereditary leadership or where a particular family or clan has consolidated power over generations.
