A triumvirate (Latin: triumvirātus) or a triarchy is a political institution ruled or dominated by three individuals, known as triumvirs (Latin: triumviri). The arrangement can be formal or informal. Though the three leaders in a triumvirate are notionally equal, the actual distribution of power may vary.
The term can also be used to describe a state with three different military leaders who all claim to be the sole leader.[citation needed]
Informally, the term "triumvirate" may be used for any association of three.[1]
Under the influence of the Soviet Union, the term troika (Russian: for "group of three") may be used for "triumvirate".[2]
