Jomo Kenyatta, first president of Kenya after the country's independence, and considered the founding father of it. He was an okayish guy for the kind of stuff we see in the book, so there's not really any kind of excentricities I can comment upon. The closest thing is that he had 4 different names during his lifetime
Jean Bédel Bokassa,self-titled emperor of Central Africa. That ahegao(why do I even know this word)-like face is because she's in a 20 million dollars worth crowning ceremony. You'd try not to be excited with a 5 million dollars crown on your head. That ceremony also put singlehandedly the country in bankruptcy, but oh well.
Idi Amin, self proclaimed President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular. His regime was (in)famous for its total disregard of human rights, and the extravagant rumours that were made about Amin, the most famous of which being that he was a cannibal.
Maximiliano Hernández Martinez, president of El Salvador from 1931 to 44. Was a believer in occultism, and when a smallpox epidemic broke in San Salvador he had colored lights hung around the city, in the belief that this would cure the disease.
Hideki Tojo,Prime Minister of Japan during WWII. Infamour for his butchered suicide attempt by trying to shoot himself in the heart and failing. They even drew a mark in his chest so it would be easier, for Christ sake! Also, according to rumours, he would rummage through the citizen's trash to see if they were getting proper rations. He would also keep note of every single thing his subbordinates reported to him. Shamelesly stolen from Danbooru's translationof the image
Hastings Banda, leader of Malawi, formerly known as Nyasaland. He led the country to its independence in from the British Crown, and became the President For Life. He instaured a very opressive regime, with huge censorship and cult of personality. He also instaured a pretty infamous dress code, for example, long hair wasn't allowed in men, and they could be seized and get it cut in the spot by officials. On a positive note, he was pretty supportive of women's rights for an African dictator, and founded an institution that encouraged them to play more active roles in their community.
Also that fucking face.
François Duvalier, former president of Haiti and batshit insane guy in general. Things he did include ordering to kill all the black dogs in the island because he believed one of his political rivals had turned into one, torturing prisoners by submerging them in sulphuric acid, and keeping the head of another of his opponents in his closet.
Francisco Franco, Caudillo of Spain, and holder of two records: longest dictatorship in Europe and funniest voice in a dictator.
His regime was heavily influenced by the catholic church, especially the cult Opus Dei.
He spent most of his time between executions fishing/hunting, inaugurating dams and receiving Tourists 1.000.000th in the airport.
His meeting with Hitler in Hendaya was a source of comedy gold, with Hitler saying later it was one of the worst experiences in his life and Franco telling him that he thought Germans were taller.
I figured someone else might've had an issue with that, but apparently not, and hey, Fidel Castro+Chávez is too good to pass. I'll change back when I start hating the guy again.
Ferdinand Marcos, former president of the Philippines and runner up to most corrupt leader behind Suharto, president of Indonesia.He and his wife (who owned a collection of 2,700 pairs of shoes) stole so much money from the government that the amount still hasn't been fully calculated.
Also she is the cutest in the book.
Elena and Nicolae Ceauşescu, former president of Romania and wife. In the picture they're fleeing in helicopter from the angry Romanian mob, who don't understand their love and their oppressive regime. They were executed after a hastily done trial, in Christmas day, and to add more drama, where buried in separate graves, each in one side of the graveyard's street. It is said that Romanian television airs their execution every year, but it's false since it wasn't even recorded.
Also Nicolae had a moon rock, whose whereabouts remain a mistery.
Why is there a misconception about the "Romanian TV airs their death every year", anyway? I mean, it should be easy to dispel simply based on the fact that it's not shown on TV.
Benito Mussolini, founder of fascism and wannabe emperor . Used to be BFFs with Hitler but then noticed they were losing the war so he went "neutral". He wouldn't look out of place in r/atheism
Actually this one is a character from other series' by the author, about girls recreating WWII scenes. Really, most caricatures depend on the author, like I said before Gaddafi's is quite good

Alexander "Daddy" Lukashenko, current ruler of Belarus and election rigger. Not in good terms with the EU. Has also made some anti-semitic and "guys, Hitler wasn't that bad" type comments.His family life is quite juicy, with his wife living in another house and his illegitimate son Nikolai.

I was thinking to use some of the girls from that moe dictators book as my avatar and a quote of that dictator as my user title, but I don't know if that would be in a bit of bad taste or in very bad taste
Yes, exactly. Actually, said feminine dude is one of the only things I really remember from my short attempt at watching it. I kinda want to go back and watch it now.
I'm doing this thing of watching a movie and then changing my avatar to a character of that movie, but since the last one I watched was Akira and didn't quite think it would be good avatar material I just decided to use a character named Akira from one of my favourite studios, Knack.
Here's the short he's from:
