Ruler sounds a little too majestic, how about dictators? with or without the prefix "tin pot" depending on desire for brevity vs accuracy.

Try it in conversation:

"US Rulers have recently made file sharing a crime carrying the death penalty" vs. "US Dictators have recently made file sharing a crime carrying the death penalty". I think Rulers sounds better (but I think "dictators" is still preferable to "leaders")
