Derg, a Rare card
The Derg or Dergue, officially the Provisional Military Administrative Council, and also often simply known as Socialist Ethiopia, was the military junta that ruled Ethiopia from 1974 to 1987, when its members formally "civilianized" the administration, though they remained in power until 1991.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Derg was established on 21 June 1974 as the Coordinating Committee of the Armed Forces, Police and Territorial Army, by junior and mid-level officers of the Imperial Ethiopian Army and members of the police.
- The officers decided everything collectively at first, and selected Mengistu Haile Mariam to chair the proceedings.
- On 12 September 1974, the Derg overthrew the government of the Ethiopian Empire and Emperor Haile Selassie during nationwide mass protests, and three days later formally renamed itself the Provisional Military Administrative Council.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Derg article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 81: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
