A Government By Psions?

If a government run by mages is called a magocracy, what would a government by Psions be called?

This is not a joke thread.

A magocracy.

There is no practical difference between magic and psionics. In fact, the word 'psionics' is almost always misused.

'Psionics' refer to technological devices that boost mental power. They are to the brain what bionics are the body. For example, a device which allowed you to transmit your thoughts as radio waves would be a psionic device. Linking several such people together would create veritable 'telepaths'. This is the original usage of the word 'psionics'. Gradually, in science fiction, as the hard science justification got to be thinner and thinner, the term began to refer to general psychic ability. General psychic ability is how the term is used in fantasy settings like D&D.

However, pyschic ability is 100% equivalent to magic.
