A bit of a subjective and broad question. However, I would presume it is because he is a antisocial power hungry individual who craves full authority within a nation and wants title and importance. By being dictator he gets to enforce what to do on basically anything within the country this includes: military, treasury (money), the civilians, etc.

Texas’ gulf coastal plains are the western extension of the coastal plain extending from the atlantic ocean to beyond the rio grande. its characteristic rolling to hilly surface covered with a heavy growth of pine and hardwoods extends into east texas. in the increasingly arid west, however, its forests become secondary in nature, consisting largely of post oaks and, farther west, prairies and brushlands.
