Has there ever been a piece of fiction exploring a totalitarian regimes (a la Pale Fire, 1984 et al.) where the subject regime is supported by no one privately but outwardly everyone tows the same line due to fear of ostracism?
I feel I've poorly explained the premise so I try again
>Totalitarian regime
>All members of society appear to wholly support regime
>In fact every single person in the society is privately against it but has never felt able to speak out

I don't know, maybe.
You shouldn't care if it's been done before if you think you can do it justice.

Is Pale Fire really about a totalitarian regime? Sure Kinbote was an overthrown king but I don't recall them talking about the political aspect of that at all. I don't think there was much mention of how the new (or even old) governments treated their citizens.
