What is "gigantomania"

Gigantomania (from Ancient Greek γίγας gigas, "giant" and μανία mania, "madness") is the production of unusually and superfluously large works.

Gigantomania was in varying degrees a feature of the political and cultural lives of several totalitarian regimes such as the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
