| [[File:Theocracy-icon.png]] '''Theocracy''' is a system of government in which the government claims that they are ruled through God and therefore have divine authority. Theocracy often motivates as either religious leaders having direct political power, a church of sort having control over state institutions or a government deliberately using religion as a justification of its existence.

| ==History==
| |
| [[File:Theocracy-icon.png]] Theocracy has always existed. It is theorised to be one of the first forms of government, with ancient countries being ruled by priest-kings. <br>
| |
| In the east, the [[File:MandateofHeaven-icon.png]] Mandate of Heaven existed as a legitimisation of the emperors of China. [[File:BuddhistTheocracy-icon.png]] [[Buddhist Theocracy|The Dalai Lama]] existed as an authority for Buddhism and, later in modern times, Tibet. <br>
| |
| In the west, [[File:JewishTheocracy-icon.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy|ancient Jewish judges]] were determined to be [[File:Kritarchy-icon.png]] [[Kritarchy|authorities]] through which God spoke. In [[Roman Empire|the Roman Empire]], emperors and nobles were often considered to be chosen by God and descendants of Gods and Demi-Gods. After it's fall, this was translated into the [[File:Monarchism-icon.png]] [[Monarchism|Divine Right of Kings]], along with [[File:CatholicTheocracy-icon.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|the Catholic Church]] having an immensely large control over Europe all the way until the modern period.
| |
| | |
| ==Contemporary Theocracies==
| |
| In modern times, very few theocracies remain. It could be argued that [[File:UnitedKingdom-icon.png]] [[United Kingdom|the United Kingdom]] is a theocracy, as the King/Queen of the United Kingdom is also the head of the [[File:AnglicanTheocracy.png]] [[Protestant Theocracy|Church of England]]. <br>
| |
| In contemporary times, [[File:IslamicTheocracy-icon.png]] [[Islamic Theocracy]] manifests itself as [[File:Islamism-icon.png]] [[Islamism]], with notable Islamists states being [[File:Iran-icon.png]] [[Iran]], and [[File:Taliban-icon.png]] [[Afghanistan]] post-Taliban takeover. Other Islamic countries, such as [[File:Syria-icon.png]] [[Syria]] use Islamic law.
| |
| The exiled government of [[File:Tibet-icon.png]] [[Tibet]] is still a Buddhist theocracy.
| |
| | |
| ==Personality==

| Extremely religious. Believes it is always correct and that whatever God says (through him), goes.
