Theocratic governance

Theocratic governance is a political system where religious leaders or principles directly influence or control government decisions and laws. It’s based on the idea that religious authority and spiritual laws are the ultimate guides for political authority. In such systems, religious texts or leaders often serve as the foundation for creating and enforcing laws, blending religious and civic life. Examples include countries like Iran and Vatican City, where religious doctrine is integral to governance, and religious leaders hold significant political power.
