A theocratic society is a society that is governed by religious rules. For example, many middle eastern countries could be considered theocracies.
What is a theocratic society?
The word "theocratic" comes from the Greek words for "god" and "government. It means "government by priests" or whatever kind of religious leaders the particular state has. A "theocratic republic" would be a state whose governors are elected from a group of priests. Vatican City is a "theocratic republic". The government of Iran, although described as a republic, is really more like a theocratic constitutional monarchy, as the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah) is not an elected position (but is one which is always filled by a top cleric.)
Which countries use therocracy?
A number of countries have a Theocratic type of government in theory, however none except Vatican City are entirely theocratic. Iran, Saudi Arabia are the primary examples of theocratic style governments, however both have houses of Parliament and elected officials who do hold considerable power. Iran is ruled by the Grand Mullah who seems to be the final arbiter in government, but non-religious government officials are gaining strength as the blowback to repressive government by theocracy. Saudi Arabia of course is ruled by a monarchy and the King seems willing to overrule the theocratic elements of the government when it seems necessary. There is also Israel with it's programs of promoting the country as the Jewish Homeland and incorporation of Jewish Torah precepts into law and running state-run Jewish religious schools. Norway is also a theocratic tinged country with a state religion and laws concerning how many legislatures must be members of the state religion.
What laws and policies of a theocratic government are based on .?
The laws and policies used in a theocratic government are based on religious ideals. Regulations and courts are guided by the religious group that is prevalent in that particular theocratic society.
What countries have theocracy governments and when were they established?
The only theocratic governments that exist are in Iran, Vatican City, and Tibet. All of these areas with religion- based governments have been around for a long time, however I am not sure on exact years or dates. There are many countries that have a religion officially recognized as the state religion, but as far as being legitimately theocratic, (where their government decisions are strongly influenced by religion) there are only three.
