There are still many countries today with kings and queens, even a few that are absolute monarchies, where the ruler holds all the power. An example of this type is Saudi Arabia. Another type is a constitutional monarchy where the king or queen is more of a ceremonial figure. A country with this type of rule is Spain.
some monarchies today have symbolic or powerless parliaments that the monarch can dissolve or change at will. Countries are considered to be absolute monarchies when the power of their rulers are not restricted under their constitutions.

There are a few theocracies in the Middle East, like Iran or Saudi Arabia. There are also "weak theocracies", where the ruler retains control over the church of the country, but laws are not necessarily promulgated based on the religious views of the ruler, such as the UK or Morocco.
Economic statistics are a modern phenomenon. In historic times it was not the international consideration it is today. When countries had an absolute ruler and that ruler required fiscal support he or she "taxed" the people under him/her. Who, in turn, taxed those under them. There was no overall national economy, merely an ability to raise a certain amount for a specific purpose.
