The Vatican
The only Christian theocracy in the world is the Holy See (Vatican City). It is an independent city-state with the Pope as its head of state and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
Vatican City is the only Christian theocracy on earth at this time.
In ancient times, the theocracy was run by priests and/or a single dictator. Today, the only country in the wordl that comes close to a theocracy is Iran, which has a supreme leader and a president.
Theocracy is a religious based goverment, and ruled by people who believe in Christ and God. The first part of this answer is correct. The second part is not. A theocracy is indeed a religious based government. But not necessarily Christian. It could be any organized belief system. Not just Christianity.
No nation that exists on this earth
Many Muslim countries are governed by the principles of Islamic law, but only Iran is actually ruled by the Islamic clergy, and is therefore the only true theocracy. Afghanistan, when it was ruled by the Taliban, was also a theocracy, but now it is what might be described as a struggling democracy.

A Theocracy is a government by religious priests. It is a TERRIBLE form of government as things are seen in black and white terms. Which is strange as most religions peace peace and love. Examples of Theocracies are: The Vatican state (the only Christian Theocracy). Iran, Islamic State, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen, Gaza, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Mauritania are all Islamic Theocracies although some of them pretend to be democracies or monarchies.
Theocracy is a small group of religious people that rules the state or country; and Monarchy is where only 1 person rules, which is the king!
There are 2 state theocracies in the world today. The Vatican & Iran.
There is no antonym for theocracy.
The one and only True God, Jehovah.
A theocracy is a government that is run by the dominant religious group and where only one official religion is allowed. In a theocracy, the laws are made based on that religion, and the religious leaders are also the political leaders (or have strong influence over the political leaders). A good example of a theocracy is Iran. Some people also believe Saudi Arabia is a theocracy, and so is the Vatican City.
