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.
