Persia, also known as Iran operates under a Theocratic Islamic Republic. The president is democratically elected, but the Supreme leader must validate the person before they can even run for office. The religious leader or Ayatollah remains the supreme voice of the land, with the president answerable to him.

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.


Why is Iran sometimes called an theocratic republic?

A theocracy is a government controlled by religious leaders. A republic is a state that has got rid of its Monarch. Iran is both of these. However, historical experience teaches the world that theocracies are in general not very nice places to live in - when people think that they have divine guidance they tend to do terrible things.


Did ancient rome have a theocratic government?

A theocracy is a government ruled by divine guidance or by a person considered to be divine. The Romans never considered their living rulers to be divine, but they certainly asked for divine guidance in their undertakings, both major and minor. The counsuls would look for omens before bringing up any important issues before the senate. The omens would always be taken before a battle. Omen readings and sacrifices would always accompany the dedication of a building, and so on. Thanksgiving was always given to some god or another after a success. On the basis of this evidence, one would have to say, yes, the Romans had a theocratic government.
