Countries can exhibit various forms of government, and often these systems can overlap. For example, North Korea is an autocracy, while countries like Russia may be considered oligarchies due to the concentration of power among a few elites. Saudi Arabia operates as a monarchy, where the king has significant authority, and Iran exemplifies a theocracy, with religious leaders holding ultimate power. Meanwhile, countries like the United States and many in Western Europe function as democracies, with elected representatives and varying degrees of citizen participation.
Theocracy is neither an autocracy nor a democracy; it is a form of government in which religious leaders or institutions hold political power and governance is based on religious law. While an autocracy has a single ruler with absolute power and a democracy features government by the people through elected representatives, theocracy specifically intertwines governance with religious authority. Thus, it operates on principles distinct from both autocratic and democratic systems.
