A true theocracy is a system of government in which religious leaders or institutions hold political power and govern according to religious laws and principles. In a theocracy, the state's legal system is often based on specific religious doctrines, and the authority of the government is derived from divine guidance or religious texts. This form of governance typically limits political participation to those within the religious establishment and can suppress dissenting beliefs or practices. Examples include Iran, where the Islamic clergy holds significant power, and Vatican City, governed by the Pope.

A theocracy is run by a ruling elite of a single religion. One modern day example is Iran. It is impossible to have a true democracy in a theocracy because the people are not allowed to vote someone into office from a different religion.
The Vatican is a theocracy; some consider Iran to be a theocratic republic.
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.
