Government Type

Theocracy

theocracy

A Theocracy is a Government Type based on the principle of divine sovereignty, where the Ruler is issued from the servants of the faith and secular matters are subordinated to religious authority.

Rulers are usually chosen to rule for life by some form of Election, which allows for a less disruptive transfer of power.
