The term Theocracy was coined by Josephus Flavius in the second century AD. Josephus saw that the traditional way of governing wasn’t working and came up with a new idea. The concept of proclaiming oneself a god or a son of god was decreasing in effectiveness because of the inherent incongruities between the many gods or sons of gods. The common people quickly became confused and disillusioned in these leaders and were only kept in order by fear. In order to liberate the people from the tacit mendaciousness of different governments, the movement toward one God became popular and necessary. Under the One God Theocracy a leader could specifically talk to the Creator and govern his people accordingly. Unfortunately, this also caused great debates between different governments on defining God.

  • Theocracy is a technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors that can be researched at the Monastery once the Imperial Age is reached. Once researched, only one Monk or Missionary in a group needs to rest after a successful conversion instead of all of them. Theocracy is available to all civilizations except for the Celts, Huns, Malay, Mongols, and Vikings.
  • Theocracy was a system of government run by religious leaders and based on religious fundamentals. The planet Nazzri, home to the Nazzar species, was ruled by a theocratic oligarchy during the time leading up to the Great Sith War. The Yuuzhan Vong empire was a theocracy. Those involved in the Anti-Sith conspiracy saw the Galactic Empire as a Sith theocracy beneath Palpatine and Darth Vader. Later, during Operation Shadow Hand, the cloned Palpatine intended to turn the Empire into a dark-side theocracy in fact.
  • A theocracy is a form of government in which the clergy of the main religion dominates governmental policy and everyday life.
  • A mid to late game civic Theocracy has a nice boost to happiness and stops the spread of non-state religions but it's real strength comes from the unlimited Priest and two free experience points. With the right wonders and civics Priest can provide a significant bonus to every city. Additionally Theocracy is one of the only three civic that provides experience to every unit.
  • A theocracy is a government run on principles of religion rather than state law. Asylia became a theocracy after the Diviner had the survivors of the governing body, the Guardians, executed and took control of the government.
  • Theocracy is a Christian Heavy Metal band from Athens, Georgia in the US. Their style mixes elements of Power Metal and Progressive Metal with plenty of Iron Maiden influences. The band was formed by Matt Smith (no relation), who played all the instruments, performed all the vocals, and programmed the drum machine on the first self-titled album, as well as mixing and polishing it. The band has since become an actual full band -- there were three members who played on their 2008 sophomore album, Mirror Of Souls, and there are currently five members.
  • Theocracy (according to the Apple Dictionary as translated as theo = god, -ocracy = power, rule) is a form of government ruled by divine means or by leaders considered to be divinely guided. Israel was a theocracy before King Saul. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a modern-day theocracy, as many commentators believe that the real power in its government lies not in allegedly "democratically-elected" leaders like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but in clerics within the government since Iranian law requires Presidential candidates to be approved by the Guardian Council and some Iranian laws on homosexuality and adultery come from the Sharia . The Vatican is a formal Christian theocracy, with the Pope as head of both church and state.
  • Theocracy is a form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler, "A form of civil government in which God himself is recognized as the head." or in a broader sense, a form of government in which a state is governed by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided. For believers, theocracy is a form of government in which divine power governs an earthly human state, either in a personal incarnation or, more often, via religious institutional representatives (i.e., a Church), replacing or dominating civil government.
