Theocracy

Theocracy is a form of government in which a state is understood as governed by immediate divine guidance especially a state ruled by clergy, or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided.

Theocracy may be monist in form, where the administrative hierarchy of the government is identical with the administrative hierarchy of the religion, or it may have two 'arms,' but with the state administrative hierarchy subordinate to the religious hierarchy.

Theocracy should be distinguished from other secular forms of government that have a state religion, or are merely influenced by theological or moral concepts, and monarchies held "By the Grace of God"

Argueably the first civilization Akhasan was a Theocracy but unlike later ones it was based soley on the son of god, with the clergy holding little power. It was partly due to resentment from the Clergy that Akhasan imploded.
