    Theocracy means the church claims absolute rule over the country. Theocracies are ruled by something akin to monarchs or dictators, with power inherited over generations.

    A modern example would be the Vatican in Rome, although they reign but not rule and do not have any dictatorial traits due to the federal republican government controlling Italy.

    Neither are democratic.

    Press and news services are controlled by the government.

    Religious freedoms are frowned upon.
