EzraTheocracy derives from the Greek word theokratia, which is actually a compound word from the two terms theosand kratein, defined as god, and to rule. A theocracy is thus a government in which rule is directed by the belief in a god or certain religious beliefs. It may also be the case that the head of a theocratic government is the head of a specific religion, as in the case of Vatican City. Alternately, the rulers are guided specifically by their religious beliefs and usually religious advisors, or see themselves as emissaries of their god, who are meant to rule their people.
