A theocracy represents a government that is operated under divine rule, or the pretense of divine rule. "Theo" is Greek for God, and "cracy" translates to government. This type of government is operated by the religious authorities who claim unlimited power in the name of God or supernatural forces. Many governments invoke God, claim to be be inspired by God, or claim to obey the will of God.
