Theocracy
There are many advantages to this type of government. It's a very simple governing process because of how it's centralized, and people believe their deity will never mislead them. Another advantage is that people are more likely to follow the laws and abide by rules, because nobody wants to stray away from their deity's boundaries.
Along with having advantages, governments like these also come with many disadvantages. One disadvantage is that Theocratic rulers are seen as perfect, so any incompetence is left unchallenged. These governments make it hard to enact any sort of change, and thus leave theocratic governments very static without much improvement.
Theocracy is a type of government that is ruled by some sort of deity or form of a god. These gods in question have supreme ruling and they give guidance through human intermediaries, oftentimes priests. Religious law is used to settle disputes.
One of the most notable theocratic nations right now would be Vatican City. In this nation, The Pope is the supreme power, leading all three branches of the government.
