What kind of government did Calvin establish in Geneva?

Calvin established a theocratic government in Geneva, where church and state were closely intertwined. He implemented a system of governance that emphasized moral discipline and adherence to Protestant values, with a council of elders overseeing both civil and ecclesiastical matters. This structure aimed to create a "city of God" on Earth, reflecting Calvin's belief in the sovereignty of God over all aspects of life. The resulting regime was marked by strict moral codes and significant influence of the church in public affairs.
