A government with a god as the head of state is typically characterized as a theocracy. In a theocracy, religious leaders or institutions hold political power, and the state's legal system is often based on religious law. This form of governance blurs the lines between spiritual authority and political authority, as the divine or sacred texts guide decision-making and governance. Examples include ancient Egypt and certain interpretations of Islamic governance today.
