One of the most famous Christian theocracies was created in 1929, when the Kingdom of Italy signed the Lateran Treaty, formally establishing and recognizing Vatican City as an independent state. The pope is the head of state of the Vatican while the legal system is rooted in the canon law of the Catholic Church. Some political philosophers have described tyranny as the union of church and state, associating a negative connotation with the term ‘Theocracy’. Nations such as Iran, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, continue to govern as theocracies despite a growing global outcry for religious reform.\n
