While there are many religious countries in the world, there are only a few true theocracies. The nation of Iran is ruled by the Supreme Council of Ayatollahs (although it also has an elected President). The Vatican is technically an independent nation, and it is ruled by the Catholic Church.
Many Muslim countries are governed by the principles of Islamic law, but only Iran is actually ruled by the Islamic clergy, and is therefore the only true theocracy. Afghanistan, when it was ruled by the Taliban, was also a theocracy, but now it is what might be described as a struggling democracy.
