There is a deal of confusion about this, because although the United States is supposed to be one nation under God, it still is not a theocracy, technically.
Liberals often take the position that because we're not a theocracy, then we weren't founded upon Godly principles and God shouldn't be in our midst. But then, we all know now that liberalism is a mental disorder, and liberals need to be in mental hospitals.

The only country i know that's a theocracy is Iran. Laws are based on the Quran, having body parts cut off is not favorite pass time.

No existing country is a true theocracy. Iran has a council of Mullahs who can veto certain legislation, so it has elements of a theocracy.
I'm sure you can think of the disadvantages.

Before someone says 'Iran', i think they'll find Iran is a Constitutional Monarchy by strict definition, just as we are in the UK. I dont think their are many actual Theocracies left in the world
NB

England and Iran. Iran isn't so bad. At least you don't have to pray to Saint Henry the Eighth.
