Monarchy and theocracy are similar in that power is typically held by a single individual or a small group, and leaders represent either a royal family or a religious entity. Both types of government can be either absolute or constitutional. ;

Monarchies and theocracies both concentrate power in a single leader or small group, with legitimacy often grounded in tradition or religious beliefs. They can be absolute or constitutional, and historically have influenced national identities. Examples include Vatican City as a theocratic absolute monarchy and Saudi Arabia as a modern theocracy.
