Pagan Theocracy is a religious, culturally variable, civically variable, and economically variable and usually center ideology that wants paganism to be the ruling religion over the community. In state societies, this usually manifests itself in extreme
authoritarianism and while may somewhat vary, often will execute those who have a different interpretation of pagan beliefs. However in tribal societies it often is extremely libertarian and varies greatly among practitioners of different areas and is generally much less statist and is usually more of a structure of social taboos to ensure the survival of the tribe and was "more or less" decided by the people of said tribe, whether it be through democratic vote and/or traditional societal roles such as elders or chiefs who often either were elected by the tribe and/or were given such power via tradition.
History
(WIP) Pagan Theocracy has been almost as old as humanity itself. With traditions and superstitions often serving providing ways for humans to understand their place in life, eventually it has evolved all across the world to encompass various different non-monotheistic belief systems and pantheons. It could be argued that all major religions today started from Paganistic pantheons.
In Nations
The Roman Empire was this at certain times.
A good example of a hardcore pagan theocracy would be Mesoamerican empires such as the Aztec empire, which is known to be extremely extreme in their beliefs, and often being known to preform extreme rituals that often led to immense ammounts of sacrifice to the gods, examples being large-scale human sacrifice, child beatings and drowning, self-mutilation and constant warfare and razeing of enemy territories. But eventually due to outside disease and continued Colonialism from Western powers, as well as various native groups infighting with eachother, this way of life eventually collapsed and such traditions became a thing of the history books, although certain Indigenist political movements seek to revive aspects of Mesoamerican indiginous culture and beliefs such as
Neozapatismo, albeit without such religious extremism or sacrificial rituals.
Beliefs
Pagan Theocracy believes that a pagan religion should rule over the state. This was commonly done by either priests, druids, etc ruling or having power over the state in the name of the gods or by kings who called themselves a god. How they do it specifically depends on the pagan religion.
Variants
Ancient Near Eastern
Canaanite
The Ancient Canaanite religion found in the land of Canaan by Ancient Semitic Peoples is one of the oldest Pagan religions. Like in the Egyptian religion, the Canaanites valued the existence of the nefesh (soul) that departed from the body after its physical death to Mot (Death), with a great emphasis on the decoration of the dead with various goods. The Canaaties believed the universe came to be after the union of El Elyon and his consort Asherah. The pantheon (sum of all Gods) is also known as Elohim. The religion, despite also being commonly monolatric, was still polytheistic and many deities can be found, each with their own specific story and position in the creation of the Cosmos. Some of the Gods include: El Elyon, Kothar-wa-Khasis, Anat, Baal, Hadad, Malakbel, Moloch, Mot, Qadeshtu, Shachar and Shalim, Sydyk, Yam and Yarhibol. The Canaanites were later succeeded by the Phoenicians who held the same beliefs as them and then they would be ultimately replaced by the monotheistic Israelites
. However, due to Phoenician contact with other civilisations of Mesopotamia and Eastern Mediterranean, the Canaatnite religion influenced almost every other Pagan proto-religion of the Near East.
Egyptian
Ancient Egyptian Pagan belief centered on the Pharaohs, the rulers of Egypt, believed to possess divine powers by virtue of their positions. They acted as intermediaries between their people and the gods, and were obligated to sustain the gods through rituals and offerings so that they could maintain "Ma'at", the order of the cosmos, and repel "Isfet", which was chaos. The state dedicated enormous resources to religious rituals and to the construction of temples. While there is much debate to the extent the pharaoh was considered a god, it seems most likely that the Egyptians viewed royal authority itself as a divine force. Therefore, although the Egyptians recognized that the pharaoh was human and subject to human weakness, they simultaneously viewed him as a god, because the divine power of kingship was incarnated in him. He therefore acted as intermediary between Egypt's people and the gods. The Egyptians valued earthly goods as Gods' gifts and also held great belief in the afterlife, that's why they decorated the dead and mummified their bodies in order to accomodate them to their next lives. They also held the belief that the soul was compiled of several parts like Khet or the "physical body", Ka or the "double" or "vital essence", Ba or the "personality" etc. They believed these spirits, collectively called Akh, would be united when the soul of the person reached successfully the afterlife. The act of mummification led to massive tombs being built for venerating the dead, especially the
Pharaohs' whose tombs were gigantic and filled with gold and treasures, commonly known as Pyramids. The Egyptians believed in multiple deities, like Re, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Seth, Ptah, Amon etc. Most of their deities were portrayed as half-human and half-animals, showing their respect to nature and the
animalistic nature of their religion. The autocratic and theocratic characteristics of the Egyptian society and power even led to the sub-religion of
Atenism, that was founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten, who tried to abolish the belief in other Gods expect himself as the personification of the God Aten but failed to the resistance of the polytheistic Egyptians. During the
Hellenistic and
Roman eras, characteristics of the Greco-Roman religion were included in the Egyptian Pantheon, with Alexander the Great and several Roman Emperors even being named Pharaohs themselves. The religion was soon replaced by
Oriental Christianity in the Early Medieval Era and then by
Islam which destroyed many Egyptian temples and has established itself as the dominant religion of Egypt since the Middle Ages to this day.
Mesopotamian
The Ancient Mesopotamian religion consists of the ancient Pagan beliefs of the people of Mesopotamia (Sumer, Babylonia and
Assyria). One of the oldest religions in the world well, the main common chracteristic of each of these sub-religions is the faith to mostly similar Gods, who they believed influenced their lives. Also, the fascination of the stars and the cosmic entities (the founders of astronomy) and the principle of God-city patronage, in which there existed a God for each of their cities who acted as their protector. Each city had a big temple, called Ziggurat, to honor their God. The different Mesopotamian Kingdoms had many local rulers for each area as well but all of them had
absolute power e.g. King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon who is also named King of Justice
due to his written laws. The main Sumerian Gods were Anu, Enlil, Enki, Utu, Inanna, Nanna (Sin), the main Babylonian Gods were Marduk, Nergal, Tiamat, Shamash and the main Assyrian Gods were Ashur, Ishtar, Shamash, Elil, Ea. Most of these Gods were practically different versions of the same deity, depending the area of origin. In later years, the Mesopotamians were conquered by the
Persians who respected their religion and let them pracitce it freely. Then they were Hellenized by Alexander the Great during the
Hellenistic Period, syncretizing Greek characteristics with Mesopotamian ones. The Hellenistic period soon came to an end and the Mesopotamians were once again ruled by the
Persians (Parthians) who revived the Mesopotamian religion until the Late Roman Period which was replaced by
Manichaeism, a mixture of the monotheistic religions of
Christianity,
Judaism,
Buddhism and
Zoroastrianism. In the end,
Islam conquered Mesopotamia and established itself as the dominant religion to this day.
The ancient Pagan religion of Zoroastrianism could also be included as ancient Mesopotamian but it had a complete different structure and beliefs, as it was, in contrast to the other Mesopotamian religions, monotheistic and had been esteblished by a prophet (Prophet Zoroaster).
Tengrism
Tengrism (Turkish: Tengricilik In Old Turkic: 𐱅𐰀𐰭𐰼𐰃𐰲𐰠𐰃𐰚) is a pagan religion that ancient Turkic, Mongolian and Yeniseian tribes believed in. The religion is both pantheistic, syncretic and pagan and is currently only believed by some people in Turkey and Siberia. The main God of Tengrism is the Father of the Heavens and creator of the world, Tengri. Tengri, unlike Gods in other religions, is not personified and does not have human characteristics nor is he seen like a human, he is the supreme cosmic being and just a God. Despite being the main God, Tengrism is polytheistic and has other important deities as well. Other Gods except Tengri include Erlik, Umay, Kayra, Alaz, Kuyash, Ulgen, Aysyt, Ay-ata and Gun-ana, all of whom hold power in an area of life and have long stories to define them. Historically speaking, Tengrists have been organised in nomadic life-style communities, with a ruler chosen by the tribe or hereditary. Some
Khanates (with their rulers named Khans) include several Turkic Empires and tribes such as Gokturks, Huns, Avars, Magyars, Bulgars, Mongols, Tuvans and the old peoples of Central Asian countries and some Siberian nomads. Wolves and falcons have a symbolic role and horses used to be vital for the survival and expansion of the tribe. Despite Tengrist tribes having a shaman (Kam), the religion, unlike other Pagan ones, is not shamanist, so these shamans do not have a powerful position in the societal hierarchy of the community but act only as a healer or a gate between the realm of the humans and the Gods. Tengrism holds in great regard women, and as such,
women have an equal position as men in their society. With other important values being the balance of power, life with nature, honor, honesty and the sacred bond of the family. The most famous Tengrist being
Genghis Khan, who, after uniting the Mongol tribes, went on to conquer almost all of Asia, spliting his Khanate between other Khans who influenced almost all of the residents of an area stretching from Anatolia and the Caucasus as far as the depths of Siberia and China. Genghis Khan has been even revered as a God who commanded the will of Tengri. Another important belief of Tengrism is the existence of Yer-su, who are spirits, found in nature, with the sole purpose of watching over the humankind. While Tengrists still exist, scarcely in Turkey and in some tribes of the Caucausus, Central Asia and Siberia, the Tengrists of Anatolia and South-West Asia as well as the Tengrists of Central Asia got conquered by Islamic Caliphates, periodically making all these areas
Islamic. While Tengrists of the Caucasus and Siberia got heavily influenced by Russian attemps at making them
Orthodox Christians, and alas, Mongols and other Eastern Tengrist tribes eventually became
Buddhist.

Hellenistic Pagans, or Ancient Greek Pagans, worship a pantheon of many different gods and goddesses, most notably the Twelve Olympians. These gods were considered to be immortal, however they were not all-powerful, or even all-good. They were subordinate in power to the concept of fate, they behaved like humans and had human vices. They also could interact with humans and even have children with humans. Some gods were specifically associated with a certain city. Athena was associated with Athens, Apollo with Delphi and Delos, Zeus with Olympia and Aphrodite with Corinth. But other gods were also worshipped in these cities. Other deities were associated with nations outside of Greece; Poseidon was associated with Ethiopia and Troy, and Ares with Thrace.
Norse
Ásatrú, also known as Norse Paganism, is one of the largest modern sects of paganism, and in Iceland, accounts for more than 1% of the entire population. Ásatrú hold the belief that there are multiple mortal Gods such as Odin, Thor and Freyja. Each God, or Áss, rules over a different part of the universe, for example thunder, war or the oceans. Æsir are not immortal, as shown by the story of the death of Baldr, nor are they omnibenevolent or omnipotent. The Æsir wage war with the Vanir, the secondary pantheon of Ásatrú. In terms of afterlife, Ásatrú believe that upon a death in combat, the soul is sent to Valhalla, hall of Odin, or Fólkvangr, hall of Freyja, where they will wait until the final battle with the Vanir at Ragnarök. Those who do not die in combat are believed to be reincarnated, with little interference from the Gods in the process.
Ásatrú is a highly liberal faith, as there is no strict dogma or holy book that teaches which exact beliefs to follow, so individuals are allowed to either devote themselves entirely to the pantheon, or simply be spiritual. Politically, Ásatrú value the preservation of the natural world, and are often environmentalists or primitivists, as well as a respect for traditional culture and faith. Ásatrú are divided over the importance of race and genetics in their religion, and subgroups espousing Odalism or
Volkism have contributed to a far-right subsection of the faith. The far-right section of Ásatrú is more prevalent in America than Europe, and most European Ásatrú are liberal to left-wing, and Ásatrúarfélagið, the largest Ásatrú association in Iceland and Europe, has publically denounced these ideologies and supported the rights of Ethnic Minorities and the LGBT community. Ásatrú is a deeply divided faith with a bad reputation in America for its connections to the Far-Right, however elsewhere around the world, and for the vast majority of Ásatrú, the religion is one of peace and tolerance that encourages pacifism and ecologism over all.

Flower wars were periodically celebrated "ritual wars" in which the participants would fight in previously accorded battles with the objective to capture war prisoners to sacrifice.
Incan
Inca Theocracy is the rule under the religion of the Inca. The Inca people were polytheistic, but their most important god was Inti, the Sun god, whom the Inca believed the Inca Emperors to be the lineal descendants of. Ruling in the governmental system was done by the Sapa who ruled over an aristocracy made up of local elites directly recruited by the by the state to serve them.
The Inca economic system has been described as a primordial form of State Socialism, the economy was centrally planned, with redistribution of goods allocated based on which places needed them the most, this measure is said to have originated mainly as a way to prevent localized famines. There was no substantial internal market economy, bartering was limited to certain regions and no form of currency was in circulation in the general population, although axe-monies were employed by the mindaláe trading class to exchange goods with outsiders. Most common use goods were distributed by the ruling class in a direct exchange for labor and the economy rested on the material foundations of the traditional Andean Vertical archipelago model which complements the access to resources between different ecozones.
Due to the currencyless nature of the Inca empire taxation took the form of mit'a corvée labor, essentially a mandatory public service that extended from the similar village community service of mink'a that still remains in place in many Quechua communities to this day. Mit'a took the form of public jobs such as the construction of road infrastructure, agricultural terraces or fortifications. Besides the Mit'a there was also a form of compulsory military service.
In 1438, under the rule of Sapa Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, the Kingdom of Cusco began a massive expansion campaign that lead the Incas to control the majority of the territory of modern day Peru. Due to the expansion a restructuration of power took place in which the Sapa was the head of the central government with 4 provincial governments controlled by strong leaders. As part of his expansionist policies the Sapa sent out spies to nearby regions he planned to expand to with messages to the leaders and presents that demonstrated the material benefits of joining the Inca empire, and would militarily conquer the ones who refused the offer.
Pachacuti's son, Túpac Inca Yupanqui, continued the expansionist policy of his father conquering most of modern day Colombia and Ecuador. Tupác's son Huayna Capac once more continued the expansionary policy of his grandpa conquering up to part of modern day Chile until the southern expansion stalled at the Battle of the Maule, turning to the west and expanding into parts of modern day Argentina and Colombia.
By 1529 the first Spanish conquistadors had arrived in the Inca empire, in 1532 a second wave had arrived with a charter allowing them to conquer Inca lands. Before this a civil war had broken out in the Inca Empire over which of Huayna Cápac's 2 sons, Huáscar and Atahualpa, would succeed him, with Atahualpa and his allies winning the war.
Among the diseases brought from Europe by the conquerors, the capture and subsequent execution of Atahualpa, the conquest of the Inca capital of Cusco (although it was briefly reconquered by the Incas) and the other military attacks, always remembering that the vast majority of the conquering army they were indigenous people displeased with the central government, the strength of the empire gradually weakened until it was completely conquered by the Spanish crown and the area was colonized, initiating a new order.

Slavo-Aryan/Hyperborea
Slavo-Aryanism is the ideology of a warlord state and formable nation called Hyperborea in the Hearts of Iron IV mod The New Order: Last Days of Europe. It is a Russian ultranationalist ideology which takes heavy influence from contemporary Hyperborean thought and ancient slavic aesthetics it believes that Slavs are the true Aryans.
They believe that prehistoric Europe was once dominated by an Aryan superculture who came from the levant that preserved their racial purity, built great works of art, and founded majestic cities. However, over time they were corrupted by deceitful Jewish interference, who manipulated them into intermarrying with lesser races and covered up their glorious heritage. Their descendants, who have fallen far but may regain their former glory, are now known as the "Slavic" people, To them, it is the Russians who are the heirs of the all-powerful Aryan race, and the Germans are actually inferior Asiatics who occupied Aryan lands at the behest of the jews so the people would achieve false racial consciousness, leading to a move away from Slavo-Aryanism.
Slavo-Aryanists believe in a syncretic mix of Slavic Paganism and other Indo-Aryan religions, who are also mixed with intense anti-semitism throughout its pratices and rituals, its mainly solidified under a belief in Perun, and also that the state should be theocratic with priests being the rulers and following the wills of the gods.
In terms of the state, Hyperborea is extremely totalitarian, with priest-kings supervising every minute detail to guarantee that all are behaving as proper aryans or proper slaves, with the High Priest being the highest position and having intense autocratic powers alongside being worshipped as a messenger of the gods, below him are the priest-kings who supervise the land, below them the priests and below them the average aryan citizens, below the aryans are all the peoples that they consider to be subhuman, who are treated as slaves, and below those are the jewish people who Slavo-Aryanists believe should be exterminated.
Slavo-Paganism rejects modern economics as either bolshevik weakness or jewish conspiracy, believing instead that the economy should be organized by priest-kings who give their orders on how the economy should be run based on the will of the gods, these Priest-Kings would also serve as supervisers and proselytizers in factories to guarantee that all are working in accordance to the ancient faith.

Imperialism - You force your religion onto our people. But when pagans did it against monotheists, it was based.
Caesarism - Well, it depends: Most were fine, I guess, Nero was devoted to me but overshot and only made Christians more popular, Julian tried to bring me back but failed, but everyone else from Constantine sucks.
Enemies
Chinese Theocracy - THE YELLOW TURBAN REBELLION WAS BASED WHY DID YOU PURGE ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I AM GLAD THOSE TENGRI NOMADS KICKED YOUR ASS!
Wait, they embraced you to some extent? Shame.Christian Theocracy - YOU GOT RID OF MY INFLUENCE OVER THE ROMAN EMPIRE! DAMN YOU THEODOSIUS!!!
Catholic Theocracy - Dare to cut my tree again. Ruined the Roman Empire you Latinized barbarians!
Orthodox Theocracy - You destroyed all of my temple! You destroyed all of my libraries and universities! I tried to survive in Sparta but you chased me there too! Disgusting fake "Greeks". Also you made the Slavs weak.
Protestant Theocracy - Scandinavia, Germania, Baltics, my Norse ancestral lands! Damn you.
Industrialism - You ruin nature!
Islamic Theocracy - "Abu Talib, your nephew has reviled our gods, denounced our religion, derided our traditional values and told us that our forefathers were misguided." Amr ibn Hisham was right.
Jewish Theocracy - Haha yeah keep seething about Hadrian! (I really don't hate Jews though, so please stop calling me an antisemite). You gave birth to those Galileans with your Yahweh!
Reactionary Socialism - Evil commie who wants to burn me at the stake.
Marxism-Leninism - Your Godlessness disgusts me. I like that you despise the Abrahamic religions but you were founded by Jews. You also don't seem to care about the environment as much as you say, given what you did to the Aral Sea!
Liberation Theology - Lol, you are just butthurt that
he likes me more than you... Stop cucking out to worshiping a Jew on a stick and betraying your ancestor's true beliefs.
Byzantine Model - Caesarism, but without any redeeming qualities
but at least hired those Odinist mercs.Kratos - STOP KILLING MY GODS YOU MONSTER!
Sikh Theocracy - You're just an Abrahamic religion disguised as a Dharmic one.
- Akhenaten - WHY'D YOU CREATE MONOTHEISM YOU [REDACTED] ?! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!
