Necrocracy is a form of government which a person who is deceased, usually a past monarch, still holds a position of power in the nation which they once ruled. This often comes in the form of the necrocratic leader holding the position of Head of State or a symbolistic role.
There is only one known historic and present necrocracy on Eurth, being Namdatka in the Orient. Namdatka is lead by Ugyen Gongsar, who passed away in 1930. He acts as their head of state but is more of a ceremonial role with the people of Namdatka being afraid to overthrow his position as it is believed in their religion that he is the direct descendent of a goddess.
Etymology
