The hierarchy runs like this:
Pope
/ | \
Archbishop Archbishop Archbishop (generally one per kingdom)
/ | \
Bishop Bishop Bishop (in theory one per admin
/ \ county)
Dean Dean (admin position controlling
/ | \ several parishes
Vicar Vicar Vicar (one per parish/church, also
referred to as rector or
simly priest)Swiss theorcracy
. Though, why not . Outside the realms of historical novels theocracies have hardly existed. The closest is Tibet before the Chinese. Even Tibet had an aristocracy so it's OK to have one. If we're still within history in the broad sense, bishops/archbishops were also aristocrats. Of course, there is a rather iron-clad ethnographic rule that priests may not shed blood except at the altar (in ritually clean circumstances). This is why somebody that can shed blood on the battlefield is needed. He is usually referred to as king. If the head priest and the king are the same, we are talking about archaic political structures (Mayans, Aztecs) and the person is simply a king, not a priest.
Of course, when you have a king and a head priest of equal status the relationship is strained, to say the least. Only thing to do is to kill the priest.
There is no problem som big and complicated that a row of bearded heads on stakes cannot make it go away
.
Switzerland is more commonly known as a democracy, rather than a theocracy.
It uses a form of confederate democracy based upon the administrative unit 'canton' which can be of any size, and in which all citizens get to vote about almost everything.
Switzerland kicked out nobility as fast as possible, and instead got powerful burghers (city dwellers like merchants and such, people who had power beacuse of wealth, not birth)
In the 17th and 18th centuries patrician families would become like nobility since money, like titles, proved to be inheritable.

lol... thats not how the church hierachy works
bishops are not under arch-bishops... Arch-bishops are simply bishops of arch-diosese, or there REALLY IMPORTANT ONES... Its goes... pope, bishop (or archbishop) and then priest... there are also cardinals who happen to be bishops or priests that have been given that honorable title for some great service to the church, and then they can vote for the pope
any more questions

Theoretically there is no hierarchy. The Pope is just the bishop of Rome. He owns his preeminence from being the guardians of the keys to heaven through being the canonical successor to Ss. peter and Paul.
When the theoretically equal episcopal offices of the Church were organized into a hierachy by the Emperor Charlemagne in the 780s - the title archbishop is an invention of his advisors - the archbishop was intended to supervise the bishops of his diocese. The archbishop was the head of the council formed by the bishops of the diocese - the major et sanior pars in all matters of dispute. In fact, the relationship of an archbishop to his suffragans was identical to that of the pope to all bishops. As in all organisations there was considerable internal strife and the Pope definitely undermined archiepiscopal authority. But archepiscopal sees were always far wealthier than suffragan, thus producing more actual power, had higher civil and ritual status (capitals of Roman military dioceses, more and more powerful saints).
IF you look at orders of prcendence for the Holy Roman Empire you notice that archbishops ranked over bishops. If you looka at the plurality practices you'll find that most suffragan sees were adjuncts to its episcopal (Mainz held Würzburg, Cologne held allof its suffragans with the exception of Münster, etc etc).
The workings of the contemporary catholic Church is rather irrelevant to the question as posed.
The cardinals. BTW, were originally the priests of the parish churches of Rome, ie the men that elected the Pope as bishop of Rome.
And the bishop of Rome is precisely that. His opinions ought really not to be taken seriously by anybody else - come to think of it.

News flash from Portuguese India
[Reuters Lisboa] Summer 1723
The Viceroy of Portuguese India, Erich-Karl von Habsburg, confirmed reports that UFOs were sighted for a second time in last two decades over most of the Viceroyality. Hundereds of thousands of subjects from Goa to Hyderbad to Yannam reported seeing the fast moving objects.
The Governor General of Macau confirmed widespread reports of UFOs over his province and the Portuguese trading posts in Taiwan.
Oddly, the UFOs caused no stability or revolt problems, unlike the occasional meteors spotted in the same areas. Trading on the Parlakmidi Trade Exchange remained calm, closing at 1319, up 5% from last year.

March 13, 1467: Austria declares war on you...
March 23, 1467: Venice declares war on you...
March 28, 1467: Helvetia declares war on you...

Aragon DoW castille... again...
"oops, did i hit 'war taxes'
Tuscany accepts offer of annexation...
"about $#@$@'n time"

Hallo, there.
Do you fancy yourself a world conqueror? Finding yourself laughing with glee when your Elizabeth of England bashes the Spaniards to pieces or your King Louis le Bon of France shows the HRE what for? Do you find yourself getting into the personality of your digitized monarchs, or perhaps just a fan of roleplaying in general? Are you a schemer? A plotter? A breaker of nations?
Then come on over to the EU RPG! Yeah, that's it, right at the bottom of the boards list. Take up the role of a Muslim minor and push the Christian heathens out of the East. Take up a German state and plot your way into the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. Take up a Christian state with a cardinal and take hold of the papal tiara. There are infinite possibilities, and almost infinite spots open still waiting for magnificent RPers such as yourself, so heigh on over to the RPG and find one that tickles your fancy.
Don't merely play Europa Universalis. Change it forever.
