I submit that you might be looking at "government" in the wrong light
here.  It is true that there is no geographical "Christland".  Yet, I
submit that the Theocracy is very much alive, in the form of a loose
United Church.  Some of us may dwell in one of the Catholic, Protestant
or Pentecostal "states".  Yet we are united in following our
Priest-King, Jesus Christ, who is orchestrating his people - regardless
of our socio-political backgrounds - to accomplish quite amazing
things.  

If you go back to the Old Testament, God did not want His people to have
a king like all the other nations.  He was to be His people's king.
That is what we today are all about - serving the King of kings.  So
yes, I see that form of government on earth. :-)

Blessings,
Don
