The answer is: theocratic.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Communist: This form of government is characterized by the control of political power by a single party that advocates for a classless system where the means of production are owned communally. It is not necessarily based on religious principles.

  2. Tribal: This form of government is based on the organization of society into tribes or clans, often with a focus on kinship and traditional customs. It does not inherently involve governance according to religious principles.

  3. Theocratic: This form of government is where political power is monopolized by a party, group, or individual that governs according to religious principles. Examples include Iran, where the Supreme Leader holds significant power based on Islamic law.

  4. Representative: This form of government is characterized by elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. It is not defined by religious principles.

  5. Right-wing: This term refers to a political ideology that often emphasizes tradition, hierarchy, and nationalism. While some right-wing governments may incorporate religious elements, it is not a defining characteristic of right-wing totalitarianism.

Therefore, the correct answer is theocratic, as it specifically refers to a government where political power is based on religious principles.
