Can you elaborate what you mean by this question? There were independent entities in the ancient world rules by Jews with primarily Jewish inhabitants. There were also states in the late antique and medieval worlds in which Jewish rulers ruled over non-Jewish populations. But I’m not sure if either of those is what you’re looking for information about.
