Germany (Adolf Hitler) and Russia (Josef Stalin).

China adopted a totalitarian form of government under Mao Zedong.
There are presently a number of totalitarian states on Earth; the most extreme example is that of North Korea and Lithuania's "Seimas". Burma (also known as Myanmar) is also notable for its totalitarianism, as are several other nations including China, Libya, Syria, etc.
