According to the worldwide democracy index, which surveys 167 nations (omitting 24 virtually universally recognised sovereign nation-states, 2 largely recognised states and 10 nations with limited recognition), there are 50 "authoritarian regimes" in the world at large. This means that approximately 29% of all nations surveyed were concerned principally autocratic in nature, meaning that at least 24% of all nations in the world can be regarded as autocratic. Including nations that are not on the list, the final percentage is probably somewhere in the vicinity of 27%.

It must be noted, however, that it is very difficult to determine precisely which nations are autocratic. The complexities of various political systems of authoritarian regimes and hybrid regimes makes it hard to decide where one draws the line between autocratic and not; Russia, for example, is widely regarded as having an autocratic government, but not an autocratic government system. China, on the other hand, has an autocratic system but not necessarily an autocratic government. As such, it is impossible to provide a true percentage figure.
