Authoritarian states are states in which either one person or a group of people rule through a mandate, not through free elections. Also, whatever they say goes. Examples of authoritarian states are oligarchies (rule by a group of elites), dictatorships (rule by one person as the leader), absolute monarchies (where the ruler inherits his/her power by bloodline and rules w/o any limitation; not to be confused with constitutional monarchies), juntas (rule by the military), and theocracies (rule by the state religion's leaders). There are 51 authoritarian states today. North Korea is the most authoritarian state.
In a democracy, they have elections with the following elements: free from coercion, fairly applying the rules, and open to all its citizen.
