Here is a comprehensive, up-to-date list of the world's dictators, with photos. We define a dictator as the ruler of a land rated "Not Free" by Freedom House in their annual survey of freedom (essay | data).
Further information: A plan for democratic governments to aid the removal of the world's dictators and promote universal democracy is given in Ambassador Mark Palmer's book, "Breaking the Real Axis of Evil: How to Oust the World's Last Dictators by 2025". Prof. Gene Sharp's book "From Dictatorship to Democracy" is a strategic guide for dissidents seeking to bring down dictators by nonviolent coercion. The Power Kills web site, by Prof. Rudolph Rummel, compares dictatorship to democracy.
