> more than 100 states out of 167 are democracies,

They're not.

The current https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index lists 22 "full democracies", 64 "flawed democracies" and 24 "hybrid regimes".

  22+64 = 86
  86/167 = 51.5%

Majority of countries are democracies.

86 < 100

less than 100 states are democracies

Whether they are a majority or not is irrelevant to what lazyjones said.

Hybrid regimes are defined as "Hybrid regimes are nations with regular electoral frauds, preventing them from being fair and free democracies.", so they ARE democracies with regular electoral frauds.

86 + 24 = 110 > 100

More than 100 states are democracies.

Democracies like… for example Belarus?

I can't think of a single real democracy that isn't deeply flawed except for Switzerland.

What is so special about Switzerland then? How is it so much better than say NZ?

It's the only direct democracy in the world, where the people really vote on issues instead of on representatives. For example, we don't really have a president. Laws written by parliament are put to quarterly nation-wide ballots.

I get to vote on what I believe is right on every issue, instead of getting tricked by politicians who have positions that they later compromise on.

> For example, we don't really have a president.

This actually nothing to do with being a direct democracy. You still have an executive cabinet selected by (but not responsible to) parliament. It's just that every member of the executive is selected by the parliament, instead of the parliament selecting a leader who picks the rest.

You can still get tricked by politicians. America has very many citizens-initiated referenda, but it cannot be said to have improved their democratic outcomes.
