> 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.
