If you really want to be a dictator, then there are plenty of opportunities for you!
Dictators are the undisputed rulers of their own nations who keep in power through coercion or brutally oppressing their peoples. There are fewer dictatorships in the world today, and many use the cloak of democracy to cover their tracks, but in the lesser developed places of Africa, Asia and South America a dictator can still rule!
If you wish to be a dictator, let me give you some advice on getting into power.
1. You can overthrow an existing democracy and take control.: Using subterfuge and sabotage you can rally the people behind you to overthrow non-functional democracies and create your new nation! If you're good at public speaking, lying and tricking stupid people then this is the route for you! Plus, with overthrowing existing democracies or sudo-democracies a lot of the work building and establishing the country is already done. Stick a new label on that baby and the countries yours!

2. You can raise an army in a small nation and easily overthrow the existing rulers.: Example after example of this continues in Africa today. Sure, the country you will inherit is weak, powerless, corrupt and most likely bankrupt, the people might be uneducated, poor and starving. But hey, you're 'El Presidente' of those starving masses! In Africa right now (08/13/2013) there are separatist movements attempting to overthrow and rebel against their governments all over the place. To really make sure your rebellion sticks and other countries don't come in to stop you, you had best make sure that the country you are overthrowing is rich in natural resources or that you have some powerful allies overseas, otherwise the US, UN or some other scoot could come in and force you out of power! Make sure to offer your nations precious minerals cheap and the country can be all yours. This method has a few steps to it.
-Raise an army: little armies come cheap and with AK-47s at low low $5-10 dollar prices in Africa you can be sure to have all the weapons you'll need. Small African nations often have few allies, small poorly-trained armies with old outdated equipment, so get a few homies with grenade launchers and the place is practically yours! With so many weapons and mercenaries floating around after the Arab Spring, you could definitely round up a small posse with no problems.

-Keep in power: offer your friends and enemies a better deal than the previous regime by lowering all rights for workers, letting companies pollute your nation and offering sweet deals for mineral exploration companies.
