Liberal democracy is now the least common regime type, hosting less than 12% of the world’s population.

Interesting example on how the selection of indicators matter for analyses.
Political science scholars do not often use the Democracy Index, see here: tinyurl.com/3d2rz2kh
Instead, most often we rely on the V-DEM, although it also notes a certain decline in Spain's score.
