We covered this in
the other thread. It's a list of the countries mentioned in the wiki article on modern day slavery.
Including:

Illegal enslavement of agricultural labor persists in Florida in the United States. The Modern-Day Slavery Museum documents seven cases, involving over 1,000 people kept in slavery, of farm labor servitude successfully prosecuted in the US courts there in the past fifteen years. Singling out Florida may give a false impression, since, in the 1980s, cases involving agricultural slavery in the USA were prosecuted across the Southeast states

The list is obviously not all-inclusive, but it does give an idea of how widespread the issue is.
To update the wiki list with the political system:
Sudan: Muslim/Christian (Authoritarian state, but technically democracy)
China: Buddhist/Taoist. (Single-party state, Communist)
Nepal: Hindu. (Democracy)
India: Hindu/Muslim. (Democracy)
Brazil: Christianity. (Democracy)
Mauritania: Muslim. (Democracy)
Niger: Muslim. (Democracy)
Iraq: Muslim. (Democracy)
Ivory Coast: Muslim/Christian. (Democracy)
Haiti: Christian. (Democracy)
As you can see, there's only one communist country on that list. All the others are democracies with strong religious roots.
