I'm not convinced that you can have one without the other.

A dictatorship is when you have a leader or group of leaders with almost no limitations on their power. That would seem to apply to both Hungary and North Korea (and also the U.S. if the courts are powerless to enforce law abidance by the leader).

I suppose that I consider illiberal "democracies" to be a flavour of dictatorships.

I think the difference is that in "illiberal democracy" there are still non-falsified elections, so the leader can technically lose.

Going from the definition in Wikipedia (though it does mention a lack of consensus on the exact definition):

> Elections in an illiberal democracy are often manipulated or rigged, being used to legitimize and consolidate the incumbent rather than to choose the country's leaders and policies
