This may be true, if, the decision-making is exclusive of the ruler of the place where jonh lives.

That's because the word autocracy comes from the Greek, and means government by itself.

It is a political regime in which laws and decisions are based on the ruler's convictions. In autocracy, the power of the leader is absolute and unlimited, and the government ends up having its policies confused with the personal actions of the autocrat, as a personalization of power.
