Lets see a few off the top of my head...

Many parts of the British Empire until 1833.

Most Spanish ruled South America.

Russia until 1851.

Most of the Barbary Coast states up until the late 1800's.

Most pre-colonial african cultures.

Most of the "classical" ancient world.

Much of Europe pre 1400's.

Slavery is still legal and practiced in Mauritania and Sudan. http://www.iabolish.org/
