To what does Paul refer when he said “Higher Powers” in Romans 13:1?

1. Would Paul’s comment include all tyrannical governments without the people rising up against them?

Rom 13:1 (BLB) Let every soul be subject to the authorities being
above him. For there is no authority except by God; but those existing
are having been instituted by God.

Rom 13:1 (KJV) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For
there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Rom 13:1 (ESV) Let every person be subject to the governing
authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those
that exist have been instituted by God.
