Only countries that are ruled by an Islamic form of Government, currently that is Iran.

According to Wikipedia:
"In states ruled by Islamic law, jizya or jizyah (Arabic: جزْية) is a per capita tax imposed on free non-Muslim adult males who are neither old nor sick nor monks, known as dhimmis, in exchange for being allowed to live, practice their faith, subject to certain conditions, and to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy as well as being "entitled to Muslim protection from outside aggression and being exempted from military service". Taxation from the perspective of dhimmis who came under the Muslim rule, was "a concrete continuation of the taxes paid to earlier regimes" (but now lower under the Muslim rule) and from the point of view of the Muslim conqueror was a material proof of the dhimmi's subjection."
