Virtually all countries practice feudalism. Feudalism, by definition, is distribution according to birth. Therefore, inheritance, for example, can be considered a feudal practice. Since no country in the world has a 100% tax on inheritance (although Japan at times comes pretty darn close), it must be concluded that all countries practice feudalism in this particular respect...

Beltistan, check it out.
The Incorporated States of Beltistan Location: Skoda
The Incorporated States of Beltistan is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 839 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.
Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Beltistan has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, and a survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Beltistan's national animal is the robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
Beltistan is ranked 1st in the region and 117,687th in the world for Best Weather.
