Which feudal countries exist in 2006?

Baloo55th

In the strictest sense, none. Feudalism as a system was in Europe, and has been dead there for a long time. The nearest thing now would be countries like Saudi Arabia, but they are more absolute monarchies than feudal. In a feudal system, the responsibilty for defending your superior gets passed downwards along with land or money to pay for it. In an absolute monarchy, all that gets passed downwards is orders. Japan came sort of close to feudalism, but in a different way, but is now a constitutional monarchy (like the UK is). Jan 08 06, 3:50 PM
