What country was the last to give up the Feudal System?

Before this question can be properly answered, you need to define what you mean by "feudalism." Feudalism is a concept that has been debated in previous threads, and is a term that is not particularly favored by historians. Some would potential argue that feudalism is still in existence today. Perhaps what you are asking is what was the last country to employ Serfdom.

I believe Sark is considered the last feudal state in Europe, although some election reforms were made in 2008. The island is governed by a Seigneur, a feudal lord. I am not an expert, however.
