Are there any societies/nations that use Torah laws?

There are societies that use Sharia laws. Are there any societies that use Torah laws? I know that the Torah influences some societies to enact some "far fetch" laws. Christians, for example, use, "Don't commit adultery" in Torah, to prohibit porn, fornication, prostitution, concubinage, and polygamy. However, I know no country where adultery is actually punished by stoning because of Torah. Moreover, most Jews and Christians, live in secular countries. I do not see they use Torah laws. Are any countries still using laws based on Torah? For example: The penalty for stealing in Torah is returning 7 times the amount stolen. Any country does that? The penalty for deflowering a virgin is paying the bride price. Any country does that?
