Answer 1
As far as I know and although it has been heavily argued, Switzerland is the only country practicing direct democracy at almost all levels of decision making and officials' election. Many countries in the world will use direct democracy but in most cases that is restricted to referendums, at the contrary of Switzerland where any citizen or group of citizens may challenge any law at any time, provided they can gather a certain number of signatures.
Answer 2
The country with (an almost perfect) direct democracy is Switzerland (5 million voters), the voters decide on national referendums and initiatives 2-4 times a year.
In the USA (the federal government is an example of an indirect democracy) the State of California (20 million voters) is an example of direct democracy another example are the town meetings in some of the New England States (e.g. Vermont) which are held about once a year to decide local issues.
