(C) Iraq
(D) Saudi Arabia

Correct Answer : Saudi Arabia
Question Asked : SSC Tax Assistant (Income Tax & Central Excise) Exam 2007
Explanation : Saudi Arabia, officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is an absolute monarchy, although, according to the Basic Law of Saudi Arabia adopted by royal decree in 1992, the king must comply with Sharia (that is, Islamic law) and the Quran. The Quran and the Sunnah (the traditions of Muhammad) are declared to be the country’s constitution, but no written modern constitution has ever been written for Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia remains the only Arab Nation where no national elections have ever taken place, since its creation. No political parties or national elections are permitted.
