Dictatorships like Cuba and North Korea might say they have parties, but they also call themselves democracies or republics.
Can’t remember if we still have any royalty that are actual heads of states without an elected ruling body upholding their decisions, but those would have zero parties if any still exist.
Russia and China still have ruling parties even if their head has almost complete control. If Putin or Xi were removed, it would be through the party selecting someone else. North Korea is basically a monarchy.
Personally I view it as flawed as for most listed countries the lived reality is a single party system, often theocratic in nature. But do think it’s feasible to imagine a country with a high degree of self autonomy free of foreign influence operating as a precolonial society would, and political discussions aren’t as involved in factionalism and are more focused on individuals with ideas for the collective
No, other countries tend to have 0, 1, or way more than 2 parties
What’s a country with 0?
Vatican city

I’d put Russia, China, Iran and Afghanistan before Cuba.

Dprk maybe?
Hehe, ‘democracy’ with two right wing parties still amuses me.
