Are there any countries like this?

If Christianity ruled the county
|
Something like other theocratic societies. Not too far from the extremist middle eastern countries where women have to hide themselves and people are killed for going against the grain. We've seen what theocracies are like, and the christians who want that apparently think things will be different if Jesus is the one they're worshiping.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)  RE: If Christianity ruled the county

The country would go bankrupt... Christians would have faith that other countries would pay their debt to us...and we all know having faith is ridiculous. .....
Very broad question.
It depends on which form of Christianity. If very conservative, then, as has been stated, we'd end up with a country similar to Middle Eastern theocracies. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Yea but what church would rule, there are so many of them who read the bible differently ?.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
