Probably Italy. All institutions and many households still have a working but unused fax line in Italy (which most photocopiers still support). Many documents can only be transferred either in person or by fax.
We are not savages, we have low cost multi-gigabit optic-fiber household connections available in the majority of cities. Our bureaucracy is just anachronistic.
Germany-Italy-Japan the Faxes-Axis remains strong.
USA too for a lot of shit, now that we’re an axis power I guess
So many of those fax lines are just email servers in a trench coat in the US though
