Judaism is a name of a religion, not a country.

Self-identified adherents of Judaism ("Jews") have been surveyed and counted in

about 135 countries of the world, and amount to 0.2% (two tenths of one percent)

of the world's total population.

The historical homeland of the Jews is the country known as "Israel", but until

recently, they had no control and few rights in the area for almost 2,000 years,

and for several Centuries, far fewer than half of the Jews in the world lived there.

Following a series of modern political events, Israel was re-established as a Jewish

nation in 1948, and Immigration of Jews to Israel has been active since then. They

are still present in over 130 countries, but around 50% of the world's Jews now

live in Israel.

Note that Israel designates no official state religion, and there are no religious

'tests' there for citizenship, land or business ownership, voting, or the right to

hold public office.
