No country that I'm aware of uses direct democracy as the only form of governing. Sometimes Republics let the people vote "yes" or "no" on a decision, and tend to go with whichever side got a majority - even do they don't have to and it has happened that governments have a popular vote but still don't listen to the majority. Letting the people vote on certain decisions is the closest to a direct democracy any country gets today.
