Typical feudal countries were the feudal system implemented by the Zhou Dynasty in China from the 8th century to15th century and the western European society.

The feudal country is a country under the dictatorship of the feudal landlord class. It is a country based on feudal landlords occupying the basic means of production-land and exploiting the surplus labor of farmers (or serfs).

It was established by the landlord class with the help of slave uprising under the condition of the disintegration of slavery and the emergence of feudal relations of production. It is the second country under the dictatorship of the exploiting classes in human history. Its economic base is characterized by the feudal landlord class's possession of the means of production (mainly land) and the incomplete possession of the serfs of the production workers.

Feudal society is an agricultural society dominated by natural economy, land is the most important means of production, and land ownership is the core of production relations in feudal society. In most of the western feudal society, the feudal Lord possession system was the dominant form of land possession system; In China, the landlord system is the main form of land ownership.

The essence of these two forms of land possession is the same, that is, the land is occupied by privileged landlords, and farmers cultivate the land of lords or landlords under super-economic coercion and give their surplus labor to landlords free of charge. This determines that the main contradiction in feudal society is the contradiction between the peasant class and the big landlord class.

The feudal country based on feudal land ownership is a tool for the feudal landlord class to rule and oppress the peasant class politically in order to maintain its class rule.
