FPTP anywhere it's used. The UK. The US (for individual Senate or HoR races, as well as each state's decision of how its College Electors are chosen). A majority of the seats in Taiwan and South Korea. Among a bunch of others. Though certainly, most of the most functional democracies avoid FPTP, because by its very nature FPTP is undemocratic.
