It really could only be fully practiced in Japan (or more accurately, by the Japanese), as the very concept of Bushido was centered around a loyalty to the very country of Japan and to Shinto, a religion that, by its own beliefs, you can only be born into. You must be among the indirect descendants of the gods and goddesses in order to honor your familial ties to them.

That being said, I am sure that there are plenty of people who practice something very close to Bushido here and there around the globe.
