Yep, in Kazakhstan almost every government web service uses XML signatures for interoperating. Of course nobody sees it outside of those systems, but it's everywhere inside. I have no idea about other countries, but I would not be surprised to find out that there are many other similar countries or organizations where that stuff works inside. You won't know about it until you touch it.

Here in Brazil too, for instance the NF-e (electronic "nota fiscal", the English term seems to be "receipt", the documentation is at http://www.nfe.fazenda.gov.br) and the recently released digital payment network (PIX, see https://www.bcb.gov.br/content/estabilidadefinanceira/cedsfn... for the current release of the relevant manual) both use XMLDSig.
