Which countries force women to wear the hijab or any type of head covering?

Please give a source too because I cannot find out myself. Thank you.

Update:

Well, I say force because there are countries that do force the wearing of the hijab, I just do not recall which ones.

    The only countries I know of that make women wear hijab are Iran and Saudi Arabia. It used to be Afghanistan as well. Now in Afghanistan it isn't mandatory by law but there is a lot of social pressure to wear hijab.

    She's right. why do you use the word force??

    You don't even have to search the net if that was your Q. but in case you mean which countries in which the religion makes it hard for the woman not to cover herself up in extreme ways:

    Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the small countries surrounding Saudi Arabia,

    The countries in which the views seem to more liberal: Pakistan, Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon
