I think my answer to such bragging would have been to list all the European, Asian, and S American countries I've been to, ending with Germany's contribution to "foreign policy" by mentioning Auschwitz

Thanks. That's what I've been thinking also, but there is San Marino which Tirno pointed out has been a constitutional republic since the 1600s

So there is one older

Yeah, just try and follow the histories of Denmark OR Sweden...I'm not so sure they know their own histories...

Thanks, but like the British monarch, they don't have any power anymore...so, different form of government.
But Sweden definitely qualifies as older than the US

Denmark replaced their monarch in 1849, so a different form of government...

Thanks, it's really hard to find any countries that are actually older than the US

flicka47 — Mon, 18 May 2026 20:25:06 -0000

So all 3 are younger than the US?

Thanks.
Any others that qualify?

OK, just list the ones you know aren't as old as the US. I'll start...
France
Germany
Italy
Poland
Russia
Ukraine
Czech Republic
Croatia
Georgia
Japan
N Korea
S Korea
Thailand
Egypt
Syria
Iran
Iraq

Those are just off the top of my head. Can you name one that is older??

flicka47 — Mon, 18 May 2026 20:02:39 -0000

Name a country with a continuous government that is older than the US.

I'm not really sure even Britain qualifies...King George was the ruler, not Parliament in 1776...

No, it's closer to 45% of Californians are registered as Republican. But the districts are rigged in such a way that in most cases the Rs are the minority. so we get no representation...

And not just that. Anything that affects California also affects the rest of the country.

Sooo, Scotland and Ireland are "nations", making the UK what???

The British "Empire" has been dead since the early 1900s, it's just taken many, many, many years for anyone to finally realize that. (Pride?)

And, maybe the problem is that too many folks (like yourself) are equating "empire" with "nationalism", they are NOT the same

I know it's a completely different world for insurance than it was say, 80 or 100 years ago, but wouldn't the risks have been more during WWII? Why the panic now?
