Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem.

This is kind of a hilarious post from a US perspective. Legitimate question from the perspective of some European countries, hilariously naive trying to apply it to the US.

There are Americans that believe the US is one of the oldest countries in the world ie. if you start counting from when nation-states became a thing. Its a super hilarious question from an Indian, Chinese or African perspective.

We get called the oldest democracy currently in existence. But that streak appears to have ended.
