Explanation: France, sometimes memetically considered a poster child for government instability, is currently on their Fifth Republic. The First French Republic was founded in 1792, and their Fifth (and current) was founded in 1958.
South Korea is currently on their Sixth Republic. Their First Republic was in 1948 - and their Fifth ended in 1988.

I think the meme of regime instability is justified. In between the five Republics there were also several other regimes like the Consulate, 1st Empire, Restoration, 100 Days, Second Restoration, July Monarchy, 2nd Empire, and Vichy.

100 days and July monarchy lol
What’s next, Tuesday Le Pen Dictatorship and 9 September 3 PM empire?
We’ve had a bunch of those here in Ukraine, too. Took a while to establish the latest iteration, though.
