Years Unchanged

The United States of America will be 250 years old on July 4, 2026.

It is one of the oldest Countries in the World (that has remained unchanged  - i.e. a Republic for that whole time.)

 

I know it is Controversial, but I believe a Country’s age doesn’t depend on only when it was First Founded, but when the Last Major Government Restructuring Occurred.

Example: Some People may think that Germany is 155 years old (since it was Unified in 1871), but I consider Germany to be 77 years old (when West Germany was created in 1949) and not 36 years old (when West Germany and East Germany reunited in 1990) because the Current Germany is a continuation of West Germany with the eastern part added to it.
