Daily reminder that Venetian Republic was longest continuous form of government in history and monarchies, empires, dictatorships are child plays compared to serious business and glory of the Doge.

I'm Greek and the best times my hometown ever saw since antiquity was under Venetian rule.
Praise the Doge.

That's the Roman Empire, and it would have been even longer if it hadn't been for cowardly backstabbing Venetian pirate scum.

The Roman Empire was founded by Julius Caesar
>>807176
Roman Empire lasted from 27 BC to 1453. Even if you only go as far as 1204, that's still 1231 years.

your terms are a bit wrong there :^)

look up san marino
French monarchy lasted 1306 consecutive years.

No, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire are both direct, legal descendants of the original undivided Roman Empire
>>807194
The Roman Empire was split into two halves. Do you really think it makes sense to trace the origins of the institutions and cultures that made up both halves of the Empire back to 285 AD?

Seriously though, neither the Republic of Venice nor the Roman Empire even come close to the total amount of time that the Pharaohs ruled the Nile River valley. Even if you count the High Imperial period and the Byzantine period as a single entity, that still doesn't even encompass half of the total number of years that the Ancient Egyptians ruled supreme

San Marino is a meme, it became independent in the 13th century.

Egypt was repeatedly conquered, divided, and had dozens of regime changes in that time.

Who cares? Pharaohs are still Pharaohs.

That's definitely an improvement, anon. Why isn't it flying, though? It's disrespectful to leave the flags of based states lying on the floor.

Sorry :(
I'll put it on a wall or something. Probably put it on a flag pole

But these regime changes and even entire interregnums resulted not in a fundamental change to their structure of government, but merely the installation of a new ruling family. Even Egypt's final ruling family, the Greek Ptomelaic dynasty, made it a point to use Egyptian Pharaonic customs such as wearing the make-up and marrying their siblings.
The Romans were the ones who permanently severed the line when Augustus Caesar made the entire country his own private residence. The fact that it was the breadbasket of the Empire wasn't a coincidence.

The Roman Empire had plenty of dynasty changes too
>>807472
Dynasty changes aren't the same as actual regime changes though.
Different families took control of the steering wheel of Rome, but they were still driving the same car.
visited Friuli in 2014, you can see the lion carved into lots of buildings and houses near mailboxes
I'm convinced this is the most aesthetic flag that has ever existed
>>807507
But that's basically the same story with ancient Egypt. The Pharaonic system was resilient for over 3,000 years
