Lithuania.
It depends on the meaning of the word "oldest".
Technically Bulgaria because it's the first time a word was used to describe a set of rules within a territorry and its people.
San Marino and Bhutan have the oldest constitution.
Switzerland and Portugal have the oldest borders.
China has the oldest form of organized government/bureaucracy.
The Chinese Great Wall was the nation border line.
Mongolian and Manchurian came from the outside of the wall. They were foreigners for Han-Chinese.
Mongolian built the Yuan dynasty. Manchurian built the Qing dynasty.
Were the Tang dynasty and the Sui dynasty in the same? I'm not sure.
Egypt
le China le old is a myth. FAKE.
There is only one civilization in the world (european).

And now chinese discover every year "old" manuscripts, dynasties, etc.

Is this actually what russians believe? People say America has shitty education but Goddamn
>>57557704
Dunno about Russia. But we gloss over Asia completely in history class.
Apart from Turkey, Persia and the middle east the first time we mention Asia is when Japan industrializes.
