FYI: The USA ain’t that old. They’re basically the international equivalent of the teenager that hit puberty too early and is now a foot taller and 50lbs heavier than the other teenagers, but still a teenager.

It’s actually the one of if not the oldest country with the same form of government today as it had for the past ~250 years. “South Korea” wasn’t really a country back then. The UK was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (now it’s Northern Ireland). France was still a monarchy or else was on its 1st republic (now it’s on its 5th republic I think).

Same sort of government or same label for the type of government?
