Nothing. A young clearly immature nation barely out of their teen years making a ruckus about being 'independant'. Well, prove it! Be an adult for once!!

    Uh... The US government is one of the longest continually running ones. Most other countries were either formed later or had some major revolution.

    The only 2 older governments I can think of are the UK and Japan

    Your reading comprehension is lacking.

    I was referring to current governments, and even noted that revolutions change that.

    "Aquisition of Sovereignty" doesn't fit that definition.

    "Date of last Subordination" is closer, but still not correct (US is #3 oldest in this category btw)

    Check the 2nd section titled "List of countries by current form of government". Aka, exactly what I was referring to. And it turns out that the only country the US government is younger than is San Marino.

    Turns out that colonialism, 2 World Wars, and the Cold War weren't particularly conducive to longevity of governments

    That makes it pretty clear why you're wrong. You're too lazy to read what you were quoting. Be better.

    Ah, yes. How could I forget the most notorious country: your local pizza place

    If a pizza manages to be there for that long... Can you image the country around it?

    Listen, I know, but we here are just getting so fed up with American exceptionalism. Especially in the Trump empire timeline.
