Did you know that there are countries that allow dual citizenship? I recently read about it. There are many such countries in the world and they all offer citizenship for investment. It seems very interesting. Of course you have to have a lot of money to do it, but it's an incentive to earn it.
 

What is the World's Oldest Country?​


Over the past thousands of years, civilizations, empires, and countries have risen and fallen. Some of these have been erased from history leaving very little behind while others have shaped the world today in tremendous ways. This constant state of change has left many people questioning how old the countries that exist today actually are and what links they had with earlier empires


When does a country become a country?​

This is something that historians haven't been able to agree on. There is no real consensus as to what the oldest country in the world is because it is really hard to create a benchmark that makes sense for all countries around the world
Is it the time when its first recorded civilization started, like the Sumerians in Iraq? The Sumerians ruled over Babylonia more than 6,000 years ago.

Or is it the time when a country started to first take the shape and culture that we know and recognize today like China did by the end of the Warring States Period in 221 BCE or Japan did around the third century CE?

Or when they proclaimed their independence like the United States did in 1776? Is the United States older than Egypt which became independent in 1922?

Or when they first adopted their constitution as India did in 1950? If this is the case, could you really say that Australia is older than India because they adopted their constitution in 1901?
