A threads post saying “There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America’s 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that’s already been said.” It has a reply saying “My local pub is older than your country”.

        Are we speaking of government or established nation with defined borders in the original post?

        As I understand it, it is refering to nation, not government.

        That is not what defines its existence as a country though. If so then the US only dates to the 1990s with its latest constitutional amendment.
