TranscriptA 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".

Because the concept of a nation state is not much older, no? American Independence and French Revolution were among the first movements.

Isn't it kinda interesting, that the first nation is still a thing? France is in it's 5th iteration.

The concept of countries, which is what this is about, are a lot older.
