I will just remind you: Bulgaria was established in 165 AD. |

China wasn't even called China until 221 BC when the Chin dynasty was established. Before it was composed of several warring states each with their own ruler. Even after this dynasty was established it fell after only 20 years following by a sucession of other dynasties. So China is not even close to being 5000 years old much less the oldest country in the world. |

San Marino is the oldest united country, that has remained intact. |

Well, we can not really say which country is the world oldest country but I think Egypt(7500), Persia (Iran8000) are one of the oldest countries of the world. |
|
|
...China was unified under the Qin Emperor in 221 BC...what the hell are you arguing about - San Mariano is older than Hungary - 301 AD, Hungary isn't old. |

well kami, i have to say that i am agree with you, i am not persian, but from what i have learnt, persia is the oldest in the world, but it does'nt exist enumore, but still, non of u people said the oldest country, which still exist. but anyway, i have to say that persian flag is the oldest in world, actually used to be, becasue 27 years ago Islamic Republic Changed the Logo of the flag (only the logo inside), but if u look at ut, logo does'nt make a big deal, any way, the flag of persia goes back to 9th century ago, older that any other flag, and i have to say that this people have diffrent flag before that, but muslims destroyed it, the new flag has been made by " King Mahmood Ghaznavi" in 1031, older that anyother flag still in existance, and i have to say that persia is DAMN OLDDDD... |

The CIA world factbook lists Hungary as the oldest country of the world. It is an independent country since 896 AD and recognized as an independent state since 1001 AD. (Bulgaria was under Turkish rule for more than 500 years, please people....) |

Bulgaria is the Europeans oldest country that have remained with the same name for about 1300-1400 years.It is founded for a first time in 630 a.c. and in the actual theritory in 681 a.c.!It's in the books!!! |

OH, P.S. England is probably the newest culture to be in existance. It is a dialect of French and German. Northern France was once belonging to Germany. France took it over and thus the Germans were forced to conform. Soon enough a dialect became present and the new people spoke what we now know as English. They moved away to an Island they decided to call...England...and voila! P.S. Why do you think Bretagne is up north in France... |
|
|
France is the second oldest country AD. However I think Greece must be the oldest. In any case, all countries (e.g. England, France) have been occupied thousands of years BC at some pt. |

Though India became as a country only after britishers rule it was split up into many kingdoms before their regime. it was not a country till then but still their kingdoms worshipped Sun and their religion was the oldest. even today the hindus worship the sun god which was the first religion in the world. This proves that India should have been the oldest kingdom in the world. feedbacks welcome |

the issue about iran being the oldest country is bs. iran was founded just after the first world war by the colonial power of great britain before world war 1 it was known as persia divided numerous of time by other nations of war one of them being arabians and also the britains so iran is not the oldest country in the world neither is bulgary since its been divide by the roman empire and was in the state of turmoil right after the fall of the roman empire the oldest nation and country is denmark and it has existed since around 430a.d. the official flag of denmark also the oldest in the world came to around 1174 the monarchy of denmark has existed since before year 800 a.d. making Denmark not only the oldest nation but also the oldest monarchy in the world this is historic fact and not speculations look instead of just guessing your own country to be the oldest the first official king of england was a danish viking lord called kanute the great read the books people its out there. |

I think that Iran is the oldest country |

One of the oldest countries and maybe the oldest is Bulgaria. The first Bulgarian state in Europe is found 165 AD.Bulgars as nation are known since 5th centuty BC.Later in 631 AD is found the Old Great Bulgaria(also called Bulgaria of Kubrat) in the area between the Black sea and the Caspian sea.In present borders the state of Bulgaria was established in 681 AD.In that year khan Asparuh, son of Kubrat and leader of a branch of the nomadic Bulgars who were imigrating in their search of new land and living,crossed the Danube river and managed to unite the local Slavic tribes and ancient Thracian people into a common state.Medieval Bulgaria was one of most powerful states in Europe. In fact in the 8th sentury there were only 3 important states in Europe:the Frankish empire,the Byzantine empire and the Bulgarian khanate. Bulgaria is the only contry in Europe which hasn't changed its name for almost 20 centuries. |

Hungary is one of the oldest country dating back to 896. First king (St. Stephen) crowned in 1000. |
|
|
our history teacher told us the oldest contry in the world is iran. |
|

well as far as i can see your all wrong Denmark is the oldest nation in the world the danish flag dates back to around 1219 a.d. and the first british king was in fact a dane not to mention that the reason they call it normandy is because of the viking occupation there normandy means northmen scotland france england ireland and many more countries where occupiede by the danes of course back then Denmark was a big nation consisting of sweden and norway and a big part of germany and poland there have even been found evidence that the vikings where the first to set foot in northamerica but if you talk in terms of country wise and not nations greece and egypt are perhaps some of the oldest |

|
& the winner is: San Marino is the oldest country in the world (301 AD) followed by France (486 AD) with Denmark (950 AD) coming in 3rd... |

both Scotland and Wales have been fully invaded by England since the Norman conquest of England |
|
jj |
Both Scotland and Wales are older than England though....... |
|
|
i belive that the worlds oldest country is ENGLAND beacuse we have a lot of history and many many countries have originated from ENGLAND and have stolen our city names e.g America with NEW york, NEW hampshier and lots more with a lot more countries |
|
|
If you're talking in terms on not being invaded or occupied England (1066 AD) and Thailand have to be some of the oldest. India was a British colony so that doesn't count. Most parts of France have being owned by England/Spain/Austria at some point as well as being occupied in two world wars. Denamsrk was also occupied in WWII |
|
|
i think aryan is wrong it was invaded many times |
|
|
Looks like a crack head wrote this list. From what I learned, INDIA is the oldest. Ramayan was dated back to pre historic man. |
