Best Answer

I have read many books about oldest nations and countries.

I can strongly state my option and I think that the oldest nationS according to "first map in the world" made in Babylon (just Google Babylon map if you don't belive) suggest that following countries are one of the first in Mesopotamia.

1. BABYLON (as a country)

2. ASSYRIA (now Iran)

3.HABBAN (now Yemen)

4.ARMENIA (now Armenia)

5.Dery (no one knows what is this)

6.BIT JAKINU (no any idea)

and there are 7 islands in map.

This tells just Mesopotamia's countries - not in the world.

It is impossible to compare this list above with China , India or Egypt ad there are no any evidence that these countries are first , because the people who made that map had no idea about rest of the world so maybe they missed out other countries. HOWEVER this map is recognised as first known map ever made.

Hope this helps

What percentage of the world's population makes more than 50 thousand dollars per year?

Some 5 %. But keep in mind that the equivalent of $ 50,000 would make you a middle-income earner in only the wealthiest Western countries such as the USA, but a top-income earner in all Third World countries. And even in many Western countries the average income is well below $ 50,000. It also has everything to do with a country's standards and cost of living. In many countries - certainly in the Third World - you can get by very nicely, with servants and all, on $ 20,000 a year or even less.
