The United States of America. And It didnt fail.

For 235 straight years with the same form of government, same name, and same constitution.

Can you believe it?

Strange but true.

Most people will tell you that it is San Marino --- San Marino is the oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic in the world.

From 1923 to 1943, San Marino was under the rule of the Sammarinese Fascist Party.

It fell again on 1 April 1944.

In September 1944, it was occupied by German forces.

Then it changed to a communist government, which held office between 1945 and 1957 and again between 2006 and 2008.

So ---- they lost the title!

**EDIT***

This question has been argued on this forum 100 times, and in all of the history sites and blogs, etc.

It depends on how you word the question.

It FINALLY broke down that the oldest CONTINUOUS SINGLE COUNTRY, not empire, with the SAME NAME, no changes whatsoever, with the SAME GOVERNMENT, run by the SAME CONTINUOUS CONSTITUTION .....was in fact the US.

I did NOT come up with this one by myself, I assure you.

My first thought when I read the conclusion was "How the hell did that happen?"
