The United Stated of America holds claim to the oldest current
national government in the world..
Actually, the oldest government is the government of San Marino,
a European microstate within Italy. The San Marino Constitution was
adopted in 1600, about 180 years prior to the United States' formal
creation of its current government in 1789.
Sorry but from 1923 to 1943, San Marino was under the rule of
the Sammarinese Fascist Party. That constitutes a break in the
Government and means the San Marino is not the oldest government in
the world.
Even if they went back to the same type and form of government
with the exact same constitution it is still 3 separate
governments.
The Isle of Man's Tynwald Government has been running since
1417. By far the longest running government in the world, a fact
recognised by the guiness book of records.
