Which is the oldest country in the world?

Answer 1

San Marino is proclaimed to be the oldest country in the world. San Marino is the oldest country in Europe, becoming independent from the Roman Empire in September 3, 301 AD and has the world’s oldest constitution having been written in 1600. However, it was not recognized as an independent country until 1631, and it is true that other countries have traced back to earlier years. The real answer to this question is still very difficult for sure.

Answer 2

The question is ambiguous; oldest in what context. One could interpret 'oldest country' by oldest establishment of a country currently existing today; oldest place recorded to have been a country; place of oldest remains of a civilization; place of oldest remains of human habitation. Without establishing the context of the question, the answer can only be based on individual interpretation of the question. Therefore, most of the answers submitted and deleted could apply.

bridge currently named as Ram Setu (Adam's Bridge) is made of chain
of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long. The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is
man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the
first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive
age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost
equivalent. This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the ancient epic
