Lol. I think you should give US more time to fail? (I guess). It's only 260 so years. That's too short if you place it into human history.

It’s actually one of the oldest continuing governments :)

Current China is only ~70 years old for example. They have gone to great extents to erase their history, so they know they are young :)

Roman empire failed after 1500 years.

Portuguese Empire failed after 584 years.

Khmer empire failed 630 years.

Kush Empire failed after 1420 years.

Silla Empire failed after 980 years

Holy Roman empire failed after 838 years

Kanem Empire failed after 676 years.

Chinese empire failed after 2000 years.

I asked my friend what's the connection between all these Civilizations? He told me "Empire."

What a stupid answer.

The connection is "failure." You know what hasn't failed! The United States of America that's what!

None of them had the internet to keep them together.

I’m sure ycombinator will help the united states never fail.

Kind this if you don't count the civil war as a reset point, one might as well not count civil wars/dynastic changes in ancient civilizations.
