"Modern incantation"... besides, if you review the entire history of the Althing, then the longest the Althing served as a functioning form of government was 332 years. However, since that was almost 800 years ago I reckon its safe to ignore it. The Pope, the Roman Emperors, the Russian Tsars all lasted longer than that, in fact the English monarchy is still on the throne 1200 years later! But again, its not in reference to a modern country, so again we can again ignore that as examples too.
LOL. Why do you want to argue with me?
Balstrome specifically said "in recorded history". As I said, I'm sure there're plenty of other govts that have lasted significantly longer than the US's.
