Reply to comment by that_yeg_guy in TIL Korea has soy sauce older than USA by SmashScrapeFlip

It’s actually the one of if not the oldest country with the same form of government today as it had for the past ~250 years. “South Korea” wasn’t really a country back then. The UK was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (now it’s Northern Ireland). France was still a monarchy or else was on its 1st republic (now it’s on its 5th republic I think).

Same sort of government or same label for the type of government?

Well, we were a republic, but I dunno what the hell we are now.
