    Every dominant culture eventually collapses unless it is conquered first. The USA has been showing symptoms of the collapse process since about WW2: increasing welfare rolls, decreasing quality of arts and entertainment, closing the borders, tax rate over 12%, and other signs.

    Only 21 countries have governments older than a century. Twelve of them are in South America or around the Gulf of Mexico. Libya had a king for 2800 years, but switched to a president in 1975.

    They count England as a single government from Monarchy - to Cromwell's Parliamentary Republic - back to a Monarchy.
