How old does a country have to be?

Question

I know that political wise, North and South America are considered young continents, but how old does the country and/or continent have to be in terms of politics: getting their independence and setting up their own government to be considered old?

Answer 1

It is a relative thing, if nothing changes for the next few centuries then those countries will still be considered young, on the other hand if some of the older countries are wiped out/replaced or new countries start to appear, then those countries will be considered older

Answer 2

Old enough where their system of doing things is copied over a hundred times in other new countries.

Answer 4
