who is the most old land or country in the world?

Answer 1

Your question needs a little explanation. Do you mean the oldest populated country as in populated the longest? Do you mean the oldest actual land, as in the earth itself?

Jericho (Ariha in Arabic) is the oldest inhabited town in the world, dating back more than 10,000 years, but there is also a city in Turkey that claims that honor.

Here are a few links that provide food for thought.

Answer 2

The world's oldest countries based on a continous form of government, i.e. a national constitution.

A country is defined by its government, not its borders.

The term "oldest countries" is sometimes used to refer to countries with the oldest populations, which is unrelated - see Demography.

Years given are when each country's current constitution took effect, unless otherwise noted.

Notes
^ The United Kingdom has no codified constitution, but instead relies on traditional customs and separate pieces of constitutional law. The Act of Union 1800 was enacted in 1801 and created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. However, the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 was a major governmental change that created the current official country name, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, after the emergence of the Irish Free State (Ireland). Other significant governmental revisions include the Balfour Declaration of 1926, and the Statute of Westminster 1931.
