How does China not qualify? Confused by the (lack of) definitions here.

For a long time, China was not a "country" but more of a "group of territories" with multiple rulers and multiple republics leading it. China didn't become one unified country until 1949, when the Communist leader Mao Zedong created the "People's Republic of China" which was a unification of the many different republics and states/territories. I guess I meant to say that the oldest countries and kingdoms are the oldest ones to have a central ruler/general unification.

By this logic Israel doesn't make any sense they didn't have a central ruler or general unification for thousands of years lmao

So does this ask for modern countries? Because Kingdom of Israel does not exist anymore, and I would assume it is kinda hard to have a continuity from Kingdom of Israel to modern Israel.

Also what about Afghanistan 678 BC? Median Empire?

The continuity is somewhat lacking at some points.

I understand that there are a multitude of issues with this quiz. This was one of the first quizzes I made here on JetPunk, and I obviously was lacking in many categories. Soon, I'm going to be taking down this quiz for updates. In the meantime, however, I have a lot of newer, better quizzes on my profile that hopefully don't have as many issues as this one
