Israel was founded in 1948. The Kingdom of Israel dates to 1050 BCE but that has little to do with the state of Israel. Of course, the same could be said for almost all of these countries. The modern day nation-state of Greece has nothing to do with whatever political entity you are dating to 3200 BC. The modern day nation-state of Egypt bears no resemblance at all to whatever you are dating there to the same year. San Marino might be the only exception on this entire quiz, though it gained independence in 301 AD, not BC.

It was under Ottoman rule for decades, hence its exclusion from this list.
