jealous that the first "democracy" is san marino?

I'm sure Ethiopia, China and Iran must count somehow.

>>73669298
It's continual, not conquered any. Each end of a dynasty in China is considered a conquered country.

Assuming ethiopia, and Iran are same way. If not then Mali should be there too

>>73667721
actually we are the first real democracy

>>73669676
Japan has been ruled by the same dynasty for millenia, unless the Kamakura, Ashikaga and Tokugawa shogunates are considered different countries, Japan is also older than SM.

>>73669740
Not by a long shot. All Americans weren't allowed to vote until the 1960s. Even Lebanon is an older full democracy than the USA.

France, Greece, Switzerland etc. granted suffrage to all men way before the US did.

>>73669749
yeah, but we forced them into a new constitution as well as occupied them. the list is also time spent not being occupied,

>men
>conveniently didn't mention women

You aren't a real democracy even today

>>73669740
HAHAHAHA

how come? we have no corruption

>>73667680
San Marino is basically like that little brother who everyone likes, so he doesn't get beat up

Maybe it doesn't count because the government was never legitimized by an outside source?

>>73670544
San Marinoans are the most powerful race on earth

>>73670149
>>73667680
Even Napoleon looked at it and said basically "tiny old Republic, so kawai~" and suggested to annex a small coastal line to it
San Marino refused

Reminder that even young people from San Marino living in Italy will still say something like "I'm returning to the Republic" to say they're going back home despite Italy having been a Republic for 70 years

Isn't San Marino the first country to democratically elect a Communist Party to power?

>>73669749
But Japan shared many cultures across the island

>>73667680
What about China?

It has changed government and dynasties a lot of times, but it has been largely unconquered and has maintained some kind of united a culture and ethnicity continuously for millennia, even before the notions of nation states even existed.

I'm half Italian half san marinense.

>>73673234
What do Italians and San Marinese think of each other?

>>73667680
Britain???????

>>73672984
>but it has been largely unconquered
Explain the Qing.
>united a culture and ethnicity continuously for millennia
More like it absorbed and assimilated surrounding peoples, during the times ti wasn't fragmented into many states.

>>73673420
nothing really

>>73671298
I live close enough to San Marino to have visited there several times because of their lower taxes on many goods

>>73674029
Is there a class difference between Italians and San Marinese? I hear it was technically considered a developing country until 2012.

>>73674164

>>73669886
>allowed to vote until the 1960s
Women's suffrage was well before 1960 so what are you talking about?

The point of the electoral college is to ensure large population centers don't continually hijack the goverent and more rural areas are terminally ignored. It also has the added benefit of candidates not having to visit everywhere and adds some strategy to the election.

>>73674397
Why are you defending such a broken system?
It's not a democracy.

>>73670669
I'm not the troll but it's pretty amusing. Anything related to the U.S. can be made into easy bait that works.

>>73673234
How cultural different are the two countries?

>>73674335
They could vote it's just in the South the whites tried to make sure they didn't. That's not a reflection of the federal government though.

Can't make this shit up

>>73674525
Because it has a purpose if I pointed out. The greater NYC, LA, San Francisco, etc. Areas would continually control the executive branch. Direct democracy is risky because of the fact that your average citizen is a fucking moron regardless if education. I'm glad their impact is minimized.

>>73674765
Doesn't your government have a system where the party with the most votes can still get fucked because no one would create a coalition government with them and it's almost impossible for the entire nation to have voted for the controlling government?

>>73674990
A party can only rule alone when the majority of the people elect them, if this doesn't happen a coalition from two or more parties is formed to present the interest of similar voter groups to make politics in the interest of the majority of the people.

>>73674990
How is that an issue? At that point majority of people didn't vote for that partyand if it doesn't want to seek consensus with other parties, it may be justly let in opposition. Usually other parties don't want that, though, because in the next election it mught get even mire votes.

>>73669886
Fag. Greek democracy didn't let women or slaves vote, and for good raisin

I thought this thread was supposed to be about San Marino, not gerrymandering
