Is there a nation on Earth not ruled by conquerors?

Reading a lot of political correct nonsense about imperialism and indigenous peoples.
So, which country on Earth came to power without conquering another nation/government or indigenous people?
I can't think of any. Makes that whole Native American guilt issue seem silly.

Israel maybe? Wasn't their land acquired through negotiation?

Exactly. They didn't conquer anyone for it.

Iceland is a good answer. A quick look appears to show no indigenous people or conquerors.

And I still got downvoted.

Probably as close as you're gonna get.
Only because there was nobody there for the Vikings to conquer.

There wasn't.
Geneticists have a special place in their hearts for Iceland, because there has been virtually zero mixing of DNA since it was settled 1100 years ago.

East Europeans and East Asians are indigenous to their lands, and they never exterminated other people on other continents.
Besides, the casino business that was kick started by the oil and natural gas companies (mineral rights) will enable the Natives of the US to retake the lands that Andrew Jackson kicked them out of. They will gain political power via lobbying power and create voting blocs with the non-white majority to create preferences in hiring and governing. Moreover, Texas oil interests helped LBJ pass the Civil Rights Act in 1964, which in turn enabled Texas moderates to control the Gulf oil revenue and empower oppressed black communities in the Gulf South.
Also, TX and FL will pinch out the southern states in between, and it won't matter how the south votes anymore since the Great Lakes flipped Republican along with many interior western states. If TX and FL decide they have too many immigrants from Mexico and the Caribbean, then they can encourage them to go to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama and look out for minority interests with the other minority groups. This will empower the Natives that were forced out of the region by Andrew Jackson like never before, since they will become a small power elite minority like the Jews. You can already see the results of this in places like Tunica and Biloxi with the casino wealth that the oil and natural gas companies helped to start in Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas.
LBJ and Robert S. Kerr were the favorite politicians of the Natives in Oklahoma at that time. Karma is really catching up to the southern white population, but you reap what you sow.
Enjoy irrelevancy in US politics, and good luck finding employment once you are purged from the southeast, since most people from other regions of the country have had nothing but bad experiences while in the deep south.

Ehhhhh...you're getting into dangerous territory and essentially going back to hunter-gatherer days when humans first started migrating around the earth, and there were no other humans to conquer as they did so.
Check out how the Chinese of the Kuomintang treated the native Taiwanese after they fled mainland China.

Oh I know what they're doing in that regard but they didn't conquer anyone for the land that they started out with as a nation.

No problem as long as you need gas to drive a car or industry can build and operate at lower tax rates and less union interference. Not to mention, we'll be okay as long as you need to wipe your arse after you shite.

I can start naming one immigrant after another that have experienced great success in the deep south. Know them personally, hell my Doctor is one of them. LOVES it here.

Yeah, because the Japanese didn't rape and murder their way across the Asian continent or anything.
Or the Mongols
Or the Soviets.
Are you ignorant or just stupid?

Red Rifle's post might be the dumbest of the year so far. There are so many Asian and Eastern Europe civilizations that have gone out and conquered other groups. Pretty much all of Western China is composed of conquered people who have nothing really in common with the Han population.
What about the Huns? The Turks? The Persians? The Babylonians? Assyrians? The Caliphate? Do you think Russia and China got all that land because they actually have things in common from people who live 3000 miles away?
