You could have just listed the age of our nation. That would have been a better illustration.

Yeah I think about this a lot. The civil war was basically just 2 people ago.

I know the age thing is based on the history of the territory of a country, but over the years, I have been surprised at the newness of countries in general. Sure, the area of Germany has history that goes back thousands of years, but the country of Germany started in 1871. Italy became a unified country in 1861. I just found it interesting that the US was a unified country before some ancient "countries".

There’s a saying: In America, 100 years is a long time. In Europe, 100 miles is a long drive.

Santa Fe is capital of NM.

You’ve left out capital of Wyoming, Cheyenne.
