Yes, I forgot the Zarist Russia, the Medieval Spain and the Arab Khaliphate, and the Ottoman Empire. Amazing, ain't it?

You pick out Spain out of the entire context. OK, stay unamazed. I am.

England is still around, so is France, and so are Japan and China.
Its difficult to maintain independence for over 500 years but it is possible.
