Reading about Iraq, I find out Iraq only became a country in 1920. Canada became a country in 1867, therefore Canada has been a country longer than Iraq. Doing the dance of joy.

[Of course, Iraq is home to Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization where Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer once stood.]

Then again, Iraq only has 19 miles of coastline, we have more than 36,350 miles. Neener, neener.
