This is tooooootally wrong. Greece is the founder of democracy and democracy is a Greek word.
If you know how to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy
QUOTE(laminaatplaat @ Jan 2 2009, 01:01 PM) Iceland has been a democracy since the year 930 (longest democracy) and look what happens now; one credit crush and the WHOLE country goes bankrupt
And as most of the people here, I'll go with my country, and Cyprus (Which I have to visit sometime soon) for obvious reasons.

It is a fact that democracy was 'founded' in ancient Greece but not that it is the longest lasting democracy in the world in one country..

Greece was the first democratic nation, but Greece didnt exist as a country for almost 400 years due to the invasion by the Ottoman empire. Which basically broke the country up, enslaved the population and tried to destroy its culture and religion. The Greeks declared independence in 1821, and although massively outnumbered and with hardly any traditional military infrastructure fought and repelled the Ottoman's from 2/3 of what was originally Greece and re-established the nation. Western Turkey is Greece, what was originally Greece anyway, they never managed to get that 1/3 of the country back! If it wasnt for the Ottoman's Greece would definitely be the oldest democracy, by a massive margin of time.
Greece and Cyprus p0wn hard!

Well, Tropicana, I said it's real this time right? Well, see ya everyone, I had fun in GBATemp, I have no idea when I'll be back, bye bye!
lol. You actually did it huh? Meh. Even if I leave, no one will really care, since I haven't really posted anything good around the forums. My farewell will not be missed.
Also, before I go, there's just one thing I want to say. Japan is overrated. It was fun while it lasted GBAtemp!
