  1. The Spanish kingdom of León gained the border of Portugal and granted independence to the Kingdom of Portugal. They would later lose it. Spain is, without counting the city-state of San Marino, the oldest country in Europe. And the Suevi Kindom of Galicia the first feudal Kindom, and The Courts of Leon, the first Parlament of the World.

  2. ​ @jiminverness  By country, as a vulgar term, I am referring to a State entity, formerly the Kingdom. All of them after the Roman Empire (this is the old or classic world right?) All you have comment is false in strict terms. Suevi Kindom (with the agreement with Honorio Emperor from 411-585, they even had its own coins, then conquered by the also Spanish Visigotic Kindom, formerly the Spanish Kindom, so many time before the frankish Kindom I'm afraid. You will not try to compare a meeting of colleagues in a forest like the Icelandic "parliament" that all we know as annecdotic between barbarians with a feudal parliament, with lords with functions and knowledge, who represented regions and citizens, written rules, written laws, etc. like any current parliament, 1188. Denmark was not a continued State, they belonged to Sweden. Even Norway was a kindom before. All the actual kings of Europe are descendantas of the Spanish Catholic Kings. Charles III too. Spain is a political, historic and cultural entity from the Visigotic Kindom to now. Also it was also by far the largest, longest and most influential civilizing empire in the world.
