San Marino had a constitution in 1600, was a republic a lot longer than that, and it's still an independent republic. So it's very arguable
TIL that is even a country
Your American education is showing.
A while ago I mentioned to a German friend that I was visiting Andorra and he asked me where that was. I bet there are plenty of Europeans who don't know where San Marino is either.
It's a small one, but if you're ever in Italy, it might warrant a visit (depending on time and route). The medieval old town built on top of mount Titan is really beautiful and the view from the walls is breathtaking.
