Mondjuk kicsit fura hogy 1956-ot írnak nálunk, mintha nem lett volna rendszerváltás, bár technikailag igazuk is van mert ugyanazok a komcsik ülnek a fideszben akik Kádár alatt is igazgatták az országot
Az olaszok tuti nem 1821-ben buktatták meg az utolsó kormányukat
De még a politikai rendszert sem
Ennek a térképnek semmi értelme, keveri a kormánybuktatást a rendszerváltással meg ország függetlenedéssel, semmiben sem konzisztens
**Methodology** – Because not all times when a government overthrow are the same, there’s not an easy criteria to sort. I at first tried to count violent transitions of power, but this left out peaceful overthrows of government and many governments have never had a violent transition of power. So I decided on a looser definition. There’s some manner of personal bias when it comes to which events “count” towards the definition of an overthrown government. I’ve tried to loosely define it thusly although it’s debatable sometimes especially when it comes to revolutions. If you would like I will explain why each year is selected for each country, some were easy, some where quite difficult and had competing dates:
· An autocoup (where the executive usurps power from the legislature through force) also counts despite the executive staying in place
· The executive dissolving the legislature doesn’t count if there is a constitutional mechanism for doing so
· A coup always counts if it succeeds
· Impeachment of the executive doesn’t count as long as it was legally done
· A violent revolution where the government is thrown out counts
· A violent or non-violent revolution where the government resigns counts
· A non-violent revolution where the government holds elections and is defeated doesn’t count
· An autocratic government that reforms into a democracy doesn’t count
· A government that adopts a new constitution doesn’t count
· Assassinations of presidents don’t count in democracies but do count in autocracies
· A government that is deposed by a foreign invasion counts
· A government-in-exile that is restored upon the conclusion of a war does not count
· A nation is counted as having its government formed upon its de jure independence if its government is contiguous since its founding, if no de jure independence has been established, a de facto declaration is used
**Interesting facts:**
There are only 24 governments older than 1 century. Of them only 1 is currently an Autocracy. 5 are microstates.
The Republic of San Marino is the oldest government on Earth.
Denmark is the oldest non-micro government.
The most recently installed government on Earth is Burkina Faso, which has had *two* coups this year.
38 governments are not older than this century.
Roughly 2/5ths of all governments on Earth are more recent than the Soviet Union (the early 90s saw a large number of new governments).
62 governments have peacefully achieved independence and never had their government overthrown.
Japan is the only nation with a ruler that has an Imperial title. The dynasty of Yamato is also the oldest unbroken line in the world, more than a millennia old and likely more than two.
Some nations have a government older than the founding of their nation (by virtue of having a continuous line of government to its predecessor). Such nations include Italy and Saudi Arabia.
**Some general observations:**
The most stable region in the world are the North Sea states.
The least stable region in the world is the African Sahel/Sahara region.
On average, democracies are much more stable than autocracies, especially the more democratic it is.
Parliamentary monarchies have a historical track record as being more stable than republican democracies.
Republics are more stable than Absolute monarchies.
Absolute monarchies are more stable than dictatorships.

Dél-Koreában 1987-ben volt rendszerváltás.
