    Perhaps a bit nitpicky, but the country with the oldest history is China. Let me first acknowledge that I assume that by "country", the question refers to a single, cohesive political and cultural entity. Although Iraq, i.e. Sumer does antedate Chinese history, Sumer as a country has not existed for more than a millenia, and Iraq has only existed since the British colonial days in the 1920s. China was first formed as a country in 221 B.C.E. making it the oldest existing country on the planet.
