Nation-building is a long evolutionary process. It is therefore practically impossible to come up with a single date for a nation's "birth". However, most nations have accepted some dates in their respective histories as their symbolic starting points. This is usually done more for nationalistic propaganda than for scientific reasons. For many ancient and medieval nations these starting points are usually the dates when a nation was mentioned in a written document for the first time or simply a date from their national mythology. In Europe this often coincides with the ruler's conversion to Christianity. For post-colonial nations, starting with the United States, the beginning of nationhood is usually considered to be the date when independence was declared, granted or recognised.

The following list is mainly based on data published by the CIA, and is therefore largely (but not completely) restricted to nations whose independence is recognised by the USA.

3000 BC India first state founded by the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which was likely an early kingdom or republic of some sort "The regular planning of the streets, the layout of cities and the common weights and measures suggest a single state covering the entire area." (The Wonder that was India, By A.L. Bhasham). The first unified state incorporating the majority of modern India, was founded under the Maurya dynasty by Emperor Chandragupta Maurya in 322 BC. Re-unification occurred in 1600 under the Turco-Persian Mughal dynasty by Akbar the Great. Became part of the British Empire in 1757. Independence declared in 1947 and the modern Republic of India was established on 26 January 1950
2700 BC Iran (Persia) first state which consisted all of western Iran was founded by non-Semitic Elamite Kingdom which lasted from around 2700 BC to 539 BC and had a significant influence on later Iranian dynasties. The Indo-European Medians created the first Iranian state which encompassed all of Iran and lasted from 728 to 550 BC, Cyrus I, founded the first Persian Empire, the Achaemenid Empire in 550 BC (the Achaemenids had ruled Anshan for about a century before that). The Achaemenids conquered the neighbouring Mesopotamian Civilization, and was the world's first superstate, stretching from Greece to India. Persia was conquered by the Macedonians under Alexander the Great, Arab Islamic Caliphate and the Mongol Empire. Modern Iran was unified in 1501 by the Safavid dynasty.

The modern Islamic Republic of Iran was established on February 11, 1979 after revolution against the Pahlavi dynasty
2334 BC Iraq unification occurred under the Akkadian dynasty by King Sargon of Akkad in 2334 BC. Various civilizations such as the Babylonians ruled the area afterward. Ancient contact between Sumeria and the two other cradles of civilization, India and Egypt occurred. The area was subsequently conquered by various civilizations, including the neighbouring Persians, and the Arabs, and remained un-unified. The Ottoman Turks controlled the area, along with much of the middle east, until World War 1, when the British Empire gained administration. The modern Republic of Iraq was established on October 3, 1932 from League of Nations mandate under British administration

Under Gruffudd ap Llywelyn who even seized territories to the east of Offa's Dyke, even the English acknowledged the Welsh state. Subsequently Wales was conquered by England and is now a prinicpality within the UK, although it remains a nation (Cymru in Welsh) with its own widely-spoken language.
