Look around and find another country that's younger. Germany is the only one and they've been neighbors who take each other's side in fights for a few hundred before then so it's basically a united front.

What? There are dozens and dozens of younger countries. Or do you think they don't count because brown people live there?

South Sudan, for instance, is barely a decade and a half old.

Go find me countries that are older

America has been operating under the same constitution for 250 years

Egypt has been around for thousands of years but its current government is not continuous with the pharaohs

Maybe a constitution refresh every few centuries is what's needed
