I mean, what were the middle parts of Italy and Germany before? Wouldn’t those technically be countries that don’t exist anymore as well?

What about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ?

Or the multiple Kingdoms which existed on both islands 1,000 + years ago ?

Historically just about the oldest recognisable country in Europe is France and even it's borders have shifted on multiple occasions.
