Because you literally just described America.

Given what you know about our species and nature in general, what country in the world do you think doesn't fit this description?

Countries still standing, flying (mostly) their original flag, with a significant chunk of peak territory remaining?

Yeah, America isn’t unique. Lots throughout history. I guess you could say most of the new world, but certainly one of the largest…with Russia, China, Canada, and maybe Australia if you stretch the definition enough (and I’m not trying to ignore or dismiss their treatment of the aboriginals in saying that).
