They are the only modern day country which can trace their history back to the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. Yes, I’m counting the Vatican 🇻🇦 as part of Italy 🇮🇹. Lick my taint.

France.
Celtic or Gallic: The ancient and medieval populations of Gauls and Celts from the Atlantic to the Rhone Alps
Germanic: The Franks, Burgundians, Allemanni, Visigoths, and Suebi settled in France after the fall of the Roman Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_France#Ethnic_groups
The modern ethnic French are the descendants of Celts, Iberians, Ligurians, Italic peoples (including Romans), and Greeks in southern France, later mixed with large groups of Germanic peoples arriving at the end of the Roman Empire such as the Franks, Burgundians, Alamanni, and Goths, Moors and Saracens in the south, and Scandinavians, Vikings, who became, by mixing with the local population, the Normans and settled mostly in Normandy in the 9th century.

Not related to the 14,000 year civilization thing (no civilization is that old), but this is a pretty funny interaction between Xi and Trump on the age of China.
