The point I was making was that the age of Hungary is based on the year it was founded and NOT the year of independence, but the reverse is applied to Sweden.
You are aware that Attila the Hun was a Hun and not a Hungarian/Magyar?
Why would the Hungarians try to claim to be older than the Germans?
Since Sweden, Norway and Denmark was in a union, I believe it does count as civil war. In the same way the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and RÃkÃczi's War of Independence was a civil war in the union of Austria and Hungary.
The information I have based my arguments on is available to anyone able to read articles on Wikipedia, thereby no higher degree of education is required.
Who are "you guys"? I have never claimed to belong any group.

I you ask swedes which year the country was founded, they will not answer 1523. They will answer that it was founded sometime during the Viking Age. Furthermore Gustav Vasa is not considered the first king of Sweden. His rule is considered a continuation. Also using the word "conquered" is not totally correct as Sweden was still ruled as a separate entity within the Union, similar to Austria-Hungary.

PRC should be given 1949 or 1950 when China's territories were split into PRC and ROC (and some given to the Soviet Union). ROC should be given 1912 (the establishment of the republic) or the year currently given to PRC (ROC currently does not have any year given to it).
