Italy was unified back in the 1800s, so this is stretching the truth a little. It existed as a kingdom well before becoming a republic.

It also has a surprisingly long list of separatist movements[0], which it has has thus far refrained from bombing with US-funded F16s.

True, the disparate Italian states were unified into the Kingdom of Italy in the 1860s, so it's older than Israel but younger than the US.
