The time between when what became the USA had a monarch and now is shorter than the time between when Rome was a Kingdom and the end of the Republic.

There is nothing all that exceptional about the fact that the US has gone a bit under 250 years without either a monarch or dictator.

It's not unique, but I'm not sure it's not exceptional.
