[@DepressedSoviet] good points! Ww1 is my favorite as well but my vote doesn't count.

You also raise a good point on who is personified, should a country's age be based on the advent of its current form or on its formation as a sovereign state? Should organizations such as the league of nations be personified? Should unions like austria-hungary be one person or two? I'd like to hear your opinions before i make a choice.
