OK, I just had to jump on the opportunity to show Terry wrong    :)

It hasn't been in power for 225 years.  212, from memory, as the
Constitution was ratified in 1789.  For the 13 previous years, it was a
loose and unstructured union of autonomous states, and before 1776 it was
still legally a British colony.
