Yeah, a quick look says it finally was on it's own in 1903, so that's pretty young. I was gonna say some European countries might be younger, but then I thought many of them were probably countries before they were annexed into the old USSR or Yugoslavia.

Interesting that Panama never had control or ownership of the canal territiories until 1999.
