@MIWOOL No it's not very natural to say it this way. "Oldest country" sounds like the country was created many years before other countries. "England is an older country than America" is proper, but when you're talking about population it'd be said differently. "Japan has the oldest population, compared to other countries like America." would be correct.
And I'm sad about suicide. Is it work stress? Japanese people work very hard.

This is really hard to say. Japan isn't the oldest country based on anything, is it?

@MIWOOL "Japan has the greatest percentage of old people!" maybe lol. I guess not eating like Americans is very healthy.

@EarleyGrave I agree with you. The oldest gererally means the history of the county. But the article I was reading was about social walfare so that's probably why.
About suicide, yes work stress and also peer pressure, I think. Japan is an island and has more closed society.
Thanks for your help!

@MIWOOL This makes me very sad. I empathize with Japanese people. I'm glad to help, though.
