Which nations existed 1000 years ago that exist today?

The academic answer ranges from very few to none at all depending on how you define nation and/or interpret history.

1000 years ago all that existed was the continued rise and fall of various kingdoms and empires over each other.

In fact the nation is a relatively modern concept which arose in about the 15th century.
