Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved by Senegal, 1989-09-30. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was intended to promote cooperation between the two countries, but was dissolved by Senegal on 30 September 1989 after The Gambia refused to move closer toward union.

| Abdou Diouf | 1982 – 1989 | 7 years | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1982 – 1989. Only 7 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
