The Brits have been around forever, but they've changed governments so many times that they're really not much older than we are, if at all.

In fact, no European government or way of life is really all that old. In fact, my ancestors are mostly English, with some German thrown in, and we can trace the family name back to the 400s. How do I compare in all this?

I guess you're just as susceptible to 'two-bit dictators' and 'tyrants' as well then, if you're of European descent.
