5. What other country has a titular head that's been there for 60 years

And is still popular with the majority of the citizenship?
Mubarak - they're pissed he didn't get the death penalty.
I'm dual citizenship UK and US. I lived half my life in the UK then moved to the US. Having lived through eight presidential elections, and seen the increasingly nasty campaigns, the election frauds and the complete polarisation of the country, I finally gave up and moved back to the UK. I've come to appreciate a system where half the population doesn't automatically hate the Head of State because they voted for the other guy. The Queen has no power other than advisory to the actual guy in charge, the Prime Minister.
