Just think if your ancestors hadn't of carried on with all that revolution malarkey then perhaps you too could have had a wonderful Queen such as our own here in the the UK and her other dominions now too - lucky us eh.....I GUESS you could always look at restoring the monarchy there and hoping you could perhaps make up for lost time maybe ? :-) :-)
