> It's a guess, but I think the whole living-together-on-an-island can explain a lot. Hmm, it might. It definitely seems like a pretty compelling argument to me at least. And I definitely agree, compliance is in the blood, culture, and history of the British. At the same time I can think of some more noncomplaint island peoples. I was in Iceland two weeks ago and that comes to mind: they seemed roughly on par with the Dutch. I think living on an island is probably one important ingredient in British compliance. At the same time I think there are a lot of different ways to end up with a compliant population, for example the Southern US seems to be more compliant than the North.
