Eccentric and Lovable Historian of Politics and Ideas
The really interesting example of a country that has avoided revolutions in the modern period is England. If I had been living in 1788 and was asked whether I thought England or France would chop their king's head off in the near future, I would have said England. Keep in mind that the English had already done precisely that in 1649. Futhermore, it is not as if George III was a particularly beloved, competant, and sane monarch.
