They are a kind of apex paradox; they still organize their government like some ancient rain forest tribe that has the royal family sitting safely on a decorated tree platform all day while they toil and labor down below... and yet... they led the Industrial Revolution. Now you'd think a people that did this would be the first to get past these ancient modes of government. But not the British. In Thailand, it's acceptable. They still shoot monkeys with poison darts over there. But we've got British nuclear scientists and mathematicians. It just doesn't make any sense.

I like people who define other people by geographical location, makes finding anyone with a compass so much easier.

Now here is a fine example of a bonus free, idiot.
Witches were persecuted for what they did not do.

How does that relate to a person being disciplined for what he did do?

Shit for brains. By your definition, you must be a pure blueblood.
