The UK's numerous quirks - monarchy, heavy centralisation, lingering aristocracy, piles of arcane traditions, lack of a constitution, formed of four nations, HoL, CofE - seems to rule out the UK for the most part. The US is a "planned" country, while the UK is more of a pile of reforms bundled on top of some anachronisms.

I would argue Brazil is a reasonable enough comparison. I'm sure you can stretch analogies for every country in the world if it pleased you so
