Despite a recent sharp turn to the political left after allowing women to vote, the Swiss Canton Confederation has been ideal, much of that coming, of course, from geographical isolation, even with 3 official national languages...

But the outright winner in stability, longevity, and relatively minor corruption, is a Monarchy.

It takes a lifetime of training to be a Monarch.
