I don't know enough about lithuan here but for the British they are a former great power that once controlled nearly 25% of the world's population
Britain also unlike America is a small island for the United States they've got plenty of room to grow and also
Have a much larger urban population which means that people's can commute from the urban communities into the cities
Having a white house with a picket fence with lots of space is great for starting a family and for building a home
The UK doesn't have that so their is an acceptance that the best days are behind us
