UKpol, the monarchy, take I've been banging on about for years
Monarchists are always banging on about how the royals bring tourism but the stuff the folks really get enthused about is just the pomp and ceremony of the whole thing, not the weird humans behind it all.
If we replace humans with corgis we can actually INCREASE the tourism; corgis live for 12-15 years, which means a fresh coronation every decade or so. Also we'd get the same iconography, but massively lessen the running costs.

my mother: some mushrooms, they make your mouth go all tingly and pins and needles-y and really uncomfortable don't they? not all of them, just some of them
me: ...okay, so today we learned you're allergic to some mushrooms
