Japan. The imperial line of succession from the current Japanese emperor goes all the way back to Emperor,Jimmu,circa 660BC. That’s almost 2700 years under the same royal family.
The imperial dynasty’s power waxed and waned during that period, actual governing clans came and went. But it was nonetheless the same priest-king dynasty laying claim over roughly the same lands - mostly the main island of Honshu, with the other home islands added and subtracted with the varying fortunes of the Japanese government.
Being an island nation, relatively farther away from the continental mainland than England, made invasion more difficult and easier for the Japanese to maintain their independence and identity as the same island nation and people for millennia.
