England was politically stable throughout most of Shakespeare's life. Queen Elizabeth was blessed not only with a sharp mind and strong will, but a group of administrators who were devoted to her. Although the administration needed to deal with external threats (pro-Catholic uprisings or plots sponsored by France or Spain), the internal politics were stable. An exception was the Earl of Essex's attempt at a rebellion to overthrow the Queen, which was a laughable fiasco. After Elizabeth's death, much of the administrative structure was inherited by her successor. Again there were troubles with pro-Catholic plots (Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot) but apart from that the country ran smoothly and well.
Needless to say, it was not very PC at the time to be sympathetic to the Catholic cause, but if you could avoid that pitfall you were pretty safe.
