Everywhere there are people.
The book I linked to above played a key part in turning me into a history nerd with a special intrest in what we don't hear about other cultures. It's old history now, but if you wanted some insights from a sympathetic Western observer on that vanished society, it's not a bad place to start.
No judgement, but part me likes (is that the right word?) to see that corruption and dodgy socio/psychopaths are everywhere.
