Japan, famously a place that's not very stressed

However, Guatemala faces many social problems and is one of the poorest countries in Latin America

Somehow also ends up with the good guys as well

    Oh baby!!!

    Japan had been SO STRESSED.

    Its a fucking island. The isolation and limited outside contact made each individual essential and social harmony a necessity. These social norms were very explicit and enforced strictly.

    Back to the island. High population density and limited land is a stressed society. Internalized social shame based on dependency on the society itself being balanced and maintained manifested.

    Rapid industrilization of Japan strengthened industrialized discipline, which is a reinforcement of rules.

    Post War Japan. Atom bomb. Enough said.
