Secondly, I noticed a great external diversity of peoples, their goods, and services. We have something similar, but still, for the most part, the major cities of our empires, not to mention the capitals, are surprisingly homogeneous. And yet... - she paused for a few seconds, thinking about how to formulate her thought in a positive way. - ...behind the external differences, there is no sense of internal alienation. It's as if they, or their ancestors, have fully embraced your way of life, rejecting their own. This is not entirely common, but ultimately it benefits public order and harmony.
As for the level of technology, our worlds are very similar in this respect, with a small difference. On our side, savannah-like technological progress is achieved through individual major players who are concerned with personal gain and glory. As a result, one can observe an uneven picture of a simple peasant farm, working with the simplest tools, coexisting with a high-tech military equipment factory. In your case, I was able to notice a more balanced situation - as if the main achievements of science and technology belong to the state and are used for public and other needs, while people enjoy a relatively equal standard of living in this regard.
Aiyano fell silent and looked at the beautiful view from the terrace - green hills, meadows, the sun caressing the skin.
- However, if you will allow me to be a little more frank... Perhaps I am wrong, but it seemed to me that, on the other side of discipline, some people do not feel that their lives belong to them to the extent that they could, even given the civilization in which they live. It's as if the enjoyment of its benefits has shifted their focus exclusively to surviving within its strict rules, and nothing more. Now we see this pleasant picture and feel warmth in our souls, - she waved her hand at the natural expanses. - But many people are concerned only with the material aspect of their existence, and even not in terms of realizing some ambitions, but simply in the context of earning money to survive within the city walls. I feel a strong presence of the Kami-sama around, but so far I have not met a single person who would be interested in the spiritual aspect of their stay on this earth. In addition to the obvious material aspects of existence, a person also needs nourishment at the emotional level and the opportunity to reflect on their being at a more general level, regardless of the material system in which they are placed. However, so far I feel that the entire vector of the paradigm of existence here is directed towards self-organization of a person within the framework of the mechanism of society, of which he is a cog. In other words, compared to our world, in some places I feel an acute lack of spiritual bonds.
