So the higher levels of corruption in the latter parts of Europe are to do with Soviets, Mongols, Ottomans and Moors then?Quote:

This makes it easier for them to make decisions, think strategically, coordinate actions, they don't drown in emotional quarrels and endless fights about any reforms.Quote:

The characteristic anti-corruption behaviour that distinguishes NW Europeans from the rest of the world goes hand in hand with the "West of the Hajnal Line" breeding behaviour, which was never followed in the regions that remained Catholic through the Reformation, notably Ireland and Southern Europe. Know why?
The Reformation resulted from new information technology (the printing press) letting everyone know how corrupt the Catholic Church was. The people who stayed Catholic just weren't all that bothered about corruption: the Irish, the Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian, and a fair chunk of the French (yes, especially in the southern part of France), not to mention the southern parts of Europe are mixed with non-European blood (lots of time under non-white occupation), and the Irish are just weirdos on an island who managed to avoid through isolation much of the selection pressure that formed whites.
Anyway, the key is cultural unity. Protestants have it, others don't.
The affluent Russians are all migrating to the West.Quote:

Russia needs to compensate from low birth rate and high emigration rate. Propaganda campaign afflicts the churka working class into migrating to Russia to work for slave wages to replace ethnic Russians abroad.
Btw, despite what I said in the OP, it is possible that the after-effects of dictatorships have led to higher levels of corruption in Southern Europe too, even though those regimes ended somewhat earlier than the Soviet bloc ones.
Lel at Seamp and Protestantism (Uno reverse card of ecunemism) adhering social unity.
At most, Protestantism is more compatible with capitalism/individualism. That's why Protestant countries when they thrive economically, they retain huge social gaps and they are socially falling apart.
