Countries usually end up with the governments they deserve.

Similarly the relationship between state, employer and employee is very different.
(Tiny example. If you go to any Police box in Japan - they have them - in the evening, they will lend you $20 to get home safely. You just go into another police box and replay it. There is implicit trust that you will do this - because almost everyone does. Totally different culture -totally different government.)
