Go to Mauritania... not quite what you'd expect. No concept of a social contract, no democracy, authoritarian government, and slavery is still an entrenched fact of life. Be careful what you romanticize.

There was an actual study of harmonic theory that concluded that this was, mathematically, the best song ever made.
