Don't think so. I've been to México a couple of times and they've got some really weird shit going on.

[Among the other weird shit the rest of the world was getting into. It was long before Nekane existed but the two worlds, once separated, were slammed back together. Magic basically solved all of the world's problems so people got bored and apathetic.

And when people got bored and apathetic, they started to do stupid things.]

Maybe you just never noticed.
