Top be fair, it’s quite likely that half the stories of vampires are really about people like this.

Just imagine, you are visiting someone important. They do anything violent, they aren’t particularly hostile. Just being in their house or around them makes you tired quickly for no apparent reason. You return to your home exhausted and pale.

Yup, must have been a vampire.

Problem is - if you look at how “World Powers” behave, do you really wanna live in such countries?

Which Europeans would just love to invade neighbors like Russia and USA?

Which Europeans would love to deregulate their countries in order to enrich elites like USA?

Or perhaps which Europeans would love to live under state surveillance while their country buys out foreign infrastructure like China?
