* Averted pretty handily in [[Cannon God Exaxxion]]. The Riofaldians integrate themselves into Earth culture and their impressive technology revolutionizes humanity... to the point that when they reveal their plans for invasion, they control almost all of the technology on the planet.
* The second variety is played straight in the manga ''[[Watashi no Messiah-sama]]''. Once the protagonist is forced to do [[The Reveal]] about his powers in front of the media and military and declare that he would go against the world if he had to, things get chaotic ''very'' quickly. His school sides with him ''against the world'' and secedes from Japan, declaring independence with [[Rule of Cool|armies of tanks and ninjas]] led by a [[Scary Shiny Glasses|eerily hyper-competent teacher]], while different nations send in special ops forces to wipe the protagonist and his companions out, which results in {{spoiler|a secondary character getting shot and dying, causing her love interest (the so-far unawakened [[Big Bad]]) to perform the biggest [[Face Heel Turn]] of the series, propelling the main plot to it's finale}}.
* Most people in [[Ranma One Half½|Furinkan]] know about Ranma's curse. That means they know magic exists, for one. They talk about it as if they were discussing the weather.
** You may wonder why goverment or army is not interested in group of [[One-Man Army|One Man Armies]] running around and regulary demaging buildings.
* The second season of ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' shows absolutely no consequence blowing the lid on the existence of the Contractors. The general public are somewhat nervous of them, but the can still blend in comfortably with society. Government agencies still use Contractors and Dolls as pawns; the only difference is that they can acknowledge them in their diplomatic dealings with each other.

* Quietly touched on in the ''[[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'' trilogy. In the final scene of the first film, the family gathers around the table to partake of an enlarged turkey dinner, and there is talk of eliminating world hunger. However, the second film shows the attempt to perfect an enlargement ray, although Wayne is now part of an official lab. The direct-to-video third film may hold the key to this apparent [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: Wayne was forbidden to use the shrink ray again, under orders from a committee of the FDA and his wife Diane, despite now being president of Szalinski Labs. Let's apply some [[Fridge Logic]]: either the calorie count of enlarged food remains identical, or some other side effect of using the shrink ray as an enlarger showed up in a way that threatened the food supply and somehow ruined that dinner.
