* The homeland of Kino of ''[[Kino's Journey]]'' was one of these. Adults were all quite pleased and always smiling, happy to do their jobs. This turns out to be because when children turn twelve years old they go to the hospital and have an operation that changes their brains to think this way. It also seems to cause homicidal tendencies when someone questions this, as Kino herself is nearly killed for hesitantly asking if she could ''not'' have it. Things get particularly creepy when a man is stabbed and the town's residents ''cheerfully'' start trying to pull the knife out of him.
