  • There is Ngatetpya the great cat burglar of Myanmar. He was an actual person from 15th century or something but the later myth describe him as having as having super natural powers granted by enchanted tattoos on his legs. Like neighbouring country of Thailand, the tradition of enchanted tattoos were quite big in ancient Myanmar. You were not considered a man until you have thighs full of tattoos. Anyway, he could jump really high by slapping on his thighs, steal from rich people using his jumping powers and gave back to the poor. When he was finally caught, the king asked him to choose the weapon with which he was to be executed. The burglar blatantly said that he chose the queen consort. The gall of this guy impressed the king so much that he let him serve in his army. History described him as a successful scout/assasin in the king’s army.







  • There are huge economic advantages to their inner circles that only come with them being in complete control. These people are uses to… a certain way of doing “business”, if you can call it that. It’s all basically corruption and abuse of their position for monetary gain. A lot of cronies also prefer them over a democratic government because they can just bribe their way to get their work done. I had even heard a bit of whining even from average business owners over difficulty in procuring licenses and permissions during the demographic government rule. Granted most of them want demographics governments but some still wanna bribe their way in like before.
