I saw an interesting perspective on Sokovia somewhere, that it's good that they invented a country because they'd inevitably screw up any portrayal of a real one. Which is a) sad but likely true but it shouldn't be, and b) then they at least have to give us more details about Sokovia instead of leaving it totally generic.

Oh yeah, totally people, I was thinking more in terms of child/adult in terms of independence.
I read the summary of that book and it sounds interesting, but also creepy.
