Society A: State is extremely autocratic, corrupt and doesn't respect human rights, but holds the monopoly on violence and all other violent elements in society are completely wiped out.
Society B: State is democratic, respects human rights but doesn't effectively have the monopoly on violence. Armed gangs, feudal lords with their private armies and petty criminals run the show, with many areas having parallel governments run by them.
