A hard bent, totalitarian monarchy vs the origin of western democracy, science and philosophy? Well, given how useless the average ‘free’ human of our modern society is, and the fact that the Spartans beat the shit out of the Athenians, I have to side with... The Romans.
As for where I’d live... Life in general was better in Athens (unless you’re a fan of the army). If I was King, I’d obviously go with Sparta, but otherwise I would probably prefer to hang out with the likes of Plato and Aristotle.
