Modern Moroccan society is no less rich and varied, though perhaps sadly less accepting of difference. The Berber villagers of the mountains are mostly still illiterate and consider their king to be divinely chosen, while businessmen in Casablanca's towering offices dream of closer ties to the European Union.
