Well said. We're on the same page.
I also think Shango's world is limited. He doesn't know about the overarching presence on Aruba of a criminal enterprise run by the Casa Nostra and their inheritors. Shango is all about sex and orgies. While distasteful, it occurs everywhere and entire governments don't go to the extremes to protect people involved in such.
This government on Aruba is owned by entities who are not Aruban. And not Dutch. The Shango world is just their private Aruban perversion. The big dogs are much bigger.
