People, but not societies.
The same applies to other episodes of the series too... as you said in the beginning, they pretty much take one type of person and make everyone in that town like that... like how in the first episode everyone just isolates themselves. Even considering why they are doing that (understandable) in a real culture I can think of plenty of ways how some people might want to do something to not have their people just totally die out... but Kino's Journey just has one character type per town. It makes things easier to write storywise, but less believable.
