Social circle game is the hardest and most complicated.

Santa Cruz (pop. 1m) is like a small town with gossip rampant and everybody knowing one another. Social circle game is unquestionably more important in such contexts than in LatAm megacities like BA and Belo Horizonte.

Belgrade's population may be similar, but Serbia's income gap isn't nearly as extreme as Bolivia's. Hence you have less of a small town mentality in Belgrade.

The more intense the "small town" mindset, the more important is social circle game.

And I would never claim it's "all you need". Overall presentation is equally as important, but in this case, anywhere in the world.
