Ukraine is at least second world and they had a pretty good parliament battle just a couple of years ago. Taiwan too and they've had some humdinger sessions. South Korea is considered first world and had a nice row a few years ago... lots injured and one hospitalized. 'More civilized' just means the clothes that get ruined in a fight are more expensive.

Regarding soccer riots and deaths therein, England is about as first world as countries get and that's where that big soccer riot that killed around 100 people happened.
