Is there a non-decadent nation in late era ?

Chelms, LA Man, is reminescent of the Golden Era Arcoscephale, despite the heavy Curse hanging over the land. The worst is behind it; it is the nation of the future.
Patala is ruled by Nagas, not the celestial beings of the earlier times, but the Nagas are not evil. Gurus don't reach the higher levels of enlightment needed to become Rishis. It isn't a decadent nation, unless you count shapechanging Naga seducers as such, but it's perhaps more warlike, and the White One caste is smaller.
The humans of Jomon, once just bandits under Oni rule, have created a culture, incorporated the Tien Chi beliefs of five elements into a different, new system of magic. Not bad.
Tien Chi has probably become stronger. Celestial Masters are weaker than ever, but the barbarian invaders have brought with them VERY nice mages. For the first time, Tien Chi can recruit useful mages in ALL their forts!
Arcoscephale is changing. Their glody days are past now, but they've got new mages, some new tricks (armored elephants) and have only lost Astrologers. That's just a change.
Jotunheim has Seithkona and Norna. Less giants, but that's not decadence. Well, I don't think it is, that seems to be a word that's hard to define. Any way, death and turmoil are precent in most, but not all, LA nations.
