There are no 'ideal societies' in the WOT. But peasants are people too, and I would rather be a peasant in a society that values law and order and is very stable, than in a place like Tear and Cairhein. Remember, upward mobility in a medieval society is almost non existant; so if you are going to be a farmer, you want to be a farmer in a place where you feel safe. It also seems that incompetence in rulers is far less tolerated in Seanchan, so that it seems likely that most peasants would be better off...
Provided they don't channel. of course.

wishful thinking if you ask me. The point is "freedom" from leashes. Having the take oaths is worse. *NM*

I think we already know Egwene's position on a "Fourth Oath"

I'd rather see them keep the a'dam, and just leash all the current sul'dam

Fortuona didn't save Egwene and a Fourth Oath to an Empress is worse than what Elaida wanted.

I don't know about being 'quick' - we've had at least 8 books to become familiar with the cultures

It refers to part of Egwene's dream that is yet unfulfilled. It COULD mean Tuon save her. *NM*
