This can be a tribal, feudal, or capitalist society. It can be lawless, or have a rather large but unstructured series of more or less spurious laws and judgements (the way common law looks to someone used to Napoleonic law). Different parts of the community could look distinctly different, but it would be possible lo leave one such community and migrate to another without too much difficulty.It would be fluid in the sense that you're not forced to follow in the footsteps of your forebears, that anyone can move from rags to riches (and the opposite) and that on some level, all would consider themselves equal. Anyone can stand up and say anything, anytime.What it would not have is a large body of unspoken moral "laws" everyone is expected to obey and which lead to ostracism if disobeyed. It may have a few such taboos, rules that seem very strange to outsiders (eat no fowl on Fridays on pain of execution), but there's no underlying moral structure.</blockquote>
