dan, you always come up with these thought-provoking topics. the Social Structure of Oddworld. Well, the Khanzumers are rich beyond recognition, but how did they come that way? The Glukkons/Vykkers/ Chroniclers are equivalent to an evil, bourgeoisie class. They care only about their own needs and nothing else, except maybe those of the Khanzumers.
The whole Mudos society (assuming that it may be different elswhere on Oddworld) is an industrial dictatorship, with the matriarchs as the head of the government. There are hints of socialism with the worker uprisings (mudokons) as well as capitalism(Khanzumers/Glukkons, and to an extent the muds)
YOu know, I think the police force is thew Sligs. The "short-arm" of the law, if you will. They say "freeze!" They have slogs at their disposal, they are the police force, the foot soldiers, the guys who control the slaves.
The Mudokon natives society can be compared to a Native American Indian or some form of African/Australian aborigine tribal society. They worship nature and treat it accordingly.
