Traditional Mudokon society was tribal. We've seen the burial grounds of two particular tribes, the Mudomo and Mudanchee. Other structures and areas we've seen may have belonged to other tribes, but since most of these tribes have died out, modern Mudokons probably have little more information on them than we do. Suffice it to say that not all tribes were peaceful with each other, as tribes are wont to be.
The current state of Mudokon society is just as unclear, although we've so far seen the inhabitants of villages and holy retreats working with a central intelligence, if you can call Abe that, for the good of their whole race. Larger scale organization of the species, particularly including the offspring of Mudokon queens other than Sam, is probably next to nothing given the disorganization and disarray they'll be in. Over time, Abe will encounter more far-flung populations who will be able to contribute their resources and culture to the emerging Mudokon society, but I suspect the Quintology will be following more closely their spiritual evolution over their internal politics.
Sorry to be on-topic.
