The Kingdom
Time System
The time system used in the Kingdom is a system based off of real time. For each day that passes in the real world, a day will pass in the Kingdom. The time system doesn't concern individual threads, but mainly is a matter for keeping track of the season and the growth of pups.
The system is slightly based off of real seasons in the Kalahari Desert and modified for ease.

Mobs
Mobs are groups of meerkats, a highly essential feature for meerkat survival. Mob structure in the rolepaly mimics real mob structure and though certain unrealistic elements are included, the structure will always remain the same.
Meerkats are led by a dominant, breeding pair. All other meerkats in the mob are subordinate and are not allowed to breed. Within a mob, there are various jobs or tasks that meerkats perform for the sake of the mob such as watching for predators or babysitting pups. These are not permament tasks and each meerkat participates in these jobs on and off for the benefit of the mob.
