- Current Union Structuring -

Core values:
- community
- stability/structure

Government:
- oligarchy
- small group with strict rules

Roles:
- The Council
+ 2-5
- Guards
+ enforce rules
- Healers
+ treat injury and sickness
- Caretakers (may combine with Healers. Not sure yet)
+ care for the young and elderly
- Hunters
+ specialize in hunting
- Mentors
+ oversee basic training
+ specialize in teaching young cats
- Trainees
+ young cats in training
- Kits
+ kits
- Retired
+ typically elderly cats
+ sometimes also disabled cats who choose to retire due to the limitations of their disability (not all disabled cats)

Rules/Laws:
- in progress
- haven't developed this much
- I imagine they'd be somewhat strict

Consequences for breaking laws:
- community service (cleaning, kit care, elder care, extra hunting responsibilities)
- fines (maybe || restricted prey and/or nesting material)
- imprisonment (for more severe crimes || still figuring this one out)
- banishment (for very severe crimes || will be run off if found on Union land)

Extra stuff:
- cats go through basic training (basic defense, hunting, healing, communication, education on laws, etc)
+ trainees
- after completing basic training, cats can then go through specialized training
+ to become a guard, healer, caretaker, etc.
- I think their current goals are to expand their territory
+ they're stubborn on their way of life being superior and they force this onto surrounding cats (part of the reason that the Coyote's Fangs became a rebel group)
+ they want to ensure that their members have the best opportunities
