Any society that has a concept of "history" and "generation" can have a saeculum. So in the modern world that's virtually all non-hunter-gatherer societies.
Whether that saeculum is suppressed by outside forces (for example, authoritarian rule, or Crises that arise from "outside the society" such as foreign invasions and natural disasters) is another matter.
I have to agree with galaxy on this one. Just the act of establishing a society is adequate. Societies have structure to maintain their existence. The rest follows naturally.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
