Actually societies do have moral codes. The Roman Empire's acceptance of morality rooted from the javelins and gladii of the legions, the USSR, PRC, Nazi Germany, and Ba'ath Iraq all accepting as preconditions that individuals have the right to arbitrary power that derives from the barrel of a gun, the various radical Christian and Muslim sects that try to create utopias and are just as horrific a bunch of failures about it as the totalitarians were......
Societal moral codes can differ vastly, even when all those societies are part of one fundamental civilization. And sometimes the moral differences are not so great.
