Based on our discussions to date on RP, I'd argue that one. 
"Modelling society" implies a level of simulation.  Without human
players to animate and create a level of social interaction, it
doesn't exist.  This is as versus an automated societal simulation
which runs as a society whether players are present or not.

A specious point for the player-centric, but a key one for the
systemic people.
