Timekeeping without referents
How might people keep time in a place where there are neither days nor seasons nor precession of stars? There are periods of light and darkness, periods of hot and cold, but they don't happen at predictable intervals. But if you're going to have a nation, with taxes and armies etc., you need some way to determine when taxes are due, when someone's enlistment is up, etc.
