History
the Zummidiyavids are both an ethnic and geopolitical entity, being a splitoff of the Parda. After the collapse of the Pardic Empire a philosophical reformation movement swept through the Parda that inhabited the desert. While the Parda largely became adherents to Kism worship, the Zummidiyavids remained staunch deicides and commited to the original mission of Sanaea, while repudiating the harsh imperialistic methods of the old empire.
Government
There is no single unified government ruling the Zummidiyavids. Local councils oversee individual communities and their surrounding territory. Grand ___councils, meetings__ are called periodically at which emissaries from each community would gather to discuss cooperative matters such as such as enforcing borders and Levy collection against their neighboring countries. Many portions of their borders are contested and their neighbors will often refuse to pay fees movement of goods through, leading to semi-frequent border skirmishes and raids.
