Polity Types

• Sub-polities are members of a polity or supra-polity. They have given considerable sovereignty up to their governing powers. Some think of them as states, provinces, domains, or sub-groupings within a nation-state.

• Polities are a standard government or interest group, consisting of various numbers of members. They range from World-States to Hyper-Powers although hyperpowers generally form Supra-polities. Sometimes called meso-polities.

• Supra-polities are overarching polities that create a grouping of more conventional polities, usually to resist the advances of a larger polity. Many to most super- and hyper-powers form supra-polities.

Polity Notes

Please note that a polity does not necessarily indicate a government.

• A polity may be any group that organizes for political purposes.
• This includes organizations, institutions, and many other kinds of interest groups.
• Such polities may cleave upon any number of binding factors such as:
  • Cultural identification
  • Geographic identification
  • Historical identification
  • Racial identification (genetic)
  • Religious identification
  • etc.
