A polity is a term for an identifiable political entity, defined as a group of people with a collective identity, who are organized by some form of institutionalized social relations, and have a capacity to mobilize resources. A polity can be any other group of people organized for governance (such as a corporate board), the government of a country, or of a country subdivision. A polity may be a republic administered by an elected representative, or the realm of a hereditary monarch.

Overview 

In geopolitics, a polity can be manifested in different forms such as a state, an empire, an international organization, a political organization and other identifiable, resource-manipulating organizational structures. A polity like a state does not need to be a sovereign unit. The most preeminent polities today are Westphalian states and nation-states, commonly referred to as countries and also incorrectly referred to by the term nations.

A polity encapsulates a vast multitude of organizations, many of which form the fundamental apparatus of contemporary states such as their subordinate civil and local government authorities. Polities do not need to be in control of any geographic areas, as not all political entities and governments have controlled the resources of one fixed geographic area. The historical Steppe Empires originating from the Eurasian Steppe are the most prominent example of non-sedentary polities. These polities differ from states because of their lack of a fixed, defined territory. Empires also differ from states in that their territories are not statically defined or permanently fixed and consequently that their body politic was also dynamic and fluid. It is useful then to think of a polity as a political community.

A polity can also be defined either as a faction within a larger (usually state) entity or at different times as the entity itself. For example, Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan are parts of their own separate and distinct polity. However, they are also members of the sovereign state of Iraq which is itself a polity, albeit one which is much less specific and as a result much less cohesive. Therefore, it is possible for an individual to belong to more than one polity at a time. 

Thomas Hobbes was a highly significant figure in the conceptualisation of polities, in particular of states. Hobbes considered notions of the state and the body politic in Leviathan, his most notable work.

Polities do not necessarily need to be governments. A corporation, for instance, is capable of marshalling resources, has a governance structure, legal rights and exclusive jurisdiction over internal decision making. An ethnic community within a country or coast to coast entity may be a polity if they have sufficient organization and cohesive interests that can be furthered by such organization.

The Bugut inscription () is a multi-lingual inscription first discovered in Ikh-Tamir sum of Arkhangai Province, Mongolia. The inscription is dated to 584 CE and was dedicated to Taspar Khagan (reigned 572–581) the fourth Khagan of the Turkic Khaganate. The inscription is in the form of a monumental wolf-crowned stele 198 cm high that sits on a turtle base 47 cm high. The front, right and left side of the stele has a Sogdian inscription written with Sogdian alphabet. The back side has a possibly Ruanruan inscription written with Brahmi script. The original location of the inscription on the west bank of the Bayantsagaan river, a tributary of the North Tamir river, shows evidence of a walled complex. The wall embankment is 59mx30m with an inner moat 4.5m wide and 2m deep. In the center of the walled complex was a temple whose wooden pillars and roof tiles were still visible on the ground. Only a few brick fragments were found. The inscription itself was found within the walls on a square platform 7.5mx7.5m made of layered stones.

Historical context

The stele was erected in 584 CE with a latest date of 587 CE. It is dedicated to Taspar Khagan who is also called Tatpar Khagan. By this time the Turkic Khaganate stretched from Manchuria to the Black Sea. It controlled the Silk Road while its imperial seat of power was in central Mongolia. The Turkic Khaganate replaced their previous overlords the Rouran Khaganate (also called Ruanruan) in 552 with the help of the Western Wei. The Gokturks proceeded to defeat the Hepthalites with the help of the Sasanian Empire of Persia in 560 CE. The defeat of the Rouran and Hephthalites and their pursuit by the Turks precipitated the migration of the Avars into Eastern Europe. Charlemagne would ultimately accept their surrender in 798 at Aachen and send one native chief, baptised Abraham, back to Avaria with the ancient title of khagan. The Turks allied with the Byzantine Empire against the Sasanians. Byzantine envoy Zemarchus visited Istemi Khagan in the Altai Mountains (Golden Mountains) in 569. The Sogdian language of the inscriptions reflects the prominence of Sogdians on the Silk Road. Sogdians were East Iranians from Sogdia, one of the satrapies of the Achaemenid Empire. The Mongolic Ruanruan inscription reflects the influence of the previous Rouran Khaganate. The title Khagan was first used by the Rourans who were an offshoot of the Xianbei similar to the Tuoba, Khitan, Tuyuhun and Shiwei (Mongols). Some Rouran nobility were Buddhists. The wolf at the top of the stele reflects the Turks' belief in their origin from a wolf like the Mongols. The vertical orientation of the inscriptions and the turtle base reflects cultural influence from China. The Inscription of Hüis Tolgoi is another inscription found in Mongolia, dated to 604 to 620 CE, with a Brahmi Mongolic text.

Sogdian inscription

The Sogdian inscription has the following text:

Nesocerus is a genus of leafhoppers belonging to the family Cicadellidae from the Malagasy region. 
This genus counts at present 35 recognized species. As a large proportion of the Nesocerus species are known only from a few or single specimens.

A recent study revealed that the endemic genus Nesocerus is much more speciose that was previously suspected. The known fauna has increased from eight to 37 species. More species undoubtedly await discovery with more intense sampling in Madagascar. This study is the first to use phylogenetic methods in examining relationships within a genus of idiocerine leafhoppers. Additional knowledge of ecology and life history of these species may help to elucidate the factors that yielded the high degree of diversity in this group. This diverse endemic genus may be useful as a model organism for understanding diversification processes in Madagascar.

BLACKFOX: Age of the Ninja is a 2019 Japanese film. It is a tokusatsu action period film that was produced as a live-action spin-off of the anime film BLACKFOX, which opened in theaters on 5 October 2019. BLACKFOX: Age of the Ninja is a prequel to the anime film, as its main character Rikka Isurugi—a female ninja who fought during the Edo period—is the ancestor of the main character of the anime film. The screenplay was written by Naoki Hayashi, who also wrote the screenplay for the anime film. BLACKFOX: Age of the Ninja was directed by Koichi Sakamoto, and features actress Chihiro Yamamoto in her first cinematic leading role.

Synopsis 
The film takes place in Japan during the age of Samurais and Ninjas. Rikka Isurugi, who was raised to be the next head of the Kitsune (Fox)—a ninja clan that does anything for the right price—meets a girl named Miya, who had been wandering around in the mountains looking for the Kitsune.

Miya, whose father was murdered by a gang called the Negoroshu, places an order to Hyoe Isurugi—Rikka's grandfather and the head of the ninja clan—to have the Negoroshu killed. As a naturally gentle person, Rikka has a problem with killing people. As such, she tries to convince Hyoe to change his mind about accepting the job, but right when she is doing so, the Negoroshu come attacking after Miya.

The hard fight ends in a draw, but as punishment for questioning the head's decision, Rikka is later made to attend to meager tasks. Seeing Rikka clumsily taking on the work, Miya steps in to help, and as the two work together, they become friends. Meanwhile however, an unknown character advances their evil plot as they continue to use the Negoroshu to attack Miya.

Who is the mysterious character out to kill Miya, and what is their reason? When all truths are revealed, Rikka risks her life on a battle to save her friend.
