Tamirate

A tamirate is the region ruled by a tamir (a Suagir chieftain or lord). Much of the Suagir steppe today is divided among a number of different tamirates, some great and others small, whose borders are mostly vaguely defined and often in flux.The Kirdan Empire was also originally divided up into numerous tamirates, each with varying rights, duties, and prerogatives depending on the rank and status of its tamir, combined with the nature of his relationship with the Tash-Teshivan. This (combined with the addition of other types of administrative regions on top of the tamirates) eventually made the organization of the empire so complex that the Tash-Teshivan Kathakai XXXXXXX enacted a series of sweeping reforms, abolishing all the tamirates and replacing them with a uniform system of provinces called satrapies.
