Stateless groups, i.e. after the collapse of polities or after a diaspora, does sound interesting. Hope OP can post some text for us. Understanding how these could survive and potentially thrive could help people like Kurds, Palestinians, and even very dispersed stateless groups like the Roma. It's also interesting to me personally, because I live around many Lakota (aka Sioux) people who have experienced statelessness in a peculiar way, where they were recognized as a nation but without any real sovereignty over their affairs.

Anarchy, the state of the stateless; I have no doubt that it will become an ism at some point in the future...
