Polities
Polities is a coined name of the political entities, and as of 0.3.2 are only tribes. They can expand, attack each other, have leaders, have technology, and separate into different "Polities".
Polities appear after a few hundred millennia and spawn anywhere with a population, which is marked with red in general info. Another way for Polities to appear is from separating from a previously existing Polity. This becomes the more common way for Polities to appear as empty space begins to disappear.
Polities appear as a single color covering multiple pixels or "cells" which marks its territory. The border cells of a Polity is a lighter version of the main color. There is always a brighter cell inside a Polity. This is called the "Core Cell" and it represents its capital and/or where the Ruler currently lives, etc. Just like real life, Core Cells can move, and you'll see this happen to a Polity very often.
