The basic units of Sumerian civilization were city-states, which served as independent urban centers with their own governments and religious practices. Each city-state featured a temple dedicated to its patron deity and was ruled initially by priest-kings before secular rulers emerged. This structure fostered a unique identity for each city-state, leading to a rich and complex Sumerian society.
