That's kind of how they did things politically too. I believe Chahin (from book pictured) says they were something like a united kingdoms. The surrounding tribes got to keep their rulers if they would submit to the central ruler. They of course did this to unite against Assyrian aggression.

>What are some great non-fiction history books you really enjoyed?
Currently wrapped up the Urartu section of this. The author makes such sparse information very exciting (For history nerds anyway) Note: This particular printing didn't seem to come with its plates, which I would assume are colour photos. Maybe mine is an aberration, but do check for them when and if purchasing a physical copy.

The whole first half of this book is on the Urartion territories and the fights they had with the Assyrians. I'm liking it.
