POLITY

A polity is any kind of political entity. It is a group of people who are collectively united by a self-reflected cohesive force such as identity, who have a capacity to mobilize resources, and are organized by some form of institutionalized hierarchy.

政治是任何一种政治实体。它是一个由自我反映的凝聚力（如身份认同）集体团结在一起的群体，具有调动资源的能力，并以某种形式的制度化层级组织起来。
