That sounds similar to the entity called "tei" in Zirinka and "poeski" in Jarrda. Although in some ways it is the Zireen analog of a nation, it has more in common with a church or a political party in its organization. = Like churches and political parties, tei are defined by shared beliefs rather than boundary lines on a map, and more than one can coexist in the same physical territory.
