[lojban] band, tribe, chiefdom, people

[Pierre Abbat <phma@bezitopo.org>]

Band, tribe, chiefdom, and state are four levels of complexity of social 
organization. We have a word for state, but what should we call the other 
three?

In "natmi", what's the difference between a nation, an ethnic group, and a 
people? How would you say "He is a Fore" (member of a people in New Guinea)?
