As a confederation of six monarchies, there are multiple Negus, (ንጉሥ: King), which is ruled by a Negusa Nagast (ንጉሠ ነገሥት: King of Kings), where each region has some level of autonomy under the grand monarch.

Semitic Settlers (2500BC-450AD)
Around 2500BC, Semitic settlers from Beshtia migrated to ancient Semayati, which was inhabited by other nomadic tribes. Bringing with them the ancient proto-semitic language of 'אָב קַדמוֹן' (meaning 'ancestor' in Hebrew) and, these migrants are viewed by modern day Amharic Orthodox Church followers to be the exodus of Jews led by Moses in the. These settlers set the cultural, religious and linguistic foundations of the various Kingdoms of Semayati, except for the Tuareg tribes that came 3000 years later, and brought the discovery of bronze tools and adobe structures to the original inhabitants of the nation.

Tuareg Wars (450-1100)
From ~450AD-750AD, large nomadic Tuareg tribes from West Kesh began to settle in the northern low-veld, where they took up semi-permanent residence in the fertile plains, warring and skirmishing the local inhabitants with their superior iron weaponry. Due to the scarcity of resources in the steppe regions of Semayati, the Amhara tribes displaced by the Tuareg groups salted the crops and burnt the houses of their invaders in order to get revenge. The bitter rivalry between the two groups continued for centuries, with many tribes being wiped out on both sides, through droughts, famines, pestilence and war, until the formation of the first true kingdoms.

Early Kingdoms (1100-1387)

 * Early iron age tribes form small city-states and kingdoms and fight each other

Federation of Kingdoms (1387-1949)

 * Dominant Amhara kingdom beats others through trade, war and diplomacy, appoints themselves as Negusa Nagast

People's Nation Uprising (1997-2016)
In 1997, a group emerged from 'insert tuareg tribe here', the 'ì-kɑll-æn-ə̀n-t-æ-m-æ̏xluk-k' (meaning 'People's Nation') was an guerrilla army that fought Yatinese soldiers for many years.

Politics & Government
Absolute power is held by Negusa Nagast, where power is devolved to Negus (kings), Ras (Dukes) and Leuls (Princes) among the aristocratic class, all non-noble classes are born indebted to the landowners and their labor goes into the pockets of the landowners in exchange for social security, where the aristocrats must provide adequate working standards, free healthcare, benefits, free transport and free education. This socio-economic model has been called 'Neo-Feudalism' and has been criticized by leftist opposition for creating a large wealth divide between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.

Ethnicity
Semayiti is very ethnically diverse, with Ethiosemitic, Nilotic, Bantu, Khoisan and Berber groups all living within the nation, with a makeup of 24% Amhara, 15% Tigrayan, 14% Tuareg, 11% Tswana, 9% Lou, 8% Sotho, 7% Khoekhoe, 6% Silt'e and 6% other.
