The Sumerians and the Akkadians believed in a group of gods that controlled everything including their political institutions. Each major god of the Sumerian pantheon lives in a luxury temple in the part of the city that he/she created, thus bettering each cities character and relationships with its neighbors.

the elite, being the official home of the ruler and his family. Social hierarches were very important in Sumerian city-states. Ruling groups had access to economic and political resources.
