The ancient nomads have a game called Alaman, which is played on horseback. The goal of the game is to master the carcass by taking it from the crowd of rivals and throwing it in front of the “owner”, that is, in front of the organizers of the game. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of riders compete for the prize. “Alaman” is not only a game. It is very similar to the world political system.
