    The Sumerians in Mesopotamia organized into independent city-states, each with their own government. City-states had advanced cities with specialized workers and complex institutions for record keeping and improved technology. Priests and rulers led each city-state, with priests blessing the farmers' food and military leaders taking charge during times of war. The Sumerians developed a rich civilization through agriculture and trade, with their ideas of urban living diffusing to surrounding cultures through cultural exchange.
