Muhndee
this form of Nimbanese competition was developed in an effort to avoid all-out warfare. Each Nimbanese clan would present the others with a puzzle which required complex thinking to solve within a year. These yearly muhndees kept the ancient Nimbanese busy working on puzzles rather than on weapons and warfar. The development of muhndees over the centuries has given rise to a healthy bureaucracy among the nimbanese, as each clan has to keep track of the paperwork involved with solving many of the puzzles. There have also emerged electoral muhndees geared toward determining the best candidates for political positions.
