statelessness existed and it was very successful

look at the map of the Roman Empire, it stretched from horizon to horizon, but still it had borders

within these borders there were all known civilizations, that also were run by ruling class before they were conquered

outside the borders there were still people; many people, but these people weren't considered civilizations because they didn't have a ruling class

those with a ruling class were conquered by another ruling class to perpetuity

those without were untouched and they even had the power to gall the Empire\

think about it

It’s easier to conquer existing power structures.
