This was an idea I brought to the table a long time ago, but I figured I should redo it with the new system in place. Politics, culture, and geography are pretty much the same
Politics: Unlike most of Equestria, Deer Tribes vote for their main leader, called the Duer Meilseoir. The Duer Meilseoir picks a council of advisors called Elowen and together they make all the important decisions to made in the tribe. If the Duer Meilseoir dies before the next election the Elowen vote for one of their own to take up the position.
The Duer Meilseoir faces reelection every two years. His opponent for the title is a random volunteer among the tribe. If the current Duer Meilseoir loses, the new one chooses a completely new Elowen and the cycle of power continues.
The Duer Meilseoir is unopposed, he can continue for another 2 terms depending on whether he gets opposed in-between terms. If no deer volunteers at the end of the second term, the council picks two members to go up for the vote. If more than one volunteer is found, the volunteers draw twigs and whoever has the longest twig goes up against the Duer Meilseoir in the election.
Culture: Deer praise the elements of nature to the highest degree. They believe all things in nature are connected in a great balance that, if disturbed, could destroy the universe. They do not use modern day technology, relying on basic hand tools for most of their needs.
Due to their praise of nature, they have a strict code on how to treat animals and plants. When ever a deer cuts done a tree or eats a plant, they have to plant a new one in it's place. As for animals, the code says to treat any pets as if they were actual family members.
Gwydion (Magic): There are two types of Gwydion using deer, one group of which can talk to animals and the other that can control the elements of nature. Deer that can talk to animals are called Alyse. The main limitation for Alyse is that each deer can only speak to one kind of animal.
The other side of Gwydion, known as Glandur, are usually born with cutie mark-esqe markings on their chests that show which element of nature they control. If they control fire, they have a flame like mark. If they control water, they a bubble like mark. If they control earth, they a mark shaped like a mountain. If they control plants, they have a mark shaped like a tree. If they control the air, they have a mark shaped like a cloud. When ever a Glandur uses their Gwydion, their eyes glow.
Geography: To keep hidden from modern day civilization, Deer tribes are scatter across the forests of Equestria. They reside in brushes and thickets found deep in these forests. There is even a tribe of Deer currently presiding in Everfree Forest, unbeknownst to the citizens of Ponyville.
