Very good question, and in many cases, the answer is "not sure, the only surviving written records are from their Statist enemies".

Paleontology does a better job than history at answering your question. Freer, tribally-administered societies seem to have been taller, more athletic, suffered less chronic disease, and completely rekt their statist neighbours in war most of the time. For thousands of years, States were well-contained in small, geographically isolated locations like the Nile and Indus valleys.

Statist advantages were in propaganda, and ability to hire the best barbarian warriors with promises of bountiful bling and bitches.

Complex economies are also associated with Statism, but not exclusively - locally high population density makes a society capable of a high degree of specialisation - but also vulnerable to Statism.

Look up James S Scott's books like "Against the Grain" for the book-length version :)
