Generally speaking how far along from the apocalypse do you want people to have rebuilt? Do you want tribes, city-states, a second society?

Generally a mixture of all of those. The keyword is that what happened in Qud wasn't an apocalypse but apocalypses. Plural. Multiple cataclysmic events at the end of every major epoch or civilization that resulted in the loose conglomerate of nations, tribes and enclaves of mutants and genetically pure that you see today. Some have rebuilt into primitive hunter-gatherer whilst others, like the Eco-Domes mentioned in the interest check, are the most akin to city states. However, organized societies like these aren't powerful or major enough to form cross-continental diplomatic relations. 

The general gist of the world is that it's in a state of both decline and rediscovery, both technologically and on a societal scale. 

TL;DR: I would say somewhere between tribes and city-states is the general state of the world in Qud.
