I've been watching some kind a medieval fantasy _anime_ and I stumbled upon
the following sentence :

**Context :** A character explain how his clan rose to power.

>
> ついには、年貢{ねんぐ}取{と}り立{た}てに検査{けんさ}制度{せいど}を導入{どうにゅう}するなどまつりごとにまで影響力{えいきょうりょく}を持つようになった我{わ}が一族{いちぞく}。

There are two things, I don't really understand in this sentence :

  1. How does ~にまで work in this sentence ? What does **まつりごとにまで** mean ?
  2. I think「など」is used to give an example of something but I'm not sure I really understand what (maybe because of 1.) ?

Basically, I don't really understand those "structures" and their potential
nuances of meaning in this context.

I tried to roughly translate what I understand of the sentence and I got :

_Finally, my clan went as far as bringing in things like a system of
inspection, as an annual tribute, in order to gain influence._

question
grammar particle-に reading-comprehension particle-まで particle-など
Use of「など」and ~にまで
I suppose you almost got it.

  1. にまで: に comes from **Xに** 影響力を持つ = have influence **over X**. まで here is [極端な例をあげて、他の場合を言外に推測させる意を表す。](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7/#jn-208999), or more practically _even_ (it is possible to use _as far as_ , like you tried).
  2. You are correct in that など indicates an example. 年貢取り立てに検査制度を導入する is an example of まつりごと (or まつりごとへの影響力), which is an archaic word for _politics_ (rendered 政 in Kanji). So the sentence gives introduction of inspection into annual tributes as an example of politics.

So the whole sentence means, _Our clan that came to have influence even over
politics, e.g. bringing in inspection system in requisition of annual
tributes._
