There would be different rulers for each piece of land. but the king/ Main ruler, would be the most protected. also the Inca would have the biggest army. also they toke other other lands and they would ask if they would like to join there Inca's if they said no they would die or become a slave. Also the Main ruler was known as the emporium. Also The emperor or king of the Inca Empire was called the Sapa Inca, which means
"sole ruler". He was the most powerful person in the land and everyone else reported to the
Sapa Inca. Also His principal wife, the queen, was called the coya. also the tax collectors would bring more money then they were supposed to so they got more money. that's why they were mostly rich.

Jobs: Commoners were responsible for most of the labor in the Inca Empire. They also built
government buildings, roads, worked in the mines and served in the military. The ranks: Emperor, the nobles, The fights ( Soldiers of the Inca),  and commoners.

Cities: Cuzco Is where schools where and it was the the best city in the Inca because it was the most richest. And you would get more stuff living there. It also is in a beautiful location and would have been a nice getaway for the king.  Machu Picchu was built as the royal estate for the ninth Inca King, Pachacuti. The King would mostly live there.

With no written language, the Inca made a tool for recording the movement of people and
goods. Called the quipu. The quipu is a series of colored, knotted strings. The type of knot indicated a number, and the knot’s placement signified units of 1, 10, 100 or more. All the cords hung from a main string, and their positions and colors likely signaled what was being counted – gold, corn or other
goods.

Technically they did have a language, Quechua. The Inca rulers made Quechua the official language of Cusco when the city became their administrative and religious capital early in the 1400s. When the Inca civilisation expanded further into current-day Peru in the fifteenth century, Quechua became the lingua franca of the rest of the country.

The Inca King built a large city called Machu Pichu. People aren't sure why he built it, but there are many theories. One theory is that it was a place for the king to vacate. It is in a very comfortable spot. It may have been a better place than the capital city of Cuzco! It also is in a very pretty location. Another theory is that it was built for religious purpose. Maybe it was for both reasons. We may never know.

The Inca used their calendar to mark religious festivals as well as the seasons so they could
plant their crops at the correct time of the year. They studied the sun and the stars to calculate
their calendar. The Inca calendar was made up of 12 months. Each month had three weeks of ten days each. When the calendar and the sun got off track, the Inca would add a day or two to bring them
back into alignment.

Everything in the Inca government was pretty straight forward, considering Sapa Inca made all the laws. Sapa Inca sent the laws to the law collector and there were very little crimes. This was because the consequence for doing so is so horrendous, barely anyone would want to face this horrible consequence.
