The
Techniques of Inca Imperial Rule
lThe Inca, considered virtually a god, ruled
the empire from Cuzco.
lIt also was the site of the major temple.
lThe empire was divided into four provinces, each
under a governor.
lThe Incas had a bureaucracy in which most
of the nobility served.
lLocal rulers (curacas) continued in office
in return for loyalty.
lThey were exempt from tribute and received
labor or produce from their subjects.
