the Persian Empire implemented a strong centralized government system. The entire country was divided into 20 provinces, and governors and inspectors were sent to monitor each one. In addition, currency and weights and measures were standardized to facilitate exchanges between regions. Roads were constructed to connect major regions across the countries and postal stations, which served as transportation and communication institutions, were reorganized to deliver orders quickly to local areas.
Despite the empire's military conquests, when the conquered people paid a fixed and fair tax to the empire, they were allowed to maintain their own traditions, worship their own gods, and speak their own languages without interference. This approach not only fostered loyalty among the diverse populations within the empire but also helped to maintain peace and stability across the vast and culturally varied territories under Persian control.
