Detailed explanation-1: -The Emperor was the supreme ruler of the state. The empire was divided into four quarters known as the four Suyus. Hence the Incas called their empire Tahuantinsuyu, which means ‘land of the four quarters’. Each quarter was placed under a governor who reported directly to the king.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Inca Empire was ruled by an emperor known as the Sapa Inca, meaning “sole ruler”. Manco Capac was the first Sapa Inca and established the Kingdom of Cuzco around the year 1200. The city of Cuzco was the capital of the Inca Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -The last effective Sapa Inca of Inca Empire was Atahualpa, who was executed by Francisco Pizarro and his conquistadors in 1533, but several successors later claimed the title.
