Detailed explanation-1: -In order to administer this empire, the Persians developed a series of satrapies, or governmental provinces. Each province was ruled by a satrap who was a vassal to the King of Kings, or emperor. They also attempted to maintain as much of the bureaucracy that had existed in each land before the conquest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under King Darius, the empire was divided into 20 provinces to try to stop any single region from becoming too powerful. Each province was ruled by a governor, called a SATRAP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Partly as a response to the initial challenges that he faced, Darius reorganized the empire by dividing it into satrapies, or provinces. For each satrapy, Darius appointed a satrap-a political governor-and a military commander.
Detailed explanation-4: -The division of the empire into provinces (satrapies) was completed by Darius I (reigned 522–486 bc), who established 20 satrapies with their annual tribute. The satraps, appointed by the king, normally were members of the royal family or of Persian nobility, and they held office indefinitely.
