The Aztec empire was really a system of city-states known as altepetl where the lesser (conquered) ones paid tribute to the greater ones - it was more of a system of tribute than a single system of government. Usually local rulers were restored to their positions once their city-state was conquered, and the Aztecs did not interfere in local affairs as long as the tribute payments were made. Most of the altepetl city-states were ruled by a tlatoani (essentially a king).

The aztec tribute system was used to show conquered peoples their subordinate status in relation to the Aztecs. The Aztec/Mexica people would extract tribute from their subjects. The Aztecs would receive Textiles, rabbit-fur blankets, clothing, jewelry, and obsidian knives. Tribute obligations were very oppressive because the Aztecs had neither a bureaucracy/form of government nor a strong standing army. In Tang China, on the other hand, tribute would be brought to the Tang court, but officials would also return the favor to their subordinates by showering the tributary states with lavish gifts and confirmation of authority.
