How did the Assyrians govern their conquered territories?
They exchanged aristocracies between different provinces, so that the new rulers would not be sympathetic to uprisings by the people. This happened, eg, to the ten northern tribes of Israel, whose aristocracies were sent to govern in Assyria and were replaced by an aristocracy from there. The people remained in place, under firm alien rule. The Babylonians copied this technique later when they captured the southern kingdoms of Judah and Benjamin, sending their aristocracies to Babylon to rule there.
What countries have aristocracies?
Every country in the world's history that ever had a king also had an aristocracy, being the nobles created by the kings through the ages. The list would be almost endless.

Also present-day republics that used to have a king or emperor still have an aristocracy, such as Italy, France and Russia. The political influence of those aristocracies often is minimal, with the possible exception of Great Britain.

What is the ranking of aristocracy?
Aristocracies are complicated because the word is alternately applied to monarchies, like England, and oligarchies, like shogun Japan or Renaissance Italy. European aristocracies are based on ranks of nobility, which don't necessarily entitle someone to government power. Here are titles seen in much of English history:KingPrinceHigh Duke/ArchdukeEarlViscountBaronThese titles are known a peerage, and are addressed as lords (except for the king and prince). The below ranks are considered landed gentry and don't really have direct power:BaronetKnightGentlemanOther countries have historically had aristocratic classes that came with power, these include Pope, Elector, Archduke, Tsar, Marquis, and Patrician.Basically, real aristocracies don't have kings. The Italian city-states before the Napoleonic Wars are good examples. The cities were run by wealthy and titled families, with some input from the common people.
