The Persian Empire was a centralized monarchy with an absolute ruler, known as the King of Kings. At the top of the political structure was the king, who held immense power and authority. The king appointed satraps, who were provincial governors responsible for administering various regions of the empire. The satraps were accountable to the king and had to pay tribute to the royal treasury.
