Best Answer

At that period in time it was difficult to organize a larger empire. The bureaucracy required to maintain holdings far from direct control was not available. This led to control being limited to the distance a person could walk or run in a day's time (basically a city). Eventually, leaders like Sargon of Akkad were able to conquer multiple city-states and assemble small bureaucracies to help him administrate the landholdings, leading to the first empires.
