A satrap was a provincial governor in the Persian Empire, responsible for overseeing a specific region, known as a satrapy. Satraps were tasked with maintaining order, collecting taxes, and ensuring loyalty to the central authority of the emperor. They often had considerable autonomy in local governance but were required to report directly to the king. This administrative system helped manage the vast and diverse territories of the empire efficiently.

Satrap
Provincial governor - at its peak there were 20.
They divided it into 20 provinces (satrapies) with a Persian provincial governor (Satrap) in control supervised by the king and his council.
Satrap was the Persian word for a provincial governor in their empire. The persians divided their empire into 20 satrapies (provinces) for ease of governing, governed by a satrap who was responsible to the king and his council for internal and external security, collecting taxes, and overseeing the local governments of the cities, tribes and petty kingdoms within their province.
Satrap
It was merely a Persian religious sect which did not have a political influence. The Persian Empire was divided into 20 provinces (satrapies) with a Persian governor (satrap), overseen by the king and his council, an entirely practical approach, not a religious one.
There was only one king, and hence one kingdom which we call the Persian Empire.The kingdom was divided into provinces (Satrapies), each with a governor (Satrap).The westernmost part of the Persian Empire was Libya in the Satrapy of Egypt.
