Darius the Great divided his empire into 20 provinces (satrapies) headed by a Persian provincial governor (satrap) who was responsible for internal and external security, taxes, public works. Within that, local government by cities, princelings, tribes continued. The king and his council oversaw the activities of the satraps.
The kinds of resources that were available to ancient Persia were wood and stone because most of the gold and iron in Persia was buried away. Persia had access to water in most parts of Persia but since Persia is part dessert they had to use engineering to transport water from wells and faraway rivers to build cities in deserts. An example of this would be Yazd (Yazd is a province in Iran).

After King Darius of Persia invaded Greece, the most notable conflict was the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, where the Athenian army achieved a surprising victory against the Persian forces. This defeat prompted Darius to reconsider his plans for further invasion. However, his ambitions were ultimately left unfulfilled as he died in 486 BCE, and his son Xerxes I later launched a second invasion of Greece, leading to significant battles such as Thermopylae and Salamis.
He was murdered, possibly by generals who were jealous of his power, but most likely was killed by a mercenary that was hired by Darius. Darius was the Persian King.

HellasPersia never conquered the whole of Greece and the bits that medized (submitted to Persia) were quickly intimidated back away by the major powers of Athens and Sparta. Persia kept trying to conquer Greece because, simply, it was described to Darius and Xerxes as the most beautiful place in the world, and they wanted it.
Darius has not gone down in history as a lawmaker. But Persia during his reign had a system of laws based on Hammurabi's earlier Mesopotamian code, that had "King's laws" that were valid for the whole nation next to local laws and customs. The only set of laws that Darius ever ordered was a codification of the laws of Egypt. The basis here remained the ancient Egyptian laws and customs themselves that for the most part had never been properly codified.
