Answer 2

Answer:

The empire was split into four provinces (Ujjain, Taxila, Kalinga, and Suvarnagiri), while Pataliputra served as the administrative hub.

Explanation:

• These are the key aspects of Mauryan governance. Under Rajukas, Nagarika, and Gopa, these provinces were further split into smaller administrative divisions.
• he Mauryan empire was an effective and well-run autocrat with a civil service and a permanent army. The Artha-shastra ("The Science of Material Gain"), a treatise of political economics akin in style and scope to Niccol Machiavelli's The Prince, took inspiration from that bureaucracy and how it operated.  The existence of huge, many bureaucratic authorities was the most significant aspect of the Mauryan government.

The Mauryan government was very well organised.
