Empire Reflection- KEK

I linked the most important aspects of my empire to the Incan Empire and the Aztec Empire. There were a lot of similarities between my empire, KEK, the Incas, and the Aztecs. To start of, the Aztecs built their empire from scrath and not having to be taken over by another empire. As for us, we had the same mentality. We built our empire which was made of a strong and worthy government all by ourselves. We didn't need anyone elses help to achieve this large task. In addition, we were also similar to the Aztecs because we also had a military army team instead of slaves. We thought that having slaves were cruel and that every human being, woman or man, should be treated as an equal. Even though, KEK is in a country/continent with the most exported slaves, we felt as if using them would ruin our whole empire and people would look down at us as hurtful individuals. As for some differences between KEK and the Incan Empire, I would say that my empire has a lot less religious "advancements." What I mean by that is the Incans seperate people into groups based on who they are as a person and what they believe in. They group them into catagories as if it's a game. People who worship the sun god live in one area with a government official as their "president". In other places, they would put groups of people who believe in another god so to speak. Also, they'd group them into how one thinks about things. Everyone has different opinions, so they feel as if they should group the people with the same opinions into one "city." Lastly, a similarity of the Incan Empire, Aztec, and the KEK empire would be their intelligent way of making alliances with other empires. For our project, we made alliances with at least 3-4 major empires and many little ones along the way to Shanghay.
