Comparison between MY empire and the others

Megan, Lizzie, and I created the South-East Asian Empire, which was found right next to the Ming dynasty and close to the coast of South east asia, and near the Himalayas. 

~Ming 
Our Our empire followed the one of many similar tactics of the Ming. They slowly progressed into forming a large and strong empire. We followed the same path by gathering many different types of people and bringing them together into one powerful empire. 
~Ottoman 
The Ottoman empire is the most similar to our empire because of its diverse people. Our empire brought together those of many cultures including people around China, India, the indonesian islands, and even the coast of australia. Ottoman's successfully worked with this variety of people and were able to manipulate different ideas to form a great empire. 
~Safavid
Whenever I read about the Safavid, I think of religious aspect of the people in that empire. Our empire had a rule to give religious freedom for everyone, because they all came from such unique backgrounds. I feel we had a combination of Safavid and Ottoman even though they were rivals.
~ Mughal 
The Mughal empire is known to try to keep a good partnership between the Islamic and Hindu civilizations. Our empire quite similarly did this, because we made sure to keep a good cultural connection with all the diverse people we had in our empire. Instead of rejecting their ideas, we brought all the cultures into some sort of connection, allowing us to find ways for even trading. So it only brought success for us. 
Aztec~
The Aztec empire were very confident in the things they did. They had slaves that worked for them, and they also performed human sacrifices as a ritual. Our south-east asian empire had slaves from many cultures, so we had many different capabilities of small peasants, bringing us speed in our physical needs. 
~Incan
The Incan  is known for their bureaucratic empire, in which a high emperor reigned for a period of time. Our empire had the exact same system, with Megan, Lizzie, and GG sitting at the top position of emperor. We also had peasants working under us, but they were also treated properly given their freedoms necessary. This peasants in the Incan army were called mita. An important similarity is the gender system. Like the Incans, we also believed that women should have a step up to their own empire. Not only did they do the housework, but were in power and capability to run some government issues for their Incan empire. This is why us three head emperors are women =]
